Busan Prepares for Global Fan Influx

With the Busan concerts approaching, local authorities and tourism officials are preparing for a large influx of international visitors. Transportation, lodging, and crowd-management measures are being coordinated as fans travel to the city for the performances.

The issue of accommodation pricing has also drawn national attention. Government officials have recently discussed measures aimed at preventing excessive hotel and lodging charges during major events.
