BTS are back with their new studio album, “ARIRANG,” and this time, they’re turning South Korea’s capital into a giant immersive theme park. Running from March 20 to April 12, “BTS THE CITY ARIRANG – SEOUL” brings music and local culture together. Whether you’re already visiting Seoul or planning a special trip to make the pilgrimage, this limited event, which runs for around three weeks, truly goes all out for fans.

🇰🇷 Which landmarks should you visit for BTS THE CITY ARIRANG in Seoul?

Seoul has become a large-scale cultural experience space for the occasion. The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the large media facade light show at the historic Sungnyemun Gate. The combination of this traditional landmark and modern media art is stunning, and it’s a great spot for photos at night. N Seoul Tower also has a special lighting event, wrapping Seoul’s nighttime skyline in BTS atmosphere. If you’re in Cheonggyecheon or Yongsan during the day, you may also come across a range of art installations along the streets.

Where can you watch the BTS drone light show at Seoul’s Han River parks?

If you enjoy outdoor spaces, be sure to add the Han River parks to your itinerary. The music fountain at Ttukseom Hangang Park will host a special drone light show to light up the night sky, and the visuals won’t disappoint. The Moonlight Rainbow Fountain at Banpo Bridge, another classic attraction, is also joining the celebration. With familiar music and light-and-sound effects, sitting by the river and enjoying the view in the cool spring night breeze is one of the most soothing moments of any fan trip.

What ARMY-only spaces are at DDP and Yeouido Hangang Park?

For those hoping to connect with fans from around the world, the project has also created some great interactive spaces. “ARMY MADANG” at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and the “Love Song Lounge” in the event plaza at Yeouido Hangang Park are both places not to miss. Relax, enjoy music from the new album, and soak up the special atmosphere – it’s a great place to hang out with friends and take photos.

BTS have prepared so many in-person events for ARMY during this comeback that fans are sure to be touched!
