Trash piles everywhere... The shameful face of 'BTS♥' ARMY [BTS in BUSAN]

Where the purple waves had swept away, only a mountain of trash remained.

BTS held 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN' over two days on the 12th and 13th at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium.

Living up to the name BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook), a massive crowd gathered near the venue, stirring up the entire city of Busan.

However, the scene outside the stadium after the festival's fervor had passed was heartbreaking.

The area around the Busan Asiad Main Stadium and the path leading to nearby subway stations looked like a dump. Discarded delivery containers from food eaten by spectators, illegally thrown plastic water bottles, picnic mats, packaging for cheering tools, and even various flyers were tangled together, causing citizens to frown. Trash piled up like mountains, emitting foul odors, and a street corner where someone had begun discarding items one by one had quietly turned into an unofficial dumping ground.

Throughout the years, what always stood out at venues where tens of thousands of fans from across borders and languages gathered was the unique, mature civic consciousness of ARMY (the fandom name), which spontaneously maintained order and cleaned up the area they occupied before and after BTS performances.

However, the disorderly scene witnessed outside the Busan performance venue has become a self-inflicted stain on the fandom's accumulated dignity. Even taking into account the severe lack of garbage collection staff and recycling infrastructure provided by the organizers, the fact that the basic rule of taking back one's own trash was not even followed leaves no room for excuse.
