BTS’s Busan concert has sparked major fury among netizens after issues occurred before the show even started.
As part of the ARIRANG tour, BTS are having two shows in Busan.
The show was due to start at 7 PM (KST), but as the time got nearer, fans shared videos that thousands of fans were still waiting to enter the venue, with only minutes until the concert was meant to begin.
