SEOUL — K-pop supergroup BTS’ three live concerts in Seoul have attracted 2.46 million fans both on and offline, the group’s agency said Monday.

The “BTS Permission To Dance On Stage – Seoul” shows were held at Seoul Olympic Stadium on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights, with the first and third-night shows streamed live online and the second-night concert available for “live-viewing” at movie theaters across the world.
