this was my breaking point, seeing tannies get emotional about the past and the memories, we will be best friends forever bangtan and i promise you that.
I need time to properly write what happened in Brussels D2, but I still want to share what I can for now
I became ARMY with ON, after I crisis-bonded with the Tannies during a continental move that almost broke my body & my mind. This was also at the start of the pandemic
So when the opening lines of ON began, something in me broke
Tears flowed down my face. It was the first time I had really cried during a BTS concert. I was thankful people around me could not fully hear my open sobs beneath the roar of our singing
Then they continued with For Youth & the tears shifted. They were no longer only mine
The song carried the tears we shed after that FESTA dinner, the tears during those years apart & the tears of watching this whole f—king world continue to unravel, including in the very countries I once called home
It was as if their 흥 (heung) the spark of joy, rhythm, playfulness & excitement, had loosened something in my 한 (han). And for a moment, we rose into 신명 (shinmyeong) that ecstatic release when grief, rhythm, body & collective feeling become something larger
Their ments confirmed that I was not alone in this feeling
With Please & Into the Sun, I cried again as I remembered what it took me to get here. My own Amazing Race. The cancellations, the misdirections, the almost-not-making-it over & over again as I navigated through 3 countries over 24 hours
How I painfully looked into the sun for the first half of each show & knew I would do it again
And again
“I’ll follow you into the sun, into the sun”
I ugly-cried & sang because this was a catharsis, a kind of liberation I seldom experienced
Afterwards, I wondered if I had imagined it all
Then, while standing in a metro line, I saw people with soundcheck lanyards around their necks & asked them about their experience
They told me that they & the people around them began weeping during For Youth
I became ARMY with ON
I held on with For Youth
And with Into the Sun, I reaffirm that home
am i tripping or did jungkook mouth “oh shit” right when he realized his ‘ON’ bridge was next? 😆
he knew he was about to eat, he’s too good TOO GOOD🙂↕️
momento que jimin percebe um espectador passando mal e fica preocupado
JM: aqui! aqui! *pedindo ajuda* acho que essa pessoa não está bem. por favor, façam alguma coisa rapidamente!
JM: ali, abriram um caminho! acho que vocês precisam atender a pessoa por aquele lado, vindo por trás!
*logo em seguida veio taehyung, jungkook e namjoon, e então todos os membros foram percebendo e pararam o show*
To all my Filo ARMYs, since BTS is finally returning to the Philippines next year after a decade, here's a reminder for everyone.
Please lang keep this in mind.
🐻 We feel really grateful for your welcoming hearts, but we'd like you to refrain from coming to the hotel if possible. We don't really want to share where we're staying and it affects our condition for the concert and so we make this request of you. And as we go on our tour, it's really important to us to be able to try out delicious restaurants, walk along streets, and comfortably enjoy those countries. I hope there won't be any more times when you come to our hotels. We ask for your understanding!
