In a year where all plans were marred by the coronavirus pandemic, K-pop sensation BTS found a way to connect with and enthral thousands of their fans around the globe through their ‘Map of the Soul ON:E’ online concert.
The first part of the fully virtual show was livestreamed from Seoul on Saturday, with the music group — comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook –reaching out to the ARMY, their fans, in an attempt to spread some cheer in these testing times.
The two and a half hour-long concert saw the septet perform 23 songs, including their multiple award-winning “ON”, “Dionysus”, “Black Swan”, “DNA”, “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey and the Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, “Dynamite”, their first full-fledged English language single.
BTS, whose full name is Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) and enjoy massive popularity across cultures as Beyond The Scene, also completed seven years in 2020 since their debut and as always, didn’t forget to thank their admirers.
“The world wasn’t easy with us when we started,” leader RM said. (PTI)
