Temples, churches and universities in Busan are offering free or heavily discounted accommodations to BTS fans traveling to the city for the band's concerts next month after some hotels and guesthouses were found to be charging significantly more than their normal rates during the event.
As of Thursday, 15 institutions are taking part, offering approximately 100 rooms for 415 guests on the nights of the “Arirang” world tour concerts on June 12 and 13.
