The group BTS is going to hold a free concert in Busan next month to pray for the Busan Expo.
According to the music and performance industry, it is known that about 7 billion won is needed for this BTS performance.
It is said that the host/organizer pays the full cost of a general performance. The host/organizer of this performance is Big Hit Music Hive, a BTS agency.
The 2030 Busan World Expo Bidding Committee and the city of Busan were named as sponsors.
As the host and organizer of the performance is Hive, the bid committee does not support the cost separately, and the city of Busan also provides a venue as a sponsoring organization, and only takes charge of administrative support necessary for the event, such as transportation and accommodation, but there is no mention of the cost.
It means that BTS pays directly to promote Busan and opens a performance.
It's a free concert, so there's no revenue from ticket sales.
It is expected that some companies will go all-out to host the fair, and sponsorship is expected, but it is known that nothing has been concreted yet.
