[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As the BTS group's concert to support the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo, ‘BTS Yet to Come in Busan’ (BTS in BUSAN), approaches in one day, landmarks across Busan are being illuminated in purple.

BTS will hold the concert to support the 2030 Busan World Expo bid on the 15th at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium. This event is free of charge, serving as a global festival where people worldwide can join, while also promoting the culture of Busan and South Korea to contribute to the successful bid for the Busan World Expo.

A live play that overcomes the limitations of in-person performances will also be provided. Audiences can enjoy ‘BTS Yet to Come in Busan’ with vivid on-site sensations through large screens installed at the outdoor parking lot of Busan Port International Passenger Terminal and a special stage in Haeundae.

‘BTS Yet to Come in Busan’ aligns with BTS’s album ‘Proof,’ which chronicles the history of BTS proving their value through music. The setlist features key points such as legendary stages, performances, and music videos that brought BTS to their current status, allowing not only fans but also general audiences to sing along and enjoy BTS’s representative songs.

The night of Busan is being dyed in purple, symbolizing BTS, ahead of the BTS concert wishing for the hosting of the 2030 Busan Expo. Busan City announced on the 11th that until the 17th, purple landscape lighting will be turned on at major city landmarks and outdoor billboards at night to create "Borahae Busan." "Borahae" (I PURPLE YOU) is a term used by BTS members and fans instead of saying "I love you."

As a concert wishing for the successful bid of the 2030 Busan World Expo, it also embodies the symbolism of Busan. Audience members watching the performance are expected to naturally see and feel Busan, fostering interest in the 2030 Busan World Expo bid.

‘BTS Yet to Come in Busan’ can be enjoyed through TV broadcasts on JTBC and Japan’s TBS Channel 1, as well as online live streaming on multiple platforms such as Weverse, Zepeto, and Naver Now. It is expected that people of all regions and generations will enjoy and share the experience of BTS’s concert together.

The global fandom life platform Weverse supports a total of eight languages and subtitles, including Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Thai. The live time machine feature and real-time chat function enhance convenience for global viewers and add to the enjoyment of the performance.

‘BTS Yet to Come in Busan’ is heating up the entire city of Busan with the addition of ‘THE CITY’ project. ‘THE CITY’ is a so-called ‘urban concert play park’ where various events are held throughout the city before and after the concert. Since its start on the 5th, exhibitions, official merchandise stores, and multimedia shows have transformed Busan into a massive festival ground.
