The show was a huge moment in Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, which is vying to host the World Expo in 2030.
“We were all crying when we announced that our activities as a group will stop and solo pursuits were to follow,” vocalist V told the concertgoers. “And yet we are here having a concert as a group again.”His remarks were met with collective “ahhs” and “ohhs” from disheartened fans, and his bandmates quickly intervened, saying that they are not “stopping” but just taking some time off.
The concert, which was put on for free to support South Korea’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan, drew more than 50,000 fans. Tens of thousands more fans, even without tickets, gathered in different parts of Busan to watch the concert live streams on large screens and snap photos at the city’s landmarks lit up in purple, the color of BTS.Authorities said the weekend events were expected to attract some 100,000 domestic and international visitors to the southern port city.
The “ecstatic” cries from BTS enthusiasts interrupted what might have been a restful weekend for 73-year-old Yoon Jung-sil, who lives in an apartment right next to Busan Asiad Main Stadium. She said the concert has been an “administrative trial” for her city, citing traffic jams and price-gouging in the hospitality sector.
While some residents worried the songs and cheers from the open-air stadium would be too loud, lines of fans camping at the venue entrance hoped for exactly that, to listen to the concert from outside. “Even just hearing their voice from afar means a lot for me,” said Janie Aquino, one of the desperate fans who lost the “click-war” for tickets but still traveled to the venue — from the Philippines in her case.
