BTS, 100,000 people in Gwanghwamun, thank you and sorry.

BTS successfully held their free comeback concert, 'BTS Comeback Live: Arirang,' at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, celebrating their full group return after three years and nine months. The title track 'Swim' from their new album 'Arirang' immediately topped music charts upon release, and the physical album sold approximately 4 million copies on its release day, receiving an overwhelming response.

This concert held significant meaning as the first solo artist concert to take place at Gwanghwamun Square, a symbolic location of South Korea. It was executed as a large-scale project, drawing an estimated 104,000 attendees and requiring the deployment of 15,000 personnel.

During the concert, the members expressed their emotions, stating, "It is an honor to perform in the most historic place in Korea." They presented a diverse stage featuring a mix of hit songs and new tracks. RM, who had some limitations in his performance due to an ankle injury, also joined them on stage, adding to the significance of the comeback.

Throughout the concert, the members did not forget to express their "gratitude," and particularly in the latter half of the performance, Suga and Jimin repeatedly conveyed their thanks and apologies to everyone who worked hard for the concert, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, related officials, police, firefighters, and citizens.

After the concert, RM expressed his gratitude through a fan communication platform, emphasizing, "The Gwanghwamun stage was not just for the seven members of BTS, but a stage completed by the hard work of those who ensured safety, the warm understanding of the citizens, and the unwavering love of ARMY."
