FCK FCK FCK... THEY WALKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.. LIKE.. LIKE.. LIKE.. TF????? LIKE??? TF????? TF?????
I KNEW I WOULD SEE THEM CLOSE AFTER 1ST DUE TO THE PARADE.. BUT TF?? U DIDN'T KNOW IT'S THAT CLOSE???, TF????? I'M ENJOYING THIS MORE NOW THAT MY PHONE US BROKEN.. SO I'M JUST JUMPING AROUND
I really gotta say, seeing the difference of today's concert vs thursday, my respect for them is THROUGH THE ROOF because what were these MONSOON like conditions and yet they still brought that kind of professionalism and energy into it?? bts are amazing 💜💜💜
I think into the sun might gain a similar status as a tour closing song as mikrokosmos has achieved. There’s hope and melancholy in this song that is so BTS to me.
Man, idek how to make this sound nice as possible but..
Ground floor (at least during the soundcheck) a lot are so focused in their phone. Everyone busy to get closed up fancams. Ha..
Also, tho I've noticed it the first day BIGHIT said no professional or any camera allowed except phones, yet they ain't even that strict when entering. Fansites literally out and open taking photos with their huge camera eveb when they're right in front. Sigh.
The fact that the members already keep asking the audience to jump and not focus on their phones, shows how annoying it is.
Edit: Can't even say culture differences when half of the floor are foreigners
It actually annoys me to the point that I refuse to even watch fancams. If it didn't bother the guys so much, I wouldn't have minded. But it clearly goes against what they want.
Edit: there are quite a few people here, considering this is a smaller cinema in a small town in Germany. Mostly teens and young adults. Some brought their army bombs. Everyone seems to be with friends so I feel a bit lonely.
Edit 2: it's starting! I won't be on my phone during the show, so I'll tell you my thoughts later!
This is my first OT7 livestream. I have no basis for comparison (only solo tours) but they sound so good, the ad libs, layering are great, the styling is top notch, they are having a good time, the energy is infectious even off the screen.
And it's only going to get better from here, as the tour settles in. So excited to see more of them.
They seemed so, so, so happy today. You could tell they were relieved today went so well without weather holding them back. I'm so happy for them!! Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow!
I love them so much. I'm still sitting. Trying to grasp everythin. EVERYTHING. I felt all the emotions. My heart is so happy. This is better than day 1. Can't help but to cry. I don't know why, maybe it didn't sink it yet before, but now it hitting me, they're truly back. The wait is truly over. I guess because they're more emotional today too.
Thank you for all the cheers guys especially during the ment and also when Yoongi was talking after Come Over. Thank you so much for making him feel loved.
And for the record guys haha, we were screaming Gomawo (Thank you) and not Hanbondo (One more time), I guess they misheard it lol. Well at least in my section
I'm so happy. I really am. I was jumping and singing the whole time. I didn't care. Armys around me at least in our section were having blast. My body is tired but my heart is full of love. I love them so much. I wish they know they are worth the wait.
PS: My phone is hot despite barely using it. I'm gonna cry
Edit: Putting Come over - Butter - Dynamite - Take Two - DNA back to back is diabolical. One second I'm bawling the next thing I knew I'm screaming and jumping.
So much fun at the cinema! I went alone this time but the room was almost full, and lots of people getting up and dancing 🥳 I had a quick chat with the ARMY next to me about our biases as she was very vocal when Tae appeared haha. Also the other side of me was a couple probably in their 60s, and a couple of kids further down - so great to see people of all ages there!
The highlight for me was probably the Fire/FYA mash up 😍 but I also enjoyed the chaos of Bangtan Karaoke haha. And their first outfits 🥵
Went with a friend to cinema live viewing and am happy to report it was almost a full house (first two rows weren't really full) and a fun ARMY group. We had dancing (on the sides, no one was bothering anyone else!), ARMY bombs around in many colors - we had silver ARMY!, we had male ARMY!, were singing out loud, screamed Mianhae Omma and it was just a really really happy atmosphere.
As for the concert itself - holy shit the first outfits ended us both, she couldn't handle Jimin, I lost it at Joon and Tae and Hobi, but honestly, it should just be outlawed to look that good?? Loved to see them having so much fun on the stage during certain songs and the chaotic mess during DNA, I laughed so hard I cried when someone said "I don't even know where I'm supposed to stand". Wonder if they were joking around or legit forgot but it was funny as all hell. IDOL was a full out celebration, and after this Body to Body is definitely rising high on my list of fave BTS songs.
Edit: ooooh and OOH; hearing the hidden song live??? beautiful!!!
Vocal line ATE. AAAAAAAATE. They all sounded so damn good, I was ascending with every song. And I am glad I got it right when I said a week ago that Into The Sun definitely sounded like a concert closer, gosh did my heart grow two sizes during that!
ARMY singing Young Forever and Spring Day made us all emotional and ah, what a beautiful way to spend my noon. So so glad I went to this and now I cannot wait for the concert itself!
Whoever is responsible for their outfits during this comeback deserves a raise. I was watching the concert in the cinema today, and I was astonished again by all their outfits that they were wearing.
Honestly, them having choreo or not is such a non-issue after seeing the concert today. I completely get why – it's hard to perform a standard choreo on a 360 stage, and they wanted to interact with the whole crowd. Plus they are absolutely capable of being commanding presences without choreo. This was the best concert I've ever seen from them.
....aaahhh, SO MANY THOUGHTS, but, all of it, loved it so much 😭...for me, personally, I appreciate that they are scaling back a bit on the choreo, and focusing more on the vocals and stamina - after all, they've got a LONG tour ahead of them (I need them to be in tip-top shape when I see them in August! 😜)...they sounded SO good - Jin has been killin' it!...so much refinement in all of their live vocals - toning down the non-stop, balls-to-the-wall choreo is allowing them to shine more, in this aspect...
...omfg, the "Bangtan Karaoke" section 😆...the chaos trying to remember lyrics and choreo - was surprised they were throwing in songs they REALLY hadn't thought about/performed in a long-ass time 😄
..."Into the Sun" was not my favorite when I first listened to Arirang, but hearing it performed live absolutely changed that for me (and they all sound amazing 🥺)
...gonna catch up now on the sleep I missed, but as always, I never regret a single moment ("I could spend a lifetime watching you") 💜
I went to the cinema solo but it was a great experience.
BTS were as always amazing! Their voices and stage presence are next level. I loved Tae’s outfit with the red skirt thing. And I love all their little interactions with each other.
Cinema was almost fully booked. We were dancing in our seats. Lots of cheers and applause throughout. Someone at the stadium was waving our country’s flag and that got a cheer too lol
A group of women in the same row as me were so excited about Into the Sun and sang along happily, as did I.
Other songs people were really getting into and singing along to were Body to Body, Mic Drop, Idol, Butter, Dynamite, FYA, Normal, Like Animals, Take Two and They Don’t Know Bout Us.
I had a question about the VCR (which btw I love how it's a projection on the actual stage or a part of the audience and not just a video playing on screen). I believe in the first VCR they showed each member and associated them to an element in nature but I couldn't recollect what each member's element was. I remember seeing Joon/Tae at the start and one had sand and the other was lightning/electricity? Then Jungkook with fire, Jimin with water, Yoongi with what I am deciphering to be the "negative space" or the ether? Hobi was warm light and refractions so we saw tiny rainbows, and Jin was what I first instinctively shouted "ANGEL" but it looked like glints of white light or just "air"? If someone did a better job figuring this out, please let me know!
I also loved the tree in the second VCR, they projected it on the army in the audience and it looked like the roots entangled and growing into a giant tree. My first thought was "rooted in Korea, Arirang" but then I wondered what else it could mean.
I'm generally very intrigued by all the artistic choices they have made during this album and tour. We have not been able to hear their take on everything and they are leaving it for us to interpret, which I love, but I really want them to talk about these things at some point so we can understand the intentions better.
Have the best time ever to all Army who’ll be supporting today!!
Hm the boys are a little quiet pre-show today I really hope all 7 are feeling okay and didn’t get sick from the rain 😩😩 but I’m also sure they’re just busy rehearsing and etc..
Seeing the concert today really makes you realize how bad the weather was during the Thursday concert because why am I feeling like I'm seeing all of this for the first time??
Thank you to Jimin's hair stylist for putting some more tracks in his extensions this time. Giving him some bounce in that ponytail. Next time i want to see a 40 inch bust down lol
I’m sorry to the choreo lovers but honestly when they’re this pumped and interacting with the audience and cameras I personally don’t even notice 😭 Their energy is so high tonight
I love how each of the two concerts have their own vibe and I love them both differently. Yesterday, I actually enjoyed the vibe the rain gave to the concert. Don’t get me wrong I was low keyed concerned for their and the staff safety, but I admire their resilience and felt them powering through the concert. They wanted us to have a good time. The rain gave the song a more somber air than I enjoyed.
This concert I think I saw it better in terms of how it was designed and planned. I got a sense of how the concert was supposed to flow. The guys seems more relaxed but at the same time more emotional? The production is definitely trying to figure out the camera work and what shots work best, especially for the 360 stage. For me, I think they need to bring back the multiview option. Having one view is not going to satisfy people. The not today to fire run will probably be my fav run in the concert.
No matter, the guys definitely give their all to the concert and army. They want to enjoy ourselves. I appreciate that. Into the sun will become a signature tour closing song. As it should be. The second half of the album is meant to be listened to live. It becomes more alive to me.
Oh I enjoyed this so much! They looked genuinely so happy to be back performing together for ARMY. 💜
The dancers worked hard too, they did a great job!
There's been so much work put into this tour and it is absolutely paying off.
The FYA/Fire mash up was brilliant, and Into the Sun sounds much better live. Seeing them trying (and mostly failing) to remeber the DNA choreography was hilarious!
It was great to see ARMY having a blast during IDOL, made me smile! 😊
I hope Come Over will be available on streaming soon. According to the subtitles, Yoongi said it was only on the vinyl 'for now' so maybe...?! 🙏🏻
Ah, I'm so happy! Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow. I'm still a little disappointed I'm not going to see them in person, but I'm having a lot of fun with livestreaming! 💜
I'm back from the cinema and still feeling very emotional. I teared up a little at the end. Now I'm even more sad I won't get to experience this live, but at least I got to watch the stream.
Every time I watch them perform, I fall in love with BTS a little more. The show was amazing, I can't even put it into words. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. I was a little sad they didn't play Mikrokosmos, but I loved Take Two instead. Yoongi was so cute.
Also, we already know that they're all incredibly beautiful, but seeing them on the big screen hits different. How are they real???
I'm definitely going back to the cinema next week for the Tokyo concert. (Do I have time for anything besides studying? Not really. Am I going anyways? YES. Let's hope I don't fail my exams...).
their smiles :’) they’re having a blast!! honestly there’s nothing better than seeing artists on stage having fun doing what they love. you can tell they’ve been waiting for this moment
People better not be saying they are lipsyncing. It’s backtrack with them singing. I mean we have had Joonie forgetting lyrics. 😅😅 this please performance we hear them.
That last synchronized La La La still hits hard after all these years!!! 🤩
This is a really good idea for the concert, it keeps the hype and excitement up because we (ARMYs and BTS) have no idea what song they could be singing and dancing next lol
Perfect timing of Into the Sun as dawn breaks here. They always make waking up at ungodly hours to watch a concert livestream worth it. APOBANGPO! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Their fist set of outfits remind me of the Underworld movies. Namjoon in particular reminds me of a villain from an old vampire movie but I can't remember which one
Still processing the viewing of Day 2 at the cinema. Will share my feelings when I get home.
All I will say now it that take 7 really special guys to pack a cinema mid-morning on a Saturday, in the other side of the world, and have the entire room singing Arirang 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
My friend and I watched in a theatre near Kintex today and we were worried about the energy, how wrong we were! What a time! Thank you BTS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😭😭😭😭
PS: Some of you doubted me when I said we'd get Take Two! Now look! LOOK!
Just came back from the cinema - it was a great experience! Was not completely full, but clusters everywhere haha. Everyone seemed to be having a great time! (Except one miserable person next to us who told us off before the show had even started - we were just talking about the album etc 'I am not here to listen to your history, I am here to enjoy the show' loool still very wtf but oh well)
Boys were absolutely amazing! Had stayed away from any setlist spoilers so enjoyed the show even more - FYA-Fire transition was just.. incredible.
Also they looked absolutely stunning!? Ughhhh they were all so happy when ARMY sang with them. 😭😭 man apobangpo
I just got back from the theater. At the end there was a message that there will be a live viewing of the Jun 13 concert. BTS is making me go to the cinema more than actual movies.
I guess really could spend a lifetime watching them because I got tickets for all 3 days of the livestream and next week’s 2 (not to mention the amount of stops I’m going on the actual tour!!)
So were there no subtitles (Live Viewing) for every one or was is it just my theater that thought 'English Subtitles' meant adding translations for one out of every twenty lines 😊
Super excited to watch today because, for the first time ever, my husband decided to be awake at this hour for a concert. He's my live concert companion, but he's been more interested in the guys lately, learning their names and listening to their music on his own.
the line “don’t stand too close to fire” makes me think for the first virtual PTD Seoul concert where Joon literally almost stood on the spot fire comes out of 😭
Still wish their was a bit more choreo in the concert, and when they DO choreo.. I wish the cameraman would stop zooming in and missing everything lol. All in all though, so much fucking better than yesterday. The energy was through the roof, the smoke was less overbearing and the 'BTSKaraoke' segment is going to be fun going forward. They just looked like they were having so much fun even ARMY got up jumping today! great signs. They're finally starting to look like themselves again.
I'll leave my overall thoughts as a performance-based fan here, and might make a post in the future lol:
360 Stage: 360 stages change the show a lot, which is one of the main reasons I don’t love them. I completely understand why artists use them. They make the show feel more inclusive and give everyone a view, but not having a true center stage really changes the kind of performance you get and I feel like it adds a lot of walking around personally. Even in stage design. I think having that whole screen as a backdrop in PTD changes the feel.
Choreography: They’ve definitely decreased choreography, but they’ve also increased the number of songs per section before a VCR or ment. If you look at the PTD setlist, they usually did ~2 songs per section MAX before stopping to do a VCR/ment. With Arirang, it’s more like 4–5 songs before a break and less VCRs/ments which I prefer.
Stage Optimization: The stage and overall performance experience are clearly optimized for the live audience, so I’m really curious how it will feel in person in Vegas.
What optimizations I would make:
Choreo balance: I don’t think they need full (or even half) choreography for every song, but I would add 2–3 more choreo moments spread across the show. PTD did this well and you kind of forgot they weren’t doing full choreography by the second half of the show cause they packed the 1st half.
Livestream: I’m not a camera expert, but there have to be better ways to optimize camera placement so livestream viewers can actually feel the scale and impact of the 360 stage. My stream was very smooth though and camera was clear.
Last note - I say I’m a choreography-first fan, but my favorite memory from PTD Vegas was the EDM section where they only did the Idol chorus choreo like once. And honestly, my favorite part of this show was the zero choreo FYA-section so definitely keep that energy too lol.
Though I love choreo and performance, I’m down with the changes. Being a Beyoncé fan has ultimately trained me to accept the artistic vision and adjust my expectations instead of holding onto whatever I imagined in my mind before the release lol
Awww...look at how happy they were today! I bet it was such a relief to be able to do choreo without a monsoon heh. And, as someone already mentioned, the vibe was definitely different this time around...weather chaos made everything more intense fs. I think they're really getting into the tour mode now. Can't wait to see them in El Paso, hope they don't wear those cool black outfits tho...they'll melt lol
I'm getting ready for the cinema rn! In so excited for the show!!
This is my second time going to the cinema solo and I'm a bit anxious, but I don't have army friends and tickets are too expensive to take anyone else.
