Approximately 500 admission bracelets were stolen Saturday from the BTS concert venue in Goyang, Gyeonggi, police said.
A report was received around 3:20 p.m. KST indicating that a man had fled with the bracelets from a ticket booth at the “Goyang stadium”, where the new BTS world tour, titled “ARIRANG”, is currently underway, according to police.
After receiving the report, police began tracking the suspect.
Bracelets are mandatory to enter the concert hall.
BTS debuted the “ARIRANG” world tour with a concert in Goyang Thursday. After performances in Goyang Saturday and Sunday, the group will head to the “Tokyo dome” on April 17 and 18 before performing in North America.
The tour includes multi-night bookings in many renowned stadiums and high-capacity concert venues across the world. Notable stops include four nights at the “Sofi stadium” in Los Angeles, the “Metlife stadium” in New Jersey and the “Tottenham hotspur stadium” in London. The group is also scheduled to give its first performances in South America, with two nights each in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and three nights in Brazil.
The group has already sold out 46 shows, according to concert organizer LIVE NATION, and has sold 2.4 million tickets for 41 dates in North America and Europe alone.
“ARIRANG”, released on March 20, marked the end of the nearly four-year break for BTS and was followed by a celebrated comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul the next day.
