HYBE Gifts ARMYs With “THE CITY” Project In Las Vegas For Immersive Fan Experience

First launched at BTS’ ‘LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF [THE FINAL]‘ concert in Seoul in October 2019, the ‘MAP & WAIT TIMES’ has been appreciated by fans as it allowed for a more convenient and pleasant experience by providing information as to waiting time and easier way to receive merchandises.

As such, HYBE brought back the service to Las Vegas to provide a more convenient fan experience at the “urban concert playpark”, ‘THE CITY’.

HYBE said, “We strive to utilize IT as a way of expanding and improving fan experience. The ‘MAP & WAIT TIMES’ has been developed in order for all fan activities to be available through Weverse. We will have the platform, which provides ways to communicate and enjoy content online, evolved to be utilized at the offline settings as well.”

‘THE CITY’ is HYBE’s project to create an “urban concert playpark”, merging various fan experiences from shopping and entertainment to hospitality. ‘THE CITY’ will be providing various attractions such as ‘BTS POP-UP : PERMISSION TO DANCE in Las Vegas’, photo exhibition ‘BEHIND THE STAGE : PERMISSION TO DANCE’ and restaurant ‘CAFÉ IN THE CITY’ through April 17.
