I-dle announces N. American tour on NBC's 'Today Show'

By Shim Sun-ah

SEOUL, March 5 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group i-dle has said it will return to North America in August for its biggest tour to date in the region, performing in 10 major cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico.

The announcement was made during an appearance on NBC's "Today Show" on Wednesday, where the members told viewers they were coming back with a North American tour and looked forward to meeting their fans, known as Neverland.

"(Our last) tour was two years ago, so we miss our fans so much," Yuqi said.

The quintet also performed its latest single, "Mono (Feat. skaiwater)," on the show.

Cube Entertainment, the group's agency, released the official poster for the North American leg of the ongoing "Syncopation" world tour through the group's social media accounts Thursday.

According to the poster, the North American leg will begin Aug. 2 in Hamilton, Canada, before moving to Newark, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, San Antonio, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle. It will mark the group's largest shows in the region.

The world tour, which began in Seoul last month, is set to continue in other Asian cities, such as Taipei and Bangkok, and in Australia before heading to North America. Additional cities and dates will be announced later, the agency said.
