A heavy blizzard did not deter Japanese fans from seeing their favorite K-pop stars perform.

Popular idol group TVXQ continued their national Japan tour by performing at the Niigata Toki Messe on February 18th.

Heavy snow has been falling in the Niigata area since January, causing the airports to shut down and even taking the lives of 50 citizens.

Without fail, the snow came down hard on February 18th, the day of TVXQ's performance. Despite the dangerous weather, 2,000 fans stood outside the venue since the early hours of the morning waiting for the performance to begin.

More fans arrived as the merchandise began selling at around 1:00PM, and all the goods sold out within an hour of going on sale, setting a new record.

By the time TVXQ wraps up their Japan tour around April, they will have put on 26 performances in 11 different cities including Hiroshima, Osaka, Saitama, Tokyo, and more.

TVXQ will have performed in front of an estimated number of 550,000 total fans by the time the tour comes to an end, making it the single greatest tour TVXQ has ever put on.
