Global K-pop superstars BTS have sparked massive excitement among fans after reports suggested that the group may be planning a free concert at Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square. While the news has created a buzz across social media and fan communities worldwide, the band’s management has clarified that discussions are still underway and no official confirmation has been made yet.

BTS to have a free concert


According to reports, BTS’s agency has applied for permission to use some of Seoul’s most iconic and historically significant locations, including Gwanghwamun Square, for a large-scale public performance. The potential concert is believed to be linked to BTS’s highly anticipated full-group comeback, which marks their first major release together in several years following individual activities and military service commitments.



Responding to the growing speculation, the company issued a formal statement, urging fans to remain patient. “We are currently discussing it. Once the venue and schedule are finalised, we will make an official announcement,” a representative said, making it clear that no concrete plans have been locked in yet. The cautious response has done little to dampen the enthusiasm of BTS’s global fanbase, ARMY, who continue to eagerly await confirmation.

If approved, the free concert is expected to follow a limited application or registration process due to crowd control and safety concerns, given the location’s capacity and significance. Gwanghwamun Square, situated near major cultural landmarks, has hosted several historic national events, and a BTS performance there would be a major cultural moment for South Korea.

Agency to still confirm

The possibility of a free open-air concert has been widely praised by fans, who see it as a meaningful way for BTS to reconnect with the public and celebrate their return as a group. Many have taken to social media to express hopes that the event would allow fans from different backgrounds to attend, making it an inclusive and memorable experience.

This potential concert is also said to be part of a larger comeback rollout that could include new music releases, promotional events and a world tour expected to begin later in the year. Industry observers note that a performance at such a landmark location would further cement BTS’s cultural impact, not just in South Korea but globally.

For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement, but the mere possibility of a free BTS concert has already turned the spotlight firmly on Gwanghwamun Square.
