BTS will play two full-group concerts in Busan on June 12 and 13, putting all seven members back on the city’s biggest stage. (chosun.com) The shows are scheduled for Busan Asiad Main Stadium, and June 13 matches the group’s debut date of June 13, 2013. Busan city officials told Korea JoongAng Daily they approved the stadium rental after reviewing security and capacity for 40,000 to 50,000 spectators. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) It will be BTS’s first full-group performance in Busan in three years and eight months, since the “Yet to Come” concert there in October 2022. That 2022 show was the last time the group performed together in Busan before the enlistment period began. (chosun.com) The Busan dates come after the group’s military-service hiatus ended in June 2025. Associated Press reported that Suga’s discharge completed the return of all seven members after Jin finished in June 2024 and J-Hope in October 2024. (abc13.com) South Korea requires most able-bodied men to serve about 18 to 21 months, and BTS followed that system after a 2022 debate over whether the group should receive an exemption. The agency said in October 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties. (abc13.com) Busan is not a random stop on the schedule. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that the city is preparing for a visitor surge, inspecting accommodation prices and discussing related events as fans known as ARMY plan trips for the anniversary weekend. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) The concerts also put BTS back in a venue with recent history for the group. Chosun reported that Busan Asiad Main Stadium was the site of the October 2022 expo-bid concert, the last Busan full-group show before enlistments split the members into solo schedules and service terms. (chosun.com) Ticketing details are already partly set. Chosun reported that fan club presales are scheduled for April 29 at 8 p.m., with general sales on April 30 at 8 p.m., and that online livestreaming and live viewing are also planned. (chosun.com) Busan’s reunion weekend lands on the group’s 13th debut anniversary, in the same city where their last pre-enlistment Busan concert was held. For a band that spent 2023 through mid-2025 completing military service, that is a direct return to the place where the pause began. (chosun.com)
