Over on Threads, user sj.bees recounted her meeting with Salonga, saying that the actress attended the concert alone while carrying her bag of freebies, and even took the “very crowded subway” home afterwards.
“If someone like Lea Salonga can go through the proper ticketing process, wait under the sun while queuing and even be turned away by staff because of the chaotic entry process, then why can’t others?” wrote the user.
The first night of BTS’ Busan concert faced several issues, including delays at entry points and a shortage of complimentary gifts, resulting in the show starting more than an hour late.
Following the concert, South Korean entertainment giant Hybe, BTS’ management company, issued an apology on fan platform Weverse and stated that they would “thoroughly review and improve all aspects of [their] on-site operations”.
