Korean boy band SHINee began a tour of Japan last week and will close with a concert at the Tokyo Dome next year, the group’s agency said Monday.

SM Entertainment said the band kicked off their tour at Japan’s Saitama Super Arena with performances on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, and will stage eight more concerts in four cities, including Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo, until next February.

SHINee’s Japanese tour is set to end at the Tokyo Dome, one of the country’s biggest concert venues, Feb. 24 and 25 next year.

The boy band last held such a tour in February 2018. (Yonhap)
