BTS World Tour in Busan: Hybe Apologizes for Delay

Hybe Co., the agency behind K-pop boy band BTS, issued a formal apology after the first night of the group's world tour in Busan was delayed by more than one hour.

The agency said in a notice on Weverse, 'We deeply apologize to all audience that came to watch the 'Arirang' world tour, for the inconvenience caused by the delay in the start of the performance.'

The agency pledged to bolster overall on-site operations to prevent recurrences during the second concert set to take place in the port city of Busan.

BTS kicked off its world tour 'Arirang' in Busan on Friday, with the concert scheduled to start at 7 p.m. but was pushed back by around 75 minutes to 8:15 p.m.
