Earlier this week, exorbitant hotel prices in Busan were revealed. Hotels in Busan now cost $3,730 (₩5.00 million) per night. Now it seems a whole new Pandora’s box has been opened. ARMYs have taken to Twitter to criticize the Busan government's lack of farsight. From the location of the concert to the washroom facilities to the road that leads to the concert location, BTS fans have taken over Twitter. BTS fans are worried that the authorities don’t have the basic blueprint in place for a concert of this global scale, and the concert is a month and a half away. bora (slow)@modooborahaeYonhap News reports Busan has invited over 3500 guests (BIE selection committee members, their families and other guests etc) to the BTS concert in October.

However, an eagle-eyed fan noticed that the concert would be held at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal Outdoor Parking Lot. Fans are upset that the Busan government chose the aforementioned location for Bangtan's upcoming global concert considering that 100,000 concert-goers are expected to attend and it is going to be a big event which will attract worldwide media attention. ARMYs are also wondering why the Asiad stadium was not considered for the concert as it was built especially for the 2002 Asian Games and would have been the perfect venue for Bangtan's Busan concert. slow 물결 ᴾʳᵒᵒᶠ@moolgyul0613From a K ARMY friend:Karmys are torn about this bc the City of Busan is offering a concert by BTS, a supergroup who easily sells out stadiums, without a suitable venue.

We just want the City prepare a proper venue with proper infrastructure first, and then offer the show. However, the current venue poses a lot of problems. For starters, there are major infrastructural and transportation problems. ARMYs pointed out that the concert only has two exits marked by the dots. Fans will be required to cross the river to get to the nearest train station. The government of Busan has also promised to mobilize public transport and shorten waiting periods between each train. Despite that, it is difficult for 100,000 fans to vacate the location quickly and if not handled properly, it might lead to a stampede-like situation. zici@chizikook_KMEDIA [REPORTER]BTS' global Busan concert '[Yet To Come] in Busan' will be held on Saturday, October 15th at 6pm kst (16.00 wib)- The show lasts for an hour and a half- Venue for the performance will be decided as the former Korean glass site in Ilgwang-myeon, Gijang-gun +922265KMEDIA [REPORTER]BTS' global Busan concert '[Yet To Come] in Busan' will be held on Saturday, October 15th at 6pm kst (16.00 wib)- The show lasts for an hour and a half- Venue for the performance will be decided as the former Korean glass site in Ilgwang-myeon, Gijang-gun + https://t.co/nFTwfSBsCo The area surrounding the concert does not have enough restaurants or recreational facilities which will pose a problem for ARMYs who are from far off places. Furthermore, ARMYs criticized the Busan government for poor crowd management. The government announced that they planned to begin entry to the venue from 9 am. With the concert starting at 6 pm in the evening and no recreational facilities, fans are wondering how they will kill nine hours. Also, with the venue having only two exit spots, vacating the venue will be a mammoth task. The government also announced that they will be installing ten portable restrooms at the venue. Bangtan's Wembley concert had 2,700 washrooms for 90,000 ARMYs and yet there were long queues outside the bathrooms. ARMYs are wondering how the Busan government will manage 100,000 fans and their washroom needs. S.M. HORNE ⁱˢ ᴾʳᵒᵒᶠ⁷@SMHorne1I knew that the Korean government and the local Busan government were not up to speed on how to throw concert, let alone a BTS concert, but this single road can't accommodate 10K people let alone 100k!

ARMYs believe the mayor of Busan, Park Hyung-jun, who owns land in the area is doing this for his personal benefit and ARMYs are upset that Bangtan is being used as bait for the same. BTS ARMYs are upset with the concert arrangement Check out the reactions below ARMYs are criticizing the Busan government for their lack of planning and research considering the concert is in 45 odd days and a lot needs to be taken care of. Fans are citing BTS' iconic Wembley concert in London as a benchmark. The Wembley concert was attended by 90,000 fans and received praised for being well-managed and efficient. It remains one of the most loved BTS concerts of all time. ARMYs believe BTS' upcoming Busan concert has the potential to be an all-time great as well, if only planned and managed well.
