By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Straight from Korea, international phenomenon BTS gave an astounding performance at the 2020 iHeartRadio Music Festival.

On September 19, local time, the septet took the virtual stage for iHeartRadio's two-day concert, which included a star-studded lineup of acts such as Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Usher, Miley Cyrus, and so much more.

The Korean boy group was the closing performance of the night and they delivered back-to-back performances of their hits starting with their all-English hit, “Dynamite.”

On the very same set, the group transitioned into “Make It Right” before walking onto a brand new backdrop of an oversized boombox with accompanying LED screens.

With the help of some post-production magic, fans saw two versions of the Korean act as their set rotated on the stage and unveiled the group wearing an all-white outfit for “Spring Day.”

The finale performance showed RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook singing “Boy with Luv.”

National Youth Day

The same day, BTS gave an inspiring speech at Korea's Blue House in honor of National Youth Day.

The group, who delivered an address together as honorary “youth leaders,” was invited by Korea's President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook.

Each of the members took turns addressing the “youth of tomorrow,” with RM starting the speech by saying how the group supports all the youth who are “taking on new challenges all over the world.”

Jin ended the speech with, “Just like the youth of yesterday and today, just as we have all done up until now, I hope that you will continue to walk briskly ahead towards the future without stopping.

“I hope that your exceptional thoughts will change the world and I hope that you will lead the way, and become the light of this day and age for the sake of the youth of tomorrow.”
