Not long ago, BTS announced the official schedule and location of their free concert in Busan as part of the 2030 Busan World Expo, ' BTS Yet To Come in Busan'. The concert will be held on October 15 at a venue that can accommodate 100,000 people. As the large-scale concert will attract many tourists to Busan city, the surrounding commercial district is also expected to enjoy the positive effects of BTS's visit.

However, following the news of the concert being held, there is very unfortunate news from this event. According to various media reports, several accommodation providers in the vicinity of the event took commercial tactics to increase their prices. Launching Kbizoom, one of the strategies used by local lodging businesses is to cancel their accommodation reservations, then charge high prices for other accommodation seekers. 

As a result, people who need accommodation feel disadvantaged. Recently, concerns about accommodation prices in Busan have continued to arise in several online communities and social media as many netizens have complained about accommodation prices being set well above the average on the day of BTS's concert .

Several other netizens even pointed out that the accommodation in Busan they had booked canceled their reservation unilaterally. Here are the confessions of some netizens on Twitter social media. "My accommodation has been cancelled. They said it was due to a personal situation," complained one netizen. "They unilaterally canceled my reservation, raised the price and put it back on," replied another. 

"My accommodation was canceled for unknown reasons," said another netizen. "How can it be 950 thousand won (Rp. 10.5 million) per night on October 15?" another netizen said. "I have already lodged a complaint with Busan City." concluded one netizen. Meanwhile, in addition to the high price of accommodation around the concert venue, there are also concerns about the feasibility of the concert location. 

According to fans, the size of the road to the concert venue consists of only two narrow lanes that can cause serious traffic jams if visited by hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention the problem of inadequate parking space and public transportation which is quite far from the concert location, causing some fans to think twice about coming to the free concert.
