The possibility of a comeback performance for BTS at Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung seems to be increasing. On January 20, the National Heritage Agency announced a conditional approval for the requested usage of these locations by HYBE. The condition includes forming a subcommittee to assess specific details regarding the cultural asset impact. However, final confirmation will depend on additional approvals from the Seoul city government and related departments. Furthermore, the performance areas include Gyeongbokgung's Geunjeongmun and Heungnyeemun, the Gwanghwamun square, and Sungnyemun. BTS is set to release their fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG,' on March 20, marking their first complete comeback in 3 years and 9 months since the anthology album 'Proof' in 2022.
The news of this conditional approval is expected to bring great joy to BTS's fanbase. Performing at historic sites like Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung holds significant meaning for both the artist and the fans. The upcoming album titled 'ARIRANG' is anticipated to blend traditional Korean culture with contemporary music, marking a unique experience for everyone involved.

If this concert comes to fruition, it could open new doors for showcasing the harmony between traditional and modern culture in Korea. Fans are eagerly awaiting this special moment and showing their support.
