The SBS music program "Inkigayo" is scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan.

According to Sports Chosun's reporting, "Inkigayo" will be held in Tokyo for two days on October 3rd and 4th.

This is the first time "Inkigayo" will meet local fans overseas. While it has visited various regions domestically under the name "Super Concert," this is the first overseas event in the approximately 27 years since the show began airing.

The "Inkigayo" event held in Tokyo in October is expected to be broadcast under the name "SBS INKIGAYO LIVE in TOKYO." Currently, the production team and related parties are working hard on casting to create a spectacular lineup.

With various broadcasting companies' music programs like KBS2's "Music Bank" and "Music Bank Global Festival," and Mnet's "MAMA" recently expanding to global stages, "Inkigayo" confirming an overseas performance is also drawing attention. This is interpreted as a trend of domestic music programs expanding their stages worldwide as the global status of K-pop rises.

Industry insiders generally agree that as travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have lifted, domestic broadcasters are becoming more active in holding K-pop performances overseas. It is expected that "Inkigayo" will also expand its global stage, starting with Japan.

Global K-pop fans are eagerly anticipating which K-pop stars will visit "SBS INKIGAYO LIVE in TOKYO" on October 3rd and 4th.
