BTS may soon make history once again. HYBE has officially applied for permits to host a free BTS comeback concert at Seoul’s iconic Gwanghwamun Square or nearby heritage locations, aligning with the anticipated March 20 release of their fifth studio album, Arirang.
If approved, the event would welcome 15,000 to 20,000 fans, selected through a registration process, creating an intimate yet monumental celebration. The concept has been pitched as a fusion of K-pop and Korean heritage, blending BTS’s global influence with Korea’s cultural identity — a symbolic move reflecting the group’s roots and evolution.
BigHit Music has confirmed that discussions are ongoing, stating that plans are still under review. The Cultural Heritage Committee is scheduled to review the permit application on January 20, given the historical significance of the proposed venues.
This concert would mark BTS’s first performance as a complete unit since 2022, following the completion of mandatory military service by all seven members. It also serves as a prelude to what is expected to be a massive global comeback, including a world tour set to begin in April.
Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting official confirmation, with excitement building around what could be one of the most culturally significant K-pop events in recent history.
