"Can I enter from 9 a.m.?" ... Busan City Celebrates 'Blame' on BTS Concert Measures

 

Amid the controversy surrounding the Busan concert of the group BTS, such as soaring accommodation costs and traffic congestion, the city of Busan has been criticized for its countermeasures.

BTS will be holding the BTS 'Yet To Come' in BUSAN concert on the 15th of next month. The show will take place on a special stage of 100,000 people.

As BTS concerts progress, it is expected to attract a large number of fans to the Busan area. Accordingly, it is expected that the surrounding awards will enjoy the "BTS effect".


On the other hand, as many as 100,000 people flock to the venue, traffic disruptions are inevitable, and the cost of accommodation in the Eastern Mountain Circle has soared to 950,000 won per night, and the unilateral cancellation of existing reservations continues.

In this regard, on 28 March, the city of Busan stated, "On 24 March, we held the first working meeting with the Busan Police Department and the Busan Oxygen Prevention and Safety Headquarters, and intensively examined the current issues related to the BTS performance."

"We also plan to massively increase the number of urban railways and city buses on the day of the concert, put in shuttle buses, completely block vehicle traffic on the narrow roads from the East Sea South Line to the venue and allow all visitors to travel on foot for about 15 minutes."

However, even with these measures, the people who enjoy these measures are pouring out criticism and concerns, such as "Are you saying that you will leave until the next day", "There are no amenities near the concert venue, but what about this", "I am concerned about the number of people who are 100,000 people", and "We need a more realistic solution".
