Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul has been switched to "BTS Mode" ahead of the group BTS's comeback performance.

BTS will hold a free performance "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG)" to commemorate the release of its fifth regular album at 8 p.m. on the 21st around Gwanghwamun Square.

On the afternoon of the 18th, Gwanghwamun Square was lively with citizens and fans watching the stage installation process.

In the center of the square, a stage installation work that will be the core of the performance is underway. Workers are speeding up their final preparations by mobilizing various equipment to install stage lighting and sound facilities.

The main stage was located behind the statue of King Sejong. Beyond that, the panoramic view of Gwanghwamun, high-rise buildings, and performance facilities are combined to complete an impressive stage production. The exotic scenery where tradition and modernity coexist is enough to attract the attention of fans and tourists at home and abroad.

As if to prove the scale of the performance, the roads around Gwanghwamun Square have already been partially controlled. Large banners and signs containing road control instructions along with the 'BTS' logo were installed throughout the site.

The notice stipulates specific control sections and periods along with phrases such as "traffic of crosswalks in the square will be temporarily restricted due to the installation of stages and auditoriums in the square" and "We apologize for the inconvenience caused."

The business district around Gwanghwamun is also busy ahead of the performance. Nearby restaurants and shops are ready to welcome fans. At the entrance of the square, a purple banner with the phrase "BTS and Welcome to You" is hung. In addition, a purple signboard reading "Welcome ARMY" was set up at one restaurant, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Meanwhile, BTS will release its fifth full-length album "Arirang" at 1 p.m. on the 20th, its first full album in three years and nine months. Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of Hive, was in charge of the general production of Shinbo. The members dealt with the team's identity and universal feelings that many people can relate to in the new album.

BTS will hold a free return performance "BTS Comeback Live: Arirang" at Gwanghwamun Square on the 21st, the day after the release of the new report. Afterwards, he will attend the "Spotify x BTS: Swimside" event in New York on the 23rd (local time) and perform a new song.
