Global Time Zone Adjustments and Screenings
BigHit Music confirmed that screening times will be carefully adjusted to accommodate different international time zones. Because of this logistical scheduling, fans in specific regions will watch the transmissions on a delayed basis one or two days later.
The announcement of these global cinema events was officially published via the K-pop fan community platform Weverse, outlining the scale of the rollout spanning over 80 territories.
Latin American Tour Precedent
| Tour Segment / Event | Key Locations | Metrics / Scale |
