Ahead of the comeback performance of the group BTS (BTS), fans at home and abroad are already visiting Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.
BTS will hold "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG)" around Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on the 21st. On the 18th, three days before the performance, domestic and foreign ARMYs (fandom names) are gathering at the site to watch the stage installation process and enjoy the atmosphere in advance.
Argentine female fans came to Korea to see the BTS performance and said, "I came to see where the stage would be set up. I'm here to see where I can see as closely as possible," he said. He continued, "I came to see how the districts were divided. I'm trying to plan ahead to find the best location to see BTS on Saturday," he said.
Faced with a huge stage in the square, he couldn't hide his expectations. "The stage looks really huge," he said. "I'm really excited. I can't even sleep well these days," he said.
He also said that many emotions are intersecting while waiting for this performance. He said, "It's a mixture of a lot of emotions: anxiety, happiness, depression, nostalgia. There's a lot going on, he said. "I'm so happy to be here."
Fans of all ages and nationalities continued to visit the site. A Japanese man in his 60s also said he visited Korea to see the stage in BTS. Watching the stage being set up, he said, "It's really nice. I think it will be a great stage."
Meanwhile, BTS will release its fifth full-length album "Arirang" at 1 p.m. on the 20th. It's the first album in three years and nine months as a whole. Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk was in charge of the general production of Shinbo, and the members dealt with the team's identity and universal emotions in the new album.
BTS will hold a return performance at Gwanghwamun Square on the 21st, the day after the release of the new song, and attend the "Spotify x BTS: Swimside" event in New York on the 23rd (local time) to perform a new song.
