The Korea Herald and Herald Business published special weekend print editions Saturday, aiming to reach fans who are in Seoul for BTS’ first full-group concert in nearly four years.

The limited-edition newspapers feature the group’s seven members, highlights from their newly released album, details about the concert setup at Gwanghwamun Square, and interviews with fans traveling from around the world.

The newspapers typically do not print on Saturdays, but the single-run editions were produced as collectibles.

The performance, scheduled for 8 p.m. at Gwanghwamun Square, comes a day after BTS dropped its fifth studio album, Arirang. The event marks the septet’s highly anticipated return to the stage following the completion of their mandatory military service.

Police estimate that about 260,000 people could gather in the area throughout the day, including approximately 22,000 ticket holders who will be admitted to the primary concert zone.
