“BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG” concert is taking place at the Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on March 21. Travelers who are planning to attend the concert or visit the nearby areas are advised to prepare in advance for traffic control around the venue. In particular, as Gwanghwamun Square is a place of historical significance, concert attendees are advised to refrain from setting up tents, waiting for extended periods starting the night before the concert, causing disturbances, and littering.
For a safe and memorable experience for everyone, please take note of the following guidelines:
