As BTS prepares for their Gwanghwamun performance, stars are expressing their support.<\/p>\n

On March 20, comedian Park Myung-soo mentioned on his KBS Cool FM radio show, “Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show,” that TV ratings might drop the following day as those not attending would likely watch the BTS concert from home. “Even I would watch it,” he remarked.<\/p>\n

He continued, “It’s an opportunity for many to see BTS in person. With the members reuniting after their military service, many people are eagerly anticipating it.” He added, “I didn’t contact Jin to avoid burdening him. I hope he does well. I wish everyone a joyful time with BTS after a long while.”<\/p>\n

Actress Kim Gyu-ri offered fans a glimpse of BTS’s rehearsal. On March 20, she shared on her social media account, “I went out for an errand in Seochon and briefly watched the BTS Gwanghwamun concert rehearsal. The people on stage weren’t BTS. Many citizens were already there. I laughed a lot because of an adorable child watching nearby,” along with a photo from Gwanghwamun.<\/p>\n

Kim Gyu-ri continued, “The security presence is massive. I hope for a successful and safe concert tomorrow. Everyone is excited. Gwanghwamun is typically a popular spot for foreign visitors, but it’s even more so today. I’m so proud of BTS!!”<\/p>\n

Kim Dong-wan, a veteran artist in the industry, also commented on BTS’s Gwanghwamun performance. On March 21, he posted on his social media account, “It’s already hard to catch a cab in Jongno. It’s a bit strange yet familiar that the city is moving because of our artists’ stage. This scene BTS created reminds me of the 1988 Olympics or the 2002 World Cup,” adding, “I hope today passes without any incidents.”<\/p>\n

Broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu shared, “Finally, the day is here. BTS’s concert will grace the spring. It is anticipated that around 300,000 people might gather. I hope it concludes safely without any accidents!!!”<\/p>\n

On March 21, BTS will hold ‘BTS The Comeback Live: ARIRANG’ near Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul, at 8 PM.<\/p>\n

The event marks their first full group performance in approximately three years and five months, following ‘Yet to Come in Busan’ in October 2022. BTS will publicly debut new song performances, including the title track ‘SWIM’.<\/p>\n

The event celebrates the release of their 5th album, ‘ARIRANG’, and will be available for worldwide viewing on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
