There's a good chance that BTS may hold the largest performance in Busan history with an attendance of over 100,000 people.

The global superstars were appointed as ambassadors for the 2030 Busan World Expo (Expo) earlier this year, and they will return as a whole for a big event. 

On August 8, it was confirmed through an official in the performance industry that the Expo Bidding Committee is preparing an extra-large temporary outdoor performance hall that can accommodate 100,000 spectators. In fact, it is known that HYBE officials conducted on-site due diligence at Busan Port North Port Chinsu Park and Samrak Ecological Park. Samnak Ecological Park has been the site of large-scale music performances such as rock festivals.


The main stadium of the 2002 Asian Games and the main stadium of Busan Sajik Sports Complex is also being considered as possible venues for the event. Busan Asiad Main Stadium, located in Geoje-dong, Yeonje-gu, has 54,000 seats, so it can accommodate 100,000 people if ground seats are provided.

An official said, "Ahead of the concert, details such as the size and location are being discussed quickly, but the specific schedule is still confidential."

Meanwhile, BTS has been garnering global popularity and held concerts at the Los Angeles SoFi Stadium in November of last year. The group also held their concerts in Seoul in March. This was followed by performances in April at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the largest tourist city in the US.

BTS, which is about to hold its biggest global concert ever in Busan, has been consistently proving its popularity on the Billboard main album chart until recently as well with the collaborative track "Bad Decisions" with Benny Blanco and Snoop Dogg.
