Korean idol band Big Bang will become the first K-pop group to perform at Japan’s top three concert domes for their first world tour.

YG Entertainment said in a press release Monday that Big Bang had added the Fukuoka leg of "BIGBANG ALIVE TOUR 2012 IN JAPAN SPECIAL FINAL IN DOME," set to open at the prestigious Yahoo!JAPAN DOME in Japan on December 22.

The five-member group has already been set to hold special concerts at the Tokyo Dome on November 23 and 24 and Osaka’s Kyocera dome December 5.

YG officials added in the statement that the group has extended the Japan tour to show the members’ gratitude to their dedicated Japanese fans.

Big Bang brought in around 150,000 fans to their 13 shows held in Japan from May to June, which will add up to about 355,000 audience members including the forthcoming shows in the latter half of 2012.

Meanwhile, the “STILL ALIVE” singers are scheduled to perform at the Singapore leg for their first world tour "BIGBANG ALIVE TOUR 2012" at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on September 28 and 29.
