As excitement builds for the highly anticipated comeback concert by BTS, authorities in Seoul have released important information for fans planning to attend the large-scale event at Gwanghwamun Square. The concert, scheduled for March 21, 2026, is expected to attract a massive crowd both inside and around the venue.

The area around Gwanghwamun will be surrounded by security fencing, and 31 designated entry gates will be installed to control the flow of attendees entering the concert site. These measures aim to reduce congestion and maintain order during the event.
Only a limited number of fans with official tickets will be allowed into the main performance zone. However, authorities expect many additional visitors to gather in surrounding areas to experience the atmosphere of the concert. Large crowds are anticipated because the performance marks BTS’s first major full-group appearance in several years, following the members’ completion of South Korea’s mandatory military service.
Organizers have also advised fans to arrive early and carefully follow all entry instructions. Because the concert will be held in an open public space in central Seoul, transportation and pedestrian movement around the venue may experience disruptions throughout the day. Authorities are therefore encouraging attendees to use public transportation whenever possible and follow guidance from on-site staff.
The event will also have a strong global audience. The concert, titled “BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang,” will be streamed internationally through Netflix, allowing fans around the world to watch the performance in real time.

Authorities emphasize that safety remains the top priority for the event. Officials are working closely with security teams, emergency services, and event organizers to manage the large crowd and ensure a safe environment for fans and visitors.
With the stage set in the heart of Seoul, the comeback concert is expected to become one of the most significant K-pop events of the year, bringing together thousands of fans to celebrate the long-awaited return of BTS.
