SEOUL \u2013 Gift bags handed out to those attending BTS\u2019 Busan concerts have quickly appeared on secondhand trading platforms, prompting anger among fans after some concertgoers failed to receive them.<\/p>\n
Posts offering the bags for resale on platforms such as Karrot and Bungaejangter, as well as on social media, appeared soon after the BTS \u201cWorld Tour Arirang\u201d concerts at Busan Asiad Main Stadium held Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
The bags were given to fans as welcome gifts during the concerts.<\/p>\n
Packaged in a transparent bag, the set included shower towels, an umbrella, Laneige sheet masks, \u201c7\u201d and \u201c613\u201d perfumes designed by BTS, photo cards and a handwritten card from the members. A cushion foundation from makeup brand TirTir was also included in the bags handed out Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, we prepared the gifts with all our hearts,\u201d Jungkook wrote on the group\u2019s live-viewing platform before Friday\u2019s concert. \u201cEvery member opened their wallet to choose the presents one by one. We hope everyone gets the gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Within hours, however, some of the gift bags were listed for resale. Prices ranged from around 140,000 won to as high as 500,000 won ($92 to $330). Most listings were priced between 200,000 won and 250,000 won.<\/p>\n
Some fans did not receive their bags at Friday\u2019s concert due to shortages that delayed entry and pushed the concert back by more than an hour.<\/p>\n
Hybe officials later said the gifts would be delivered to those who did not receive them at the venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should be ashamed. Not everyone got the gift bag. What are you doing?\u201d one user wrote on X in response to a resale post.<\/p>\n
Another user wrote, \u201cThis is ridiculous. How could you sell a gift your boyfriend gave you?\u201d<\/p>\n
The backlash reflects how BTS fans often treat such gifts not only as merchandise, but as personal tokens from the artists \u2014 making resale feel, to many fans, like a breach of trust rather than a simple secondhand transaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 16, 2026 SEOUL \u2013 Gift bags handed out to those attending BTS\u2019 Busan concerts have quickly appeared…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":495523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-495522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
