BTS has caught fans off-guard by addressing the issue of price gouging related to their concert head-on.

During their latest livestream, the BTS members were excitedly discussing their upcoming concerts with fans when RM brought up the topic of accommodations in Busan, hiking up their prices around the group’s concert. He expressed his disapproval of it, followed by Jimin and Jungkook. RM regretted the fact that the group couldn’t interfere in this matter directly.

🐨 I wanted to take this moment and address something… the price hike in Busan accommodations. I hope they don't do that
🐥 It's so upsetting, like we're going there for such a nice event
🐰 It pissed me off so much
🐨 And there's nothing we can do about it too..

Jimin and Jungkook, as the two Busan natives of the group, went ahead to strongly condemn the price gouging.

🐨 Busan boys, please say something about it
🐥 ARGHHTTRRR But seriously,
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
🐯 I would've said something if it was in Daegu, so the Busan guys, say something..
🐰 STOP IT
🐥 I know it's money, but this is too much!

The BTS members were referring to the controversy that occurred earlier this year after they announced their world tour, where accommodations in Busan were seen cranking up their prices abnormally around the concert dates.

Busan being the home town of not one but two members and yet its local officials haven't cracked down on this price gauging is diabolical. https://t.co/K2f7y0uTcS
