'BTS' CONCERT - YET TO COME IN BUSAN
More than 50,000 spectators cheered and shouted 'BTS'. Fans who could not enter the stadium cheered and enjoyed the performance together outside the stadium.
On the 15th, tens of thousands of ARMYs gathered at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium, Yeonje-gu, where BTS' solo concert 'Yet to Come in Busan' was held to bid for the 2030 Busan Expo.
It was
the first time that BTS' concert had turned into a nationwide festival, instead
of a gathering for the band and its fans. The tickets for the 50,000 in-person
attendance and the 10,000 remote real-time view had been allotted for free,
with a set amount provided to paid-membership fans first and the rest given out
to the general public through lottery system. The event was also live-streamed
through various online and broadcast channels around the globe.
Around 11 am when the concert ticket box opened, there were ARMYs from all over the world around the concert hall. Companies and institutions set up publicity booths to welcome them, and ARMYs lined up for tens of meters to get BTS goods.

Even in the midst of a huge crowd, the
ARMYs lined up in an orderly manner, or inform directions to the concert venue
amongst the fans. In particular, some ARMYs also distributed goods such as BTS
fans and photo cards that they made themselves.
Also, near the concert hall, buses wrapped with BTS faces or trucks transmitting BTS videos roamed around. In particular, in the sky, an Ed Balloon announcing BTS member 'Jin' was floating leisurely against the clear autumn sky.
