The director explained how the concert is structured around a thematic progression of han, heung, and love, corresponding to three acts titled BTS, KOREA, and ARIRANG.
Because the album was shaped by “the group’s personal concerns about and pressure around living up to expectations after a four-year hiatus,” it was only natural for the first act to “be paired with BTS with the idea of han.” It’s also why, during the song “Run BTS,” when j-hope raps the lines, “Jimin, V, worked hard / Namjoonie, Hope, worked hard / Yoongi hyung, Jjin, worked hard / Jung Kook and everyone so thanks,” the camera shows each of the BTS members’ faces in turn, as if paying respect to them and bringing them some solace for everything they went through.
The second act reflects the director’s intent to capture “Koreans’ sense of heung, where they just let loose and have fun.” The “FYA” and “FIRE (FYA mash up)” performances see the group moving full tilt all over the stage, creating an atmosphere where anyone can jump in and lose themselves in the moment, while back-to-back performances of “Body to Body” and “IDOL,” staged with immediately recognizable symbols of Korea, become a highlight of the concert by “ramping up the heung to its fullest.”
The final act puts the theme of love front and center. The director explained that this section was designed by “taking ‘Arirang’ and the question ‘What is your love song?’ and putting them together” to “bring the love and bond between ARMY and BTS to its zenith.”
After wrapping up the setlist with “Into the Sun,” the group walks off from the main stage, passes through the audience, and makes their exit to bring the show to a close—right back into ARMY’s embrace, bringing all the han and heung, the sadness and the gladness, along with them.
I am so freaking blown away by this 🤯
Did Namjoon really take a detour to Bologna in the middle of his intense stadium tour schedule?
His latest IG picture reveals none other than Casa Morandi—the sacred, quiet studio where Giorgio Morandi painted his timeless still-lifes for decades.
Traveling between Madrid and Brussels, he chose to step into the exact origin of his treasured “Fiori” just months before the SFMOMA exhibition. Finding absolute silence amidst the stadium roar… his dedication to art is simply unmatched.
Namjoon on weverse:
Hello. On this beautiful day, I am writing to you for the first time in a while.I do not particularly like or deeply believe in the phrase "someone saving someone else." However, having undeservedly heard such words from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that perhaps I, too, was saved by all of you.I am trying to live my life more simply, cleanly, or perhaps more boldly than before. The moments I fall into deep sentimentality have decreased significantly. Even so, the fact that the world is still a sad place seems unavoidable, no matter how many happy days there are. Then again, maybe it is actually because I am just so happy.I have shared so many words and thrown so many sounds your way. I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. Yet, I feel like I will always be someone who keeps sending and throwing things out like that—just as I did thirteen years ago, and just as I will in the future. As long as there is all of you to listen. It brings me immense joy that we can create memories together and grow older year by year. I love that I can still shout out to someone. Time and again, I see myself through you. Do you experience that too?Thank you once again for sharing this precious anniversary with me. Today is Saturday the 13th, an incomparably beautiful day. No matter what anyone says about what this means, I want to keep building anniversaries and memories that only we know deep in our hearts. As always, I look forward to our time together. I love you
Joon I love you so much🙁💙
@UFOsingas Maybe try to tell yourself “I want to do this” instead of “I need to do this”? I assume your psychologist is trying to help you stop beating yourself up to get things done because it’s adding a lot to your anxiety
Happy I could finally repurpose the artist made collection dustbags.
I used cotton curtain scraps for the lining, old black twill cotton from my fabric stash, & webbing straps from an old steamer and other things. The cotton is nice &light & soft & washable. ++
