HYBE Cine Fest in Korea: BTS Screening Dates and the October 15 Ticket Exception

Korean BTS screenings are listed for October 25 and 31 at 3:45 p.m. KST. Check their booking route separately from the festival’s general Korean sale.

Korean fans planning HYBE CINE FEST have two booking checks to make this week. As of October 11, the festival’s Korean notice says its October 15, 10 a.m. KST ticket opening excludes BTS live viewings. The separate BTS schedule lists delayed screenings in Korea on October 25 and October 31, both at 3:45 p.m. KST. Check those listings independently rather than assume every title shares the general sale. Official festival site · Official BTS schedule

This is a Korea-specific planning guide. For the broader festival program and Tokyo pop-up arrangements, see K-Life’s earlier festival report.

Put the Korean screening in your calendar

The Buenos Aires broadcast is listed for Sunday, October 25, at 3:45 p.m. KST. The São Paulo broadcast follows on Saturday, October 31, at the same Korean time. Both entries are labeled delayed on the official territory schedule. The source concerts take place on October 24 and October 30 in South America. BTS live-viewing information

A calendar entry should therefore use the Korean screening date shown on the reservation. Simply copying the overseas concert date could put an otherwise carefully planned cinema trip on the wrong day. Recheck the final cinema listing before paying, particularly when a shared poster or group-chat screenshot was made for another country.

These are cinema broadcasts. Choose between the two source concerts as you would between two separate outings: decide which date works, compare the available branches, then coordinate with friends. Keep the exact screening title in the group chat so everyone books the same performance.

Use the correct ticket route

For BTS, start with the official live-viewing ticket finder and look for Korea’s available listings. The festival site’s exclusion means October 15 should not be treated as a verified BTS onsale date. It does not, by itself, tell you whether a particular cinema already has seats available.

For the other festival screenings, the current Korea banner points to Lotte Cinema’s event information. That is the route to revisit for the October 15 opening. The program includes concert films from SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN, alongside HYBE CHEERING PARTY. Choose the specific title before comparing showtimes. Official festival program

Before checkout, read the cinema branch, date, start time, format, total price and cancellation conditions together. Confirm any auditorium guidance about light sticks or cheering, rather than carrying expectations from an arena concert into a cinema.

Leave time for the World Tower stop

HYBE names Lotte Cinema World Tower as Seoul’s Special Location PLUS from October 24 to 31. Its notice describes additional fan experiences and merchandise at special locations, with operating details subject to change. HYBE’s announcement

If those activities are part of the outing, allow time around the film and check the venue’s current access arrangements. The general announcement does not establish what an individual screening ticket includes.

The useful preparation now is straightforward: check BTS separately, save the Korean screening time, and set an October 15 reminder for the other titles. The official BTS trailer below offers a preview while the booking page remains the place to settle the practical details.
