Apr 22, 2026
Why did BTS choose Gwanghwamun for their comeback β of all the places in Seoul?

It wasn't random. Gwanghwamun carries centuries of Korean history, culture, and meaning. And BTS knew exactly what they were doing.
In May's first issue of Monthly Stories, hosts 'Hyunwoo and Sumin' break down the story behind the stage β from the history of Gwanghwamun to the cultural symbolism BTS tapped into. It's the kind of Korean culture content you won't find in a textbook.
