BTS The City: Arirang Seoul is Taking Over the City! 🌆
The BTS Gwanghwamun Free Concert 2026 isn’t just a one-night thing. From March 20th to April 12th, the entire city will turn into a BTS playground with “BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL.”
Expect to see:
- Interactive media art installations near Gwanghwamun.
- Special “Arirang” themed displays across major Seoul landmarks.
- Immersive pop-ups that blend traditional Korean culture with BTS’s new music.
Being a Seoulite, I’m so proud they’re using “Arirang” as the theme. It’s the soul of Korea, and having the BTS Gwanghwamun Free Concert 2026 at the palace ruins (Woldae) is just chef’s kiss.
