Today, June 13, marks the second day of the BTS concert in Busan, and the city has turned into a massive festival venue. Despite the delays caused by operational mismanagement yesterday, the entire city is buzzing with 'ARMY' fans tracing the footsteps of BTS.

KNN reporter Choi Han-sol has the story.

A cafe in Nam-gu, Busan, run by the father of BTS member Jimin.

A long line has formed starting from the entrance.

Staff members are handing out cold water and chocolate snacks to prevent customers from suffering from dehydration.

Despite the hot weather, the ARMY fans are enjoying every moment.

[Ling Wan-ti & Ling Zhi-liu / ARMY from Taiwan: I feel so excited right now. It is my first time in Busan and my first time at Jimin's father's cafe, so I am thrilled.]

Long lines have also formed in front of the murals of BTS members at Gamcheon Culture Village.

Fans are taking photos with the members in the background and enjoying the unique charm of Busan while taking in the scenery of the hillside roads.

[Sandra & Sofia / ARMY from Peru: It is truly beautiful. The city of Busan seems very unique. Every place has its own distinct charm.]

Following the first concert yesterday, a drone show commemorating the BTS performance was held at Gwangalli Beach in Busan.

The city center, including the Busan Cinema Center where a laser show took place, was painted in purple.

Meanwhile, during yesterday's concert, a situation occurred where crowds of attendees flocked to the entrance near World Cup Boulevard, leading to a loss of control. This caused the concert to start about 1 hour and 20 minutes behind schedule, highlighting operational issues.

In response, HYBE stated that it would thoroughly inspect entry procedures and the distribution of merchandise to ensure that such congestion does not recur.

The Busan Metropolitan Government and the police have urged fans to prioritize safety, anticipating that large numbers of ARMY will continue to gather around major tourist attractions tomorrow.
