BTS Arirang Tour Sparks Hotel Price Surge
BTS, a popular boy band, is coming back after a long break.
They are going on a world tour called the Arirang World Tour, starting in April 2024.
Before the tour, they will release a new album called Arirang.
Fans are excited, but hotel prices near the concert venues have gone up a lot.
Some hotels are charging a huge amount of money for just two nights.
The president of South Korea said this is not fair and warned people not to take advantage of the situation.
Fans are also upset about the high ticket prices and other issues with the tour.

BTS tour organizers are also facing backlash over ticket pricing, seating plans, and schedules.
