Regarding praying World Expo BTS Busan Concert Controversy Hybe's official position is as follows:
Hello everyone, here is Hybe.
will be held on October 15 at the "2030 Busan World Expo , the main stadium of the Asian Games of , to hold the following position.
(hereinafter referred to as "Busan Concert") on October 15.
First of all, for media consultation on the required fees for this Busan concert, our company has stated that a considerable fee will be incurred, and most of this fee will be sponsored by corporate sponsors, online streaming advertising, The City Project comes with careers, etc. In addition, the shortcomings that cannot be supplemented by such financial resources are also decided to be directly borne by the company. BTS will also perform this concert without additional performance fees, which is to reflect the idea of artists who have expressed their desire to perform for free with many fans in the past.
Despite this, the controversy surrounding the Busan concert is still occurring, which expresses regret and specifically expresses the company's ideas.
Hybe and BTS will participate in national activities, More importantly, we pay more attention to valuable results than fees
Our company and BTS have participated in national activities of all sizes since the past. They have always participated in the will to contribute to the country and society, and have not put the cost issue first. We understand that the cost of the event is difficult to fully use the government's financial resources. In addition, government support is the source of taxes for the people, so we have always been very cautious in supporting the government.
The same is true for the cost of this Busan concert. The government, local autonomous groups and bidding committees not only provide concert venues, but also invest funds within a limited budget to support the concert. In addition, our company believes that the resources of governments, local autonomous groups and enterprises that have worked hard to host the 2030 Busan World Expo should not be due to Busan singing. If BTS takes the cost as the most important factor in participating in national activities in the past, it is difficult to achieve so many results in major events for our country and the world. In order to achieve high-level results in activities participated in BTS, our company has focused its energy on this process and is satisfied with the results achieved with BTS, so it is full of meaning.
However, one thing our company cannot give up. That is the stage level of BTS, and we cannot compromise on the stage level just because the world's top artists participate in national activities. The same is true for this Busan concert. We are not only on the Busan Asian Games stage where BTS stands, but also in various accompanying activities to ensure high water We will do our best to create the best results. Only by creating the excellent concerts we are looking forward to and creating the expected value for the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo is our goal.
Hybe and BTS are proud of the contributions made by the country.
Every year, BTS receive invitations to participate in their respective projects not only from South Korea, but also from many countries and agencies in the world. In order to be loyal to the original role of artists, although most of these requests cannot be agreed, when the country or the world really has important activities, BTS will strive to contribute through active participation and create its own important value.
can participate in and contribute to the major activities of South Korea. It is an important opportunity for BTS or our company. Because becoming a world-class super IP and growing into a company with a major base in three countries started with the Republic of Korea, this is the unchanging foundation. BTS and Hybe believe that our efforts to contribute to the world for South Korea, for the sake of the world, or for South Korea, are proud of being a national of the Republic of Korea.
Hybe and BTS will be committed to the bid for the Busan 2030 Busan World Expo.
2030 Busan World Expo brings hundreds of trillions of won economic effects to Busan and South Korea, and its scale is larger than the World Cup. The phonograph or TV that has become the foundation of popular music, such as the first place to debut in human society, is also the World Expo.Because it is a place that includes inventions and new technologies that constitute modern civilization, there is no need to consider why the 2030 Busan World Expo is important to South Korea and why we should work hard to apply for the expo.
Moreover, in the bidding competition for the 2030 Busan World Expo, South Korea is called "Underdog". South Korea has had a history of overcoming disadvantages and achieving good results since ancient times. BTS is an example of this history of overcoming and growing. In order to show a wonderful reversal of the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo, everyone should work together, and BTS and our company have also decided to help.
Hybe and BTS hope to build Busan into a place that attracts the world through concerts.
During concerts and offline events held in the Asian Games in Busan and the Busan area, more than 60,000 fans from many countries including South Korea and people related to the 2030 World Expo will gather together. In addition, more than 150 times the number of guests visiting Busan will be broadcast live on the concert streaming to the world. More than tens of millions of fans and related people will see and feel Busan.
In this short period of time, the Busan concert will receive the attention of countless people, and you will also see Busan, which is a candidate for the 2030 World Expo. Should they be made a potential supporter of the 2030 World Expo? If you make thorough preparations to make Busan famous through this big scene for the rest of the time, the Busan concert will contribute to the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo. With this alone, BTS and our department can be proud.
is less than 4 weeks away from the Busan concert. We will work with BTS to make even a little contribution to the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo. Although there may be big and small stumbling blocks in the process, we and BTS will do their best to make the Busan concert a cornerstone for the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo. I hope the people can also provide care and support.
