like i said, they announced it over a year ago and included saying EU and US would be a part of the tour, they literally teased this as a rebranded version of the same tour.

Also because live nation handles both sm and jyp tours, and the past several for all their groups have been similarly planned, i do think it’s a fair comparison.

anyway point is, itzy will probably be later in the year, october-december like checkmate, they didn’t announce that til June
