The world is buzzing about the BTS concert at Gwanghwamun Square on March 21.
Many rumors are circulating on Twitter/X claiming "Ticketing has started" or "It's 100% Raffle."

Stop! Do not click suspicious links. As of January 25, there is NO official announcement regarding the application method.

As a developer based in Seoul, I have summarized the confirmed Facts vs. Rumors.

✅ THE FACTS (Confirmed)

  • Date: March 21, 2026 (Sat)
  • Cost: Free (No paid tickets)
  • Capacity: Limited to approx. 15,000 ~ 20,000 people.
  • Method: "Pre-application" is confirmed, but the specific platform/method is UNDER REVIEW (TBD).

❌ THE RUMORS (Not Confirmed)

  • "It is 100% Weverse Raffle?" 👉 (Likely, but NOT official yet)
  • "The notice will drop in early Feb?" 👉 (Just a guess)
  • "First-come, First-served?" 👉 (Unlikely for safety, but possible for some sections)

*Warning: If you see a "Sign-up Link" right now, it is likely a scam.


📢 What Should International ARMY Do Now?

Since nothing is confirmed, you need to prepare for ALL possibilities (Raffle or Click-war).

1. Install 'Weverse' App & Turn Notifications ON
The official notice will likely drop here first. Check the [Notice] tab daily.

2. Be Ready for "First-Come, First-Served"
Even if the main concert is a raffle, cancelled tickets or extra sections might open on a "fastest fingers first" basis. Also, the upcoming April Stadium Tour will definitely be a server war.

🔭 Plan B: Best "Free Viewing Spots" (Outside the Fence)

With only 15,000 spots, getting a ticket is harder than winning the lottery. If you are in Seoul but fail to get a ticket, head to these spots:

1. National Museum of Korean Contemporary History (8F Roof Garden)
Offers a panoramic view of Gwanghwamun Square. (Bring binoculars!)
2. Sejong Center for the Performing Arts (Stairs)
Located to the side of the stage. You might not see clearly, but the Sound will be perfect.

I will update this post immediately once the official notice is released.
