Boy band Teen Top will visit with fans in Taiwan at a concert on Oct. 21, agency TOP Media said Thursday.
It has been four years since the four bandmates held a concert in the city, and the bandmates said that they are very excited to reunite with fans after such a long time. The show is to be themed as an “all-time dance concert,” as will its Seoul dates slated for Oct. 7-8. The Seoul shows are an encore out of gratitude following previous shows three months ago.
The foursome, now in the 14th year of its music career, brought out fifth single “Teen Top [4Sho]” in July, its first album in about three years to include all the members.
The band debuted in 2010 as a six-piece act, but L.Joe left in 2017 and former leader C.A.P. quit in May.
