Fans Brave Cold for BTS's First Show After Hiatus
21 Mar
Summary
- Fans arrived before sunrise for a chance to see BTS.
- Many fans traveled from distant countries for the event.
- Only 22,000 tickets were released for the large concert.

Fans without tickets arrived at the venue before dawn on Saturday, seeking unobstructed views of the stage for BTS's highly anticipated return. These devoted supporters braved the cold and darkness, waiting nearly 15 hours for the concert. Many had undertaken extensive travel, journeying from faraway countries and enduring surging hotel prices.
This dedication stems from the K-pop group's first performance since concluding a long hiatus. For some, like Betty Pietraszora from Minnesota teaching in Seoul, it was an unmissable event. Thycianne Santos from Brazil, traveling abroad for the first time, saved for years to fulfill her dream of seeing BTS in person. The authorities expected a quarter of a million people for the 8 p.m. concert, with only 22,000 tickets made available.
