FT Island, a boy band that popularized the K-pop rock genre in Korea in the 2000s, will hold concerts across Asia as part of its "FaTe" tour.

The group is scheduled to begin the tour in Macau on June 13, according to the band’s agency FNC Entertainment on Saturday.

The band will follow the date with performances in Taipei, Taiwan on June 20 and 21, Singapore on June 27, Hong Kong on July 19, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 25, Bangkok on Aug. 8, Nagoya, Japan on Sept. 6, Kobe, Japan on Sept. 19 and 20, and Tokyo on Sept. 26 and 27.

FT Island had previously confirmed concerts in Seoul on June 6 and 7. The agency said additional tour stops will be announced later.

The group was the first to debut under FNC Entertainment, setting the stage for the agency’s later rock bands such as CNBlue and N. Flying.

The band is known for hits like “Love Sick” (2007), “I Hope” (2009) and “Severely” (2012). It most recently released a series of digital singles under its “FTestination” project last year.
