For North American fans of K-pop, concert opportunities are often few and far between. Things are getting a bit better in 2019, though, and this year is off to a bright start with a wide array of artists planning to hit up the touring and festival circuits in a variety of cities throughout the first half of the year. Excitingly, this year will be the first time in three years that K-pop girl groups will be holding multi-city tours. And it's not only K-pop, but Korean hip-hop artists set to tour as well. While there will surely be more tours announced in the coming weeks, here are just some of the upcoming shows featuring acts from South Korea taking place in North America this year. WINNER

The “Really Really” quartet are kicking off 2019 with the Stateside leg of their Everywhere tour, just a few weeks after dropping their song “Millions.” The first time they’re touring in the U.S., their first show will take place on Tuesday in Seattle at the Paramount Theater. WINNER will then hold shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and Toronto before heading to New York for the final show at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. Oh My Girl

Last year saw this seven-member team release their duo of refreshing singles “Remember Me” and “Secret Garden,” and now they’re joining the big leagues by becoming the first K-pop girl group to hold a tour in the U.S. since Apink did so in 2016. Oh My Girl will kick off their first U.S. tour on Jan. 18 in Atlanta, then head to Chicago, Houston, Indio, Calif., and San Jose before the month’s end. STAGE SESSION VOL.1 AMERICAN TOUR Fans of hip-hop will be able to catch some of South Korea’s most popular artists, as Loopy, Nafla, Mommy Son, Nucksal and Deepflow hold shows in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New York and Toronto at the end of January and early February.
