Since K-pop concert tours ended more than a year ago, fans have been unable to see their idols perform live, but online events are going strong.

This week sees KCON, a global Korean culture festival, host its third online concert event and Dreamcatcher put on a unique concert series, while next week will bring Shinee’s long-awaited return to performing, with their first concert in several years.

Shinee (stylised SHINee) made a comeback last month after a lengthy hiatus with the album Don’t Call Me, and will hold a concert on the V Live app, as part of the latter’s Beyond Live concert series, on April 4.

Called “Shinee World”, it continues the theme of Shinee’s previous live concert tours, which were similarly titled.

The group most recently held four shows in Tokyo and Osaka in February 2018 as part of a Shinee World the Best 2018 event; they were the first performances by the band following the death of band member Jonghyun.
