BTS Celebrates 13th Anniversary with Thousands of Fans in Busan
BTS concluded their two-day concert series at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on their 13th anniversary, reaching around 220,000 fans in total as the group returned to Busan for the first time since 2022.
BTS completed their two-day concert series in Busan on their 13th debut anniversary. Approximately 110,000 fans attended the final night at Busan Asiad Main Stadium, bringing the total audience over the two nights to around 220,000.
The concerts stood out not only as a stop on the group's ongoing "Arirang" world tour but also as an emotional homecoming for the members. BTS last visited Busan in 2022 for the "Yet To Come in Busan" performance, remembered as the group's final concert before the seven members began their mandatory military service.
The start of the second night was delayed by about 20 minutes. The first night also experienced a delay of one hour and 40 minutes due to audience guidance. During the wait, the members' names were announced throughout the stadium, and purple light sticks waved in unison.
The concert began with masked performers and torches. BTS then took the stage performing "Hooligan," "Aliens," and "Run BTS."
RM called out to the crowd, "Busan, raise your voices!" Jimin expressed his happiness to meet and sing with fans in his hometown. V reminisced about the memories BTS has built in Busan over the years.
RM said, "June 13 only comes once," encouraging fans to enjoy this 13th anniversary together. Throughout the night, the group blended past hits with recent songs on the same stage.
Tracks like "They don’t know ’bout us," "Like Animals," "Fake Love," "Swim," "Merry Go Round," and "2.0" were part of the setlist. Korean motifs featured prominently in the stage design, including reinterpreted traditional masks, visuals reminiscent of ink wash paintings, taegeuk colors, and choreography evoking "Ganggangsullae."
One highlight was the first-ever Korean performance of "Normal," which J-Hope said was specially prepared for the Busan concerts. The entire venue sang along during "Mic Drop," "Butter," "Dynamite," and "Idol."
In their closing remarks, the members reflected on their 13-year journey and thanked their fans. Jin acknowledged the fans' significant role in reaching this milestone. Jungkook thanked fans for their time and wished for BTS and ARMY to stay together for many years. Jimin mentioned that some of his former teachers were present at the concert and expressed gratitude to both them and the fans.
The concert ended with "One More Night" and "Into the Sun," marking a night that celebrated BTS’s recent era and their return to Busan, where one chapter closed and a new one began.
