On the 21st, when BTS's comeback concert is being held, standing sections at the Gwanghwamun Square venue in Seoul began admitting attendees following the reserved seats.
From 5 p.m. that day, "ARMY (BTS fandom)" members have been entering the standing sections set up along Sejong-daero toward City Hall in sequence. Many waited from the morning around the safety management line (fence) to secure spots close to the screens.
When one side of the fence opened for entry, ARMY quickly lined up. They moved according to staff instructions to "do not run or push."
Considering the large crowd, safety guidance videos featuring BTS are being shown continuously. BTS members asked, "When moving, do not look at your smartphone, and please never push the person in front of you."
According to Seoul's real-time urban data, as of 5 p.m. that day, the floating population around the venue was between 28,000 and 30,000. The congestion level, calculated based on population per area, is at a "spacious" level. However, from 6 p.m., it is expected to rise to "moderate" or "slightly crowded."
At 8 p.m. that day, BTS will present the "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" performance around Gwanghwamun Square. It is the first time in about 3 years and 9 months that they will take the stage as a full group.
