BTS Sells Out Busan Concert as Part of World Tour 'ARIRANG'
The global sensation BTS is set to perform at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12 and 13 for their 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN'. The pre-sale for FC membership, which took place on the 29th via NOL Ticket, saw all seats for both days completely sold out. This tour has been a sell-out success from its first stop in Goyang, followed by sold-out shows in Japan, North America, and Europe.
BTS returns to the same stage they graced in October 2022 for the '2030 Busan World Expo Bid Concert 'Yet to Come' in BUSAN', marking their first full group performance in 3 years and 8 months since their military enlistment. The second day of the concert, June 13, holds special significance as it marks the anniversary of the group's debut.
The excitement extends beyond the stage with BTS hosting a large-scale city project, 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG', across Busan from June 5 to 21. 'The City Arirang' aims to transform the entire city into a massive cultural hub by reflecting the group's music and narrative throughout the urban space. This project kicked off in Seoul with the release of their 5th studio album 'ARIRANG' in March and is now expanding to Las Vegas and Busan.
