The two times Grammy-nominated band has broken several records with their music. They enjoy one of the largest fan bases, known as BTS fan ARMY, across the globe. The band's every concert is jam-packed with the audience grooving to their songs. While the band resumed their live shows back in November 2021, they recently revealed they had a tour planned in 2020, before the pandemic, in which one of their stops was Mumbai, India.
BTS members recently had a conversation with Spotify about their live shows. The band revealed how they embarked on a fulfilling journey in 2020 as they released various smash hits, including ON and their first English-language song Dynamite. However, many of their plans came to an end due to the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world.

RM mentioned they wanted to travel to various continents and said, "After ON, our goal was to go on a tour for a year travelling several countries in other continents like Australia." Jungkook further added how they had to call off their tour due to the global pandemic. RM added they were planning to go to various countries and said, "We were planning on going to Barcelona, South America, and India." When he said "India," other members added, "We planned to go to Mumbai."
