K-pop supergroup BTS has kicked off its reunion world tour after a nearly four-year hiatus.

Tens of thousands of fans from all over the world braved the rain at Thursday’s kickoff performance near Seoul.

The downpours didn’t dampen the mood for its ARMY of fans, as they’re known, and the band didn’t disappoint with a set list of more than 20 songs.

BTS burst back on the scene with a massive one-off concert last month in Seoul. All seven members had recently completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

They head next to Tokyo before bringing their tour to North America.
