For the moment these are the confirmed K-pop groups that have announced their tours, but we still have big names off this list, one of them being BLACKPINK.
The girl K-pop band have a somewhat busy schedule for this year, they are planning on releasing a new group album and probably a World Tour that could be announced later, throughout the year.
K-pop NFTS
On 2021 some K-pop companies like SM, JYP and Hybe Entertainment decided to make a move into NFTs, despite a huge backlash from fans because of their low environmentally friendly impact, they continue they journey but are willing to use greener blockchains.
#Binance announces its partnership with @ygent_official including plans for collaborations in the NFT space.

YG Entertainment is Korea's leading entertainment group that manages BIGBANG, BLACKPINK, TREASURE & other famous K-pop artists.
How could a non-fungible token benefit the fans? What if this NFT has a utility that could allow the holders to meet & greet their favorite K-pop idol, a personalized message, or maybe an entrance to a concert? Or will it just become digital memorabilia? In any case they need to make it in a way to keep fans happy.
After a hard couple of years, in which we have ‘learned’ to live with COVID-19 around us, been able to see our favorites artists back, live on a stage gives us happiness and a break to keep enjoy life against all adversities.
Share with us if you are planning to attend one of these concerts!
