So now I am home and have had time to rest for a few hours, I want to explain what this concert meant to me personally.
When BTS went into the military they promised us faithfully they would return and come back to us, i believed them as I have always done.
In the meantime I was diagnosed with blood cancer, I was devastated and I only told 3 people on here other than my family @JiminsMiniMum was one of them. She was always there checking in on me 😘 The thing that kept me fighting other than my family was BTS I knew I had to keep going because I needed to fulfil 12 years of love by being at their concert and I would fight for those tickets no matter what it cost.
My son was on the ball in ticket day( I did tell him life wouldn't be worth living if he didnt get me tickets) and he did get me those tickets.
Now it was the countdown to the day I had only ever dreamed about. I carried on with my treatment even though some days were really hard and less than 2 months ago miraculously I was told I was in remission (for now) 🙏 I couldn't believe it, the first person I messaged was @JiminsMiniMum to tell her my good news. It felt like I had been given this chance because of my boys, somebody up above knew I needed to see them and I had fought for that.
Concert day arrives and I have never been in so much pain but I walked everywhere I didn't want to miss a thing, everyone was just so kind and then it's concert time I was excited as a kid at Xmas. FINALLY and my boys are real, in front of my eyes, I was literally breathing the same same air as Jimin & Jungkook, I couldn't believe my eyes or ears. I cant describe in words after 12 years how I felt inside and the pure happiness they brought me. I will be forever grateful to them because when people say they saved my life, well BTS you really did save mine 💜

🐱: i got here a day earlier than the other members and went to a Metallica concert. Turns out it was their 45th year? Since we're only in our 13th year, that means we still have 32 years ahead of us. You'll keep watching us until then, right?
😭😭😭😭😭
[The Guardian, 5/5⭐️ Review]
‘BTS review – pure joy and astonishing versatility at K-pop titans’ first UK show in seven years’
“It’s a film that comes to mind while watching BTS play their first UK show in seven years, an unbelievably enjoyable spectacle of pyro and panoptical staging, and the purest distillation of what makes a boyband precision-engineered to capture fans’ hearts. BTS are the biggest K-pop group in the world. With more than 40m albums sold, they have a fanbase so fervent it is called the Army.
…No matter how drilled we know K-pop bands to be, BTS’s versatility is still astonishing. The stands literally shake as they thunder through pop-rap crossover Hooligan; the Tame Impala-indebted Like Animals cements their prowess with balladry, soft and floaty enough to feel like it’s being sung directly to each of the 62,000 people in the room. The industrial-level bangers mid-show are a thrilling energy release and the surprise songs that aren’t usual setlist fixtures seem to delight even the band, who grin and sing along to each other’s parts.
The joy onstage is reflected back approximately one million-fold. It reverberates through the wall of screams and the sea of lit-up Bomb sticks. Girls have photos of their favourite members woven into their hair and dangling off handbags. They end on a gentle note, motioning to each other to take out their in-ear monitors to hear fans sing Into the Sun back to them. I started the show ambivalent and by the end I had a favourite member (Jimin) and an urge to learn Korean. I wanted to make them my wallpaper and bump into them at Duck & Waffle. I didn’t even have a Bomb stick so if they were controlling my mind it was through other means. Whatever BTS has, it’s potent.“
