As anticipation for BTS’s upcoming world tour continues to soar, fans planning to attend the group’s South Korean concerts are facing an unexpected challenge. Several hotels in Busan have reportedly begun cancelling previously confirmed reservations made by fans, only to relist the same rooms at significantly higher prices. The issue has sparked widespread frustration among ARMY, many of whom had booked accommodation months in advance.
The problem surfaced shortly after the world tour dates were officially announced, with Busan set to host two major BTS concerts in June 2026. Fans from across South Korea and around the world rushed to secure hotel rooms near the venue, leading to an immediate surge in demand. However, many later discovered that their confirmed bookings had been abruptly cancelled by hotels, often without detailed explanations.
