BTS Busan concert UPDATE: Korean city refuses to foot bill; ARMY spews venom, 'Busan begged for this baby' [View Tweets]
BTS' fame is such that there is no doubt that the K-Pop band is by far not only one of the most popular music groups in today's time, but also among the most iconic of all time, with Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, Jungkook, V, Suga and RM (those are the BTS members for the uninitiated) enjoying fame, fans and impact that cuts across every ethnic, cultural and geographical demographic known to us. So, it comes as no surprise that ARMY (that's what BTS fans the world over refer to themselves as) can't get enough of BTS and make it a point to keep up to date with every little development. Here's an update now about the BTS Busan concert for every BTS ARMY member.
Busan refusing to foot bill for BTS concert
As per Hollywood news reports, it has come to light that the city of Busan has backed away from financially supporting the BTS concert. Korean news site claims that business and cultural officials have estimated that the figure to front the concert at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on 15th October would be about 7 billion won, which was supposed to be split between HYBE (the company that manages BTS) and Busan city administrators, but the latter are now having second thoughts. Understandably, this has angered ARMY no end as it seems Busan city wanted the concert in a bid to host the 2030 World Expo. Check out the comments below, where they're spewing venom:
Think of the concert like a baby right. A baby that busan begged for. HYBE has been doing all this work baby proofing and Busan hasn't really done anything. HYBE is like "damn can you pay for something at least?" And Busan said, "it's your baby."

The irony is that this concert is exposing how busan is incapable of hosting that expo. They cant even organize a concert. They passed the responsibility to bh, so what exactly are they doing?! They cant even manage the hotels overpricing issue. ?

It's "BTS Expo 2022" now army. Not Busan. Let it be known. They don't deserve the clout if they don't provide fairness.
