5 HACKS

To up your BOF game like a local

1 Line up early. Hundreds of K-Pop fans attend the concert, so the lines can get really crazy. If you want to make sure you catch the sets of your favorite artists, be safe and line up early.

2 Gear up with warm clothes. October nights in Busan can get quite chilly in an outdoor stadium-especially if your body is used to tropical weather. Some stalls even sold blankets right outside the stadium! Save some cash and wear your coziest jacket.

3 Charge up your phone and bring a power bank. This is for those times you might want to take pictures and videos-and you definitely will.

4 Power up with some snacks and water or eat a heavy meal ahead. Last year, they did not sell food inside the venue--you’ll have to walk out of the stadium to find the food stalls. The concert stretches on from before dinner to a little after.

5 Brush up on K-pop artists and their repertoire in the lineup. Trust me, you’ll regret not knowing their songs while everyone else is having a blast singing and dancing along.
