BTS Busan concert accommodation price gouging triggers government action
According to Koreaboo, the city of Busan announced on January 17, 2026, the full-scale launch of a 'Price Gouging QR Report System.' This initiative allows tourists to directly report unfair hikes in lodging fees by scanning a QR code. The system aims to protect ARMY members and other visitors from exploitative business practices that often plague major events.
Protecting the K-pop fan experience
The city's tough stance comes after numerous reports of hotels canceling existing bookings only to re-list them at 3 to 5 times the original price. Busan officials stated they'll conduct on-site inspections and won't hesitate to impose administrative penalties on businesses that tarnish the city's reputation during this high-profile event.
