Boy band MustB will be participating in the upcoming Banzai Kon event in South Padre Island in Texas.

The band’s agency MustM Entertainment announced Wednesday that the boy band will be flying over to the United States to hold a solo concert on Sept. 30 at the Cameron County Amphitheater, a day before the event kicks off.

During the concert, the band will perform various hits including “La Señorita,” a single it recently released. It’s the boy band’s third concert in Texas since its debut in 2019.

On Oct. 1, MustB will attend Banzai Kon, a popular anime convention that gathers fans from across the world. The organizers of the event said MustB is the first Korean idol group to be invited for a fan meet and greet. The band's label said the members will dress in cosplay, take photos with fans and engage in various events.

The upcoming event is the boy band's first overseas schedule since the release of “La Señorita” on Sept. 19. During its visit to Texas, the label said MustB will also pay a visit to Space X, an aerospace manufacturing facility founded by Elon Musk.

MustB debuted in January 2019 as a seven-member boy band. However, the band had to halt its activities for more than a year just three months after its debut as the band’s then manager was killed in a car accident while driving with four members of the band. While the band was taking a break, two members left. MustB now consists of Sihoo, Taegeon, Soohyun, Doha and Wooyeon.
