If the in-person component is canceled, your ticket will be fully refunded and additional details will be provided regarding the changes to the event,” the agency said.

Meanwhile, BTS’ fan club manager announced the rules for those watching the concert in-person in Seoul.

“Cheering loudly, yelling, chanting, and standing up during ‘BTS Permission to Dance on Stage-Seoul’ is strictly prohibited according to government guidelines. Instead, we will be having a fan event using clappers,” according to the notice.

The announcement added, “There will be a separate notice with the details of the event by mid March. The front of the clappers will feature a slogan that is made with a message from ARMY to BTS. Send us a message you would like BTS to see. We will select one to use as the slogan on the clappers. All fans are eligible to send in messages for the clappers.”

The clappers with the slogan will be given to fans entering the Olympic Stadium on the day of the concert.

“Individual events that have not been agreed to in advance will be prohibited to maintain order and safety of all visitors within the venue,” the notice added.
