The South Korean Seoul metropolitan government on Jan 22 approved K-pop megastar BTS's request to hold a comeback show in the central Gwanghwamun Square on the condition it meets safety standards, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The decision was reached at a meeting of a relevant advisory panel in response to a request from Hybe, the K-pop company behind BTS, and the group's label BigHit Music to allow the concert, "BTS 2026 Comeback Show @ Seoul", to be held in Gwanghwamun in March, the city government said.
