If you're like us and you're still on a BTS-high, check out some of the most talked-about moments during the two-day concert that every ARMY is begging for more.
RM or Kim Namjoon set the stage for his solo performance by performing “Intro: Persona.” The BTS leader entered the stage on a podium that sent every ARMY to comment, “Kim Namjoon for President.”
Every single ARMY was bias-wrecked when main rapper Suga or Min Yoongi flaunted his good looks by showcasing his forehead and undercut throughout the two-hour performance. It also didn't help that he performed “Shadow” so charismatically on stage. All we can say is, Yoongi stans, how are you doing?
Jimin made audiences swoon with his solo contemporary dance performance in 'Black Swan.' His brilliant dance moves were further elevated when his performance transitioned from a live execution to a taped production.
The production team behind the online concert did not disappoint as they created breathtaking visuals using augmented reality in the group's performances for “Dope,” “DNA,” “UGH!” and so much more.
Singer Taehyung melted viewers' hearts when performing the song “Inner Child” after seeing a mini-TaeTae riding a carousel in the background.
BTS's main dancer J-Hope surprised fans by showing off three tattoos during their “ON” performance. While it is unclear if the tattoos are real, the message behind the inks is in true Hobi fashion as it says the words “Hope” and “Fiat Lux,” which fans have decoded as “Let there be light.”
Can we all agree that we absolutely loved Jin as The Little Prince in his “Moon” solo performance? The amazing set combined with the 3D graphics definitely made his set out of this world. Permission to calling him universally handsome now?
Please don't ask us. We're as amazed and as dumbstruck as you are.
For a moment, we forgot that this Jeon Jungkook is the maknae (youngest member) of the group.
We all cried after seeing Jimin weep on stage after their encore performance. During their last message to their fans, Jimin shared his frustration of not seeing fans because of the pandemic.
During the two-day concert, leader RM gave strength to both his BTS members and ARMYs by sending a message of hope during his speech. He emphasized finding a way to be strong despite life's many challenges and that he's grateful to be having the concert because the technology was present to make it happen.
“I thank God that we have this technology so that we can be connected with no latency, see each other's faces like it literally feels like you're here and I hope you guys feel the same way too.”
