KRToronto City Council has approved a proposal to temporarily rename part of Yonge Street in North York as 'BTS Boulevard' to commemorate the upcoming BTS 'Arirang' world tour concerts in August. The renaming, proposed by Councillor Lily Cheng, will run from August 21 to September 23 and coincides with the Korean Harvest Festival. The motion also requests Mayor Olivia Chow to declare August 22-23 as 'BTS Weekend,' encouraging fans to wear purple. The city must obtain permission from Big Hit Music to use BTS' intellectual property for the signage. Commemorative street signs will be auctioned to support local charities.
