BTS is Preparing a Massive Concert in Busan, With 100,000 Fans Expected to Attend

BTS will hold a spectacular concert in Busan for two days, from June 12 to 13, 2026, with an estimated attendance of up to 100,000 fans, including 50,000 ARMYs from abroad. The Busan government and city have prepared various security and transportation measures to welcome this mass arrival.

A total of 3,043 security personnel will be deployed around the Busan Asiad Main Stadium and other event locations, such as Busan Pier 1, Gwangalli Beach, and Haeundae Beach. The security personnel involved include city officials, district office workers, police, firefighters, and public agency employees. 

They will focus on high-traffic areas and accident-prone areas, and will install security barriers to prevent unwanted incidents. Because the concert will take place during a warm day, organizers will also provide drinking water and shade to prevent heat-related issues. 

This is a crucial step to ensure the safety of fans throughout the event. Public transportation will also be expanded to accommodate fans. Busan City plans to add 116 subway trips and 28 light rail trips from 9:30 p.m. on the day of the concert until the last train on June 13, 2026. 

Additionally, city buses will operate more frequently from 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. after the concert. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport will also add 36 temporary overnight bus trips after 10:00 p.m. from June 12 to 14, 2026. 

Additional KTX and ITX trains will also operate between Busan and other regions such as Ulsan, Daegu, and Seoul. South Gyeongsang Province will also increase intercity bus services between Busan and surrounding areas.

Airports and ports are also preparing for the arrival of fans from abroad. Incheon International Airport, Gimhae International Airport, and Busan Port are expected to be busier than usual. 

The Ministry of Justice has implemented special immigration measures from June 10 to 14 to help foreign visitors enter Korea more smoothly. At Incheon Airport, the number of immigration officers will be increased by 88% compared to normal.

This concert marks BTS's first appearance in Busan in nearly four years, since 2022. In addition to the concert, BTS will also hold the “BTS THE CITY ARIRANG – BUSAN” project throughout the city to celebrate this event and their debut anniversary.
