Overview
- The group is holding three Arirang tour shows at Morumbi on Oct. 28, Oct. 30 and Oct. 31, marking BTS’s return to live performance after a multi-year military hiatus.
- Procon‑SP, the national consumer agency Senacon and the Ministério Público de São Paulo formally notified Live Nation and other organisers after fans flagged that South American shows use four LED panels instead of the 12 used on other legs of the tour.
- Live Nation responded that the reduced screen and stage format was planned for the South American production and was driven by logistical and scheduling limits, and the company has been asked to supply technical and ticketing documents to regulators.
- A separate legal pressure remains in the U.S., where three songwriters filed a July lawsuit alleging BTS’s track “Swim” copies an unpublished composition; HYBE/Big Hit has denied the claim and said it will contest the case.
- Local hotels saw a 50% jump in searches for the concert period, boosting short‑term tourism but raising risks of ticket fraud and scalping as organisers and authorities work to resolve production and disclosure questions.
