Fan Charlotte Hofstetter didn't hesitate to travel from Singapore to Bangkok, Thailand in January to catch them on stage. "I was excited for live concerts," she says. "It was the first stop in the Asian leg of their tour and Lisa's hometown, so it was a special place to be." The group started the tour in Seoul, the capital of their home country, and have since performed in the UK, mainland Europe and the US. They are now playing to packed stadiums in Asia."As the easing of Covid regulations in Asian countries were expected to be the slowest, the Asian countries were placed last on the tour. We believe that was an accurate anticipation."Many countries in Asia have lagged behind Western nations with easing Covid restrictions.
Entertainment giant Live Nation, which runs live events and also manages ticket sales, says Asia took around a year longer than other parts of the world to bring back big shows. Covid remains a major concern for performers, Tim Chambers, a ticketing and live entertainment adviser, told the BBC.
