The venue of BTS' "2030 Busan Expo Bidding Concert" to be held in Busan on October 15 has been changed from Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun to Busan Asiad Main Stadium.

Hive and Big Hit Music announced in a notice on the 2nd that they have changed the venue for the concert "BTS in BUSAN" to Asiad Main Stadium from the special stage of daylight.

Hive, a BTS agency, said it has decided to change the venue to protect the "performance purpose of hosting the Busan Expo" due to growing concerns over the venue. Hive said, "We selected Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, as the venue for the performance by reviewing various places in Busan in accordance with the purpose of the performance.

Based on cooperation with various organizations such as Busan City, the police, the fire department, and the Korea Railroad Corporation, they were carefully preparing to prevent any inconvenience to the audience. However, we decided that it is most important not to dilute the purpose by focusing attention on the purpose of the performance, which is the origin of the 2030 Busan Expo," he explained the background of the change in the venue.

Hive also said that although the location will be changed, various linked programs that have been prepared to save the existing purpose will be operated as planned. Hive said, "Live play to watch real-time performances on a large screen will be held at the outdoor parking lot of the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal. In addition, he said he is planning various events to continue the enthusiasm for the performance and spread the festive atmosphere throughout Busan.

The former Korean glass site in Ilgwang-eup, Gijang-gun, which was previously considered a concert venue, has only one access road, raising various operational problems such as narrow access roads. Asiad Main Stadium, located on World Cup Boulevard in Yeonje-gu, Busan, has previously been performed by BTS. The Asiad Main Stadium has 53,769 seats.
