BTS Takes over Busan with a Massive free ‘Yet to Come’ Concert to Support South Korea’s Bid for World Expo 2023

While the Concert provides a long-awaited connection with the group. Many fans still hold sentiments about BTS being “used”.

Kwak stated that almost every ARMY understands that this concert is a way for members to be used for a political cause. “But the fans are keeping calm and making sure that there are no problems with the concert because we don’t want any more criticism of Busan’s management of all its guests or the venues sites.

ARMY members opposed the announcement that the concert would be held at Busan’s Ilgwang stage. They visited the site and assessed the safety risks associated with holding a large-scale event in such a crowded part of the city. Local officials changed the venue to Asiad Stadium after receiving more complaints.

Due to an issue with tickets, thousands of fans had to wait for three hours before they could enter the stadium on Saturday.

There were more tears of joy than sadness at the end of each day.

 BTS demonstrated a willingness to continue group activities into the later years of their careers by delivering a series of closing remarks. J-Hope said, “I believe we’re at a stage where we need to trust you,” and was the first to speak out about the group’s future during remarks.

“Although it is so sad that the concert has ended, it’s not as if we have nothing but today. Jimin laughed and said, “We will continue for 30 more years…and even perform when our 70th birthday is approaching.”

This was the last concert that Asaka Inoue, her mother, and their Tokyo trip to Tokyo ended with a happy ending.

“I was afraid there would be a sad announcement at the concert but I was relieved when the members announced that they were committed to continuing as a band,” stated the 26-year old, who was off work for days to travel to Busan with her mother for four days.

RM closed the night with what every ARMY wanted to hear from their “idols” throughout the night. “All seven members share the same thoughts at the moment. “We will continue to make and sing music if we have your trust, as Jimin said,” RM stated.

Busan is among four cities that are in contention to host the World Expo. This fair, which will be held in 2030, is proposed to be held in three other cities. Rome, Odesa (Ukraine) and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) are also being considered. Next year, the Bureau International des Expositions is expected to vote for the winner.

BTS was named ambassador in Busan’s 2030 World Expo bid. According to Hit’s statement, the band was selected “because they understand and share the same values” according to BTS.
