BTS Returns with the Massive 'ARIRANG' World Tour
BTS is kicking off their large-scale world tour, 'BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG', starting at Goyang Stadium from April 9–11, spanning 34 cities and 82 shows worldwide. On top of that, the Goyang concert (April 11) and Tokyo concert (April 18) will be broadcast as live viewings across approximately 3,800 screens in 80 countries and regions around the world.
The excitement among ARMY worldwide has been explosive. In particular, demand for live viewing tickets at Korean cinemas has surged among fans in Japan and other countries.
The Overseas Fan Dilemma: "I Can’t Buy Korean Cinema Tickets with a Foreign Card?"
Live viewing tickets can be booked through the websites and apps of Korea’s major multiplex chains: CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox. The problem? These Korean cinema sites do not accept foreign-issued cards for payment.
This is a particularly common issue for fans in Japan. Japanese credit cards and other internationally issued cards simply won’t work on CGV, Lotte Cinema, or Megabox. Previously, the only options were to buy tickets in person during a trip to Korea, or to ask a friend in Korea with a local payment method to help out.
But there’s a smart way to solve this problem.
