□ The city of Busan has unveiled the full lineup for the 'BOF Big Concert' as part of the 2024 Busan One Asia Festival (“BOF 2024”). The headliners include 'g.o.d.', 'Super Junior-D&E', 'ZEROBASEONE', 'BOYNEXTDOOR', 'n.SSign', and more
○ Celebrating its 8th edition this year, the BOF stands as the premier Asian concert, combining Busan's diverse K-culture and K-pop content, and is hosted by the Busan Metropolitan City and organized by the Busan Tourism Organization.
○ While traditionally held in October, this year's festival will take place in June. This decision comes in response to multiple requests from Busan's tourism industry citing difficulties for BOF attendees in booking flights and securing accommodations during the second half of the year, when major festivals in Busan are traditionally held. Additionally, the change aims to secure a differentiated festival date.
□ BOF 2024 will be held over two days, from June 8th to 9th. On the 8th, the 'BOF Big Concert', featuring globally renowned K-Pop artists, will take place at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium, while the 'Park Concert' for Busan citizens will be held on the 9th at Hwamyeong Ecological Park."
