[MyDaily = Reporter Park Seoyeon] K-pop supergroup BTS will mark their debut anniversary with a major event in Busan.
On the 18th, their agency BigHit Music announced that BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will hold “BTS WORLD TOUR: ARIRANG” in Busan on June 12–13 and roll out “The City,” a project designed to fill the city with their music and storytelling.
BTS THE CITY ARIRANG – BUSAN (hereafter “The City Busan”) will transform Busan into a cultural festival for residents and visitors alike. BTS first staged The City during their 2022 concert BTS
in BUSAN, supporting Busan’s bid for the 2030 World Expo and turning the city into a kind of concert play park. They return roughly four years later for a special homecoming. The project carries extra meaning because it takes place around BTS’s debut anniversary on June 13.
Busan Metropolitan City has played an active role in coordinating and sponsoring the event. Organizers worked closely with local authorities to create an open festival that welcomes both concertgoers and ordinary citizens. Major landmarks across the city will be lit with BTS’s messages, including a drone light show over Gwangandaegyo Bridge and a Big Roof light display at the Busan Cinema Center, along with presentations at the Busan Eurasia Platform and the Gwangbok-ro media façade. Tied to the Haeundae Beach Sand Festival, the Love Song Lounge and Love Quarter will let people enjoy the festivities throughout the city. At the community space ARMY Madang, global big-tech sponsors will host interactive booths, blending cutting-edge technology with entertainment for a distinctive experience.
The festival will also offer a rich mix of shopping and food-and-beverage experiences. Large pop-up stores will feature an official merch zone and hands-on exhibits to create dynamic spatial experiences. Many of Busan’s notable culinary brands will participate, showcasing their distinctive flavors. Visitors can also take in BTS’s music and messages on Busan city tours, yacht cruises, and themed lodging packages.
