BTS, the biggest band in K-pop, have begun the US leg of a world tour covering at least 11 months, 80 concerts and 34 cities.
The physical demands will be intense. In addition to performing high-energy dance routines onstage, they will also devote hours each day to rehearsals, fittings, hair and make-up sessions, photo shoots and media appearances.
