This edition was produced to commemorate and support BTS’s 2030 Busan World Expo Hosting Support Concert ‘Yet To Come in BUSAN’ and to provide various information about Busan and the BTS concert to domestic and international fan club ARMY and tourists visiting Busan to watch the performance.
A total of 50,000 copies will be published, including 40,000 copies of the English newspaper and 10,000 copies of the Japanese newspaper.
The special edition is produced as a 4-page tabloid so that ARMY and tourists can easily carry it and keep it as a memento.
The main contents include ▲ checklist before watching the performance ▲ tips for using Dongbaek Taxi ▲ one-day subway pass ▲ public free Wi-Fi ▲ tourist interpretation guide phone numbers, and other useful information needed for attending the concert.
The special edition also includes ‘BTS Busan Sacred Sites,’ which are of great interest to ARMY and tourists. It introduces tours of Mandeok-dong, the hometown of Jungkook; Dadaepo Beach, visited by Jimin from Hoedong-dong, Geumjeong-gu; Busan Museum of Art, visited by RM; Busan Citizens Park, where V left a photo proof; and information on Busan restaurants frequented by BTS members.

The city plans to distribute the foreign language special editions in advance to local accommodations and tourist spots, and on the day of the concert, October 15, they will be distributed around the Asiad Main Stadium, Busan Port North Port where Live Play is held, and near the special stage at Haeundae Beach.
