BTS Busan concert experience: 5 hotels go all out to welcome ARMYs with goodies

The BTS Busan concert, to be held on Saturday, October 15, at the Asiad Main Stadium, has colored the city of Busan in purple. Purple became BTS’ signature color after V coined the word Borahae, meaning "I Purple You," to denote the everlasting love and trust between BTS and ARMYs at the group’s third Muster concert.

Busan is one of the bidders hoping to host the World Expo 2030, and their ambassador for this expedition is none other than the nation’s pride, BTS. The BTS Busan concert is a free concert being held to support this mission.

To celebrate the concert, the Busan government announced that multiple landmarks such as the Gwangan Bridge, Busan City Hall, and Busan Tower would all turn purple. Gimhae International airport has huge banners welcoming ARMYs from all over the world, and extra flights have been scheduled just for the concert.

The monetary profit being earned by the city is currently through the roof. Almost all hotels in Busan are booked to capacity, especially the ones who have a tie-up with the concert and are hosting special packages for the concert-going ARMYs. Let’s take a look at five such hotels offering special amenities for the BTS Busan concert.

The demand was so high that even hotels that were not part of the package started hosting their own mini BTS related events to attract ARMYs. The manager of Paradise Hotel’s marketing team went on record to say that even pre-pandemic they’ve not had as great a sale as they are currently seeing due to BTS’ impact.
