BTS concluded a two-day concert in Busan on Saturday, June 13, marking the boy band’s 13th debut anniversary with an emotional homecoming. Held at Busan Asiad Main Stadium, the final show attracted approximately 110,000 fans, with the two shows welcoming a combined audience of about 220,000 people. The performances marked BTS’ first return to the city since the “Yet To Come in Busan” concert in 2022, remembered as the group’s final concert before all seven members began their mandatory military service.

Although the show was scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., it started about 20 minutes late because of technical issues. Despite the mishap, fans still filled the stadium with chants and purple Army Bomb light sticks while waiting for BTS to appear. The group opened with performances of “Hooligan,” “Aliens,” and “Run BTS,” and reflected on the importance of returning to Busan, with Jimin expressing happiness at performing in his hometown and V recalling the memories they had created there over the years.
“I think we’ve been able to make it this far because of you,” Jin said to fans. “I’m sincerely grateful to the Army, and to the members as well.”

The setlist mixed tracks from BTS’s latest album, ARIRANG, with well-known hits from across their 13-year-long career. In addition, traditional Korean elements appeared throughout the production, including imagery inspired by ink wash paintings and choreography influenced by folk dance traditions. Fans sang loudly to tracks such as “Butter,” “Dynamite,” “Mic Drop,” and “Idol.” The evening ended with “One More Night” and “Into the Sun,” closing a show that honored both BTS’ past and future as major South Korean stars.
