HYBE has signed MOU with Busan Metropolitan City to bring the World Expo 2030 to the city.
According to the announced memorandum, the BTS members will serve as ambassadors, hold a global concert in Busan, organize activities to appeal to Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) members, and personally introduce the proposed site to the BIE Enquiry Missions.

This will be a great opportunity to contribute to further development of K-Culture as well as its local pop cultures in Busan.”
