The K-pop group is continuing to prove they’re one of the biggest phenomena in the world, establishing themselves as a global name that’s breaking records previously held by some of the most timeless names in music.

BTS’ recently announced Love Yourself: Speak Yourself World Tour makes just a few stops around the world, with London’s 90,000 capacity Wembley Stadium as one of them. Tickets priced from around $65-$230 sold out in under 90 minutes, making history as the first Asian artist to sell it out and adding their name to a list alongside Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and One Direction.
