iKON will hold six concerts in Japan as part of its “iKON Japan Tour 2022” in July, the boy band’s agency YG Entertainment said Friday.

It will kick off the tour on July 2 at the World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan, where it will perform for two days.

The remaining concerts will be held at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan on July 9 and 10.

It has been two years and six months since iKON last performed in Japan.

iKON debuted in 2015 with an EP titled “Welcome Back.” Some of its hit songs include “Climax” (2016), “Love Scenario” (2018) and “Killing Me” (2019).

Originally debuting with seven members, iKON was reorganized as a six-member band in 2019 after its former leader B.I’s departure following allegations he had purchased drugs. The current members are Jay, Song, Bobby, DK, Ju-ne and Chan.

iKON is set to release new music early next month.
