K-pop group Big Bang will continue its world tour in Hong Kong and Shanghai on consecutive Fridays from this week.

On Wednesday, Big Bang unveiled video clips of its successful Guangzhou concert held May 30-31, bringing attention to its upcoming tour destinations.

In collaboration with South Korean portal Naver’s video service “Naver TV Cast,” the K-pop idols opened a channel named “TOUR REPORT,” through which the group will share behind-the-stage happenings and lively atmosphere from each tour concert.

The video from Guangzhou stage shows Big Bang fans waiting to greet the group despite the pouring rain, and close-ups of Big Bang members getting ready in the green room, G-Dragon and Taeyang’s comical dancing, Seungri’s poetry for Guangzhou using the city’s acronym, and more.

Taeyang said, “We started off our China tour concerts from Guangzhou, and we are so happy for the enthusiastic response from our fans.”

“We don’t know when, but if we have the opportunity to, we’d like to hold another concert here.”

The K-pop quintet from YG Entertainment is on a roll of tour concerts for its “MADE” project. Since May, the group is releasing a single on the first day of each month for four consecutive months.

“M” came out as a smash success after releasing on May 1, followed by “A,” which tracks are stubbornly sitting at the top of the domestic charts for 10 days since release on June 1.

Its next stop is Hong Kong, from June 12 to 14, and Shanghai from June 19 to 21.

The group will also perform in Chinese cities of Dalian and Wuhan before moving onto Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
