Taiwanese devotees of K-pop group BTS are seeking divine intervention from Yue Lao, the Taoist god of love and marriage, to obtain concert tickets. Fans believe that invoking the god of matchmaking is an effective strategy to secure seats for the group's highly anticipated performances.
Recently, a gathering of K-pop fans, predominantly BTS supporters, congregated at Taipei's Bangka Lungshan Temple. They arranged an altar table laden with offerings, including purple snacks—the group's signature color—along with fan merchandise, concert seat layouts, and personal wish lists.
This spiritual practice, which gained traction on social media platforms a few years ago, stems from the belief that Yue Lao's red thread of fate can connect destined individuals. In this context, fans hope the god will facilitate their connection to concert seats.
The global sensation BTS last performed in Taiwan with all members in 2018. The group is set to embark on a world tour in early 2026, with three scheduled concerts in Kaohsiung on November 19, 21, and 22, 2026.
