HYBE, the agency behind BTS, issued a formal apology on Saturday after the first night of the group's "Arirang" world tour concerts in Busan was delayed by more than one hour.

"We deeply apologize to all audience members who came to watch the 'Arirang' world tour for the inconvenience caused by the delay in the start of [Friday's] performance," the agency said in a notice on Weverse, the fan community platform that it owns.

The agency pledged to bolster overall on-site operations to prevent recurrences during the second concert set to take place in the port city of Busan later in the day.

The Friday show was scheduled to start at 7 p.m. but was pushed back by around 75 minutes to 8:15 p.m. due to the delayed entry process of tens of thousands of fans.
