Major landmarks in Seoul will turn purple next month in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the K-pop superband BTS since its debut. According to music industry sources, Hype, the K-pop powerhouse behind the group, and the Seoul metropolitan government are currently having a joint discussion on holding various events to commemorate the anniversary, reports Yonhap.

Creating a special event place, called 'ARMY Road', after the name of the band's global fandom, at the city's major landmarks is also one of the plans in discussion, the sources said. City officials expect the events will help boost Seoul's tourism industry, which has been battered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
