[🇺🇸] BTS Seeks Approval for Gwanghwamun Square Performance to Mark Full-Group Comeback

BTS is planning a historic full-group comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.

According to industry sources on the 19th, BIGHIT MUSIC recently applied for venue usage and filming permits with the National Heritage Administration for Gwanghwamun Square, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the Sungnyemun Gate area. The proposal is set to be reviewed by the Cultural Heritage Committee on the 20th. BIGHIT MUSIC stated that official details will be announced once the location and schedule are finalized.

The event, tentatively titled "K-Heritage and K-POP Fusion Performance," is being considered as a free concert for fans. Discussions are underway to limit the audience to approximately 15,000 to 20,000 attendees through a pre-registration system. This performance is expected to be a symbolic stage marking the group's official return following the completion of all members' military service.

BTS will release their 5th studio album, "ARIRANG," on March 20, featuring 14 tracks that reflect the team's identity. Following the comeback, the group will embark on a massive world tour starting at Goyang Stadium on April 9. The tour is scheduled for 79 performances across 34 cities, marking the highest number of shows in K-pop history. There is also growing speculation regarding additional dates in Japan and the Middle East.
