Eric Nam announces world tour as K-pop groups resume offline shows, fans 'bless' him

We've had K-pop groups like BTS, Monsta X, Epik High and VeriVery announce overseas concerts

Looks like our global lockdown days that began in 2020 is finally behind us. With a majority of the people getting vaccinated and the restrictions easing up, the world is returning to a state of normalcy. This has been evident with people flocking to attend different events. Cinemas have been reopening, matches have been allowing a live audience and offline live concerts are once again taking place. K-pop groups like BTS, Monsta X and P1Harmony are having overseas events and Eric Nam is the latest artist to take this bold step.

The K-pop star first had his North American tour in 2018 and was ready to go on his first world tour in January 2020. Unfortunately, the Latin American and North American leg of the tour was canceled due to the pandemic. The Korean-American artist has since been focusing on his podcast and collaborations with the likes of DAY6’s Young K and Indian singer Armaan Malik. Eric Nam also released his latest single ‘I Don’t Know You Anymore’ on October 15. Well, it looks like that was just a sneak peek at what he has in store for fans.
