Background
The "BTS: Yet To Come in Busan" concert that was held on October 15, 2022, was their contribution to promoting Busan's bid for World Expo 2030.[1] The free concert was a huge success and held a lot of sentimental value to fans, given that their mandatory enlistment for the military was announced two days after the concert.[2]
The film was first announced on December 20, 2022, with tickets going on sale on January 10 and 11.[3] The trailer for the film was released on January 16, 2023.[4] The film was officially released on February 1, 2023, in 110 countries.[5]
