The stadium's staff (not HYBE staff, the staff who were sent by the local government) tried to create a crowd crush situation after the concert ended.
The fans said they got shouted at and got pushed into the crowd, and it was hard to breathe there.
BTS, please, NO MORE BUSAN๐
Happy 13th Debut Anniversary, BTS!
From those 34 first-day sales to sold-out stadium tours and billions of streams!
On June 13, 2013, seven young trainees took the stage under the name BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan, or Bulletproof Boy Scouts). Few could have predicted that this group, debuting on a struggling independent label, would go on to be one of the most influential and successful musical acts in the world.
Over the next 10 years, BTS broke records, broke down cultural barriers, and redefined what a โK-pop groupโ could do. They made history as the first Korean act to top the Billboard 200 with more than one album, performed at the United Nations, spoke to world leaders and cultivated a devoted global fan base that transcends language and borders.
Their impact is felt far beyond the world of music. BTS has aided South Koreaโs economy with tourism, exports and cultural soft power. They advocated messages of self-love, mental health and social justice, and popularised Korean culture all over the world.
BTSโs journey reminds us that greatness can emerge from the most unexpected of sources. No one could have predicted that these โbroke rookiesโ would become the Biggest Band in the World.
As they celebrate 13 years, ARMY around the world celebrates not just the music but the resilience, growth and unbreakable bond that transformed an underdog story into a global phenomenon. To many, many more years of BTS. ๐
[NOTICE] Apology Concerning the Delayed Start of BTS WORLD TOUR โARIRANGโ IN BUSAN on June 12
Hello.
This is HYBE.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who attended the BTS WORLD TOUR โARIRANGโ IN BUSAN today, June 12, for the significant inconvenience caused by the delayed start of the concert.
While we strove to ensure seamless operations to provide a meaningful experience for our audience, a combination of factorsโincluding on-site communication issues, bottlenecks during fan gift distribution, and delays in merchandise pickupโresulted in a delayed start to the show.
We once again express our deepest apologies for causing great disappointment and inconvenience to our audience members who waited a long time to view the performance.
To prevent these issues from happening again at tomorrowโs show, we will thoroughly review and improve all aspects of our on-site operations, including the entry process and gift distribution.
