B1A4 will begin their first overseas concert tour in Taipei and Shanghai this August.

On Wednesday, WM Entertainment said, “B1A4 will start their overseas concert tour ‘2014 B1A4 Road Trip READY?’ in August.” 

B1A4’s concerts have sold out several times and their songs “Lonely” and “What’s Happening” have topped the charts.

After with their fifth EP release in July, they will start their world tour in August in Taipei and Shanghai and move on to Manila in September.

WM Entertainment said that the name “Road Trip” meant to suggest that the members were growing up and developing their performance through new experiences. Currently, they are racking their brains to come up with unique performance and fan service ideas.

“B1A4 members always dreamed about performing in many different countries. Members’ passion toward preparing for the ‘Road Trip’ is incredible. They are trying their best to communicate with the audience who they will meet through ‘Road Trip,’” WM entertainment added.

A special event for fans has been arranged, as well as custom fan service events for regional groups. One of the reasons for the concert is that all five members hoped to approach their overseas fans in a friendly way.

CJ E&M, co-sponsor of the concert said, “B1A4 confirmed their popularity in Korea and Japan through their concert, but it is their first time to hold a formal concert tour overseas. Their overseas fans have great expectations for the concert.”
