Love Yourself: Tear consolidated the group's international appeal, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200, while becoming BTS's highest-charting and first number one album in the US.

BTS will now perform at Wembley on both 1 and 2 June. They will also play Paris’s Stade de France on 7 June.
The Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour kicks off on 4 May at the Rose Bowl Stadium, Los Angeles, California, and will see the group head to Chicago, Brazil and Japan.
