With BTS’s World Tour: ARIRANG going on strong, which began on April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, HYBE is pulling all the stops to ensure everyone knows that BTS is back! With The City projects already completed in Seoul and heading to Las Vegas next, the company could not forget to include Busan – members Jimin and Jung Kook’s hometown – into the mix, especially since the group will be playing there on their 13th anniversary (June 13, 2013).
The group – comprised of RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook – will have two nights of concerts at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium (Friday, June 12, and Saturday, June 13). BTS performed their final show (BTS BUSAN) as a group there before each member had to enter the military in October 2022. Now, the group returns to Busan with a city takeover – AGAIN! During their 2022 free concert in Busan, over 503,000 visitors visited Busan in ten days (two-thirds of attendees came from overseas). It was also noted that the event and The City events generated around $760 million for the local economy.
The City ARIRANG will unfold throughout Busan, including installations designed to harmonize with the cityscape, hotel packages, off-site events, a stamp rally, and more.
Please note that everything is subject to change based on weather and on-site conditions. Some programs require advance reservations; further details will be provided in a separate notice. Some programs have limited capacity and are managed in accordance with safety guidelines.
