The light sticks are ARMY bombs and at shows they can sync up to whatever is planned for the show. It is amazing. The fans also were doing fan chants. There are certain chants for certain songs. The main chant is the guys names.

[@NathanWalters]

That's so cool!

[@isabellereffas3679]

@@NathanWalters It is cool but just so you know, the fan chants are a Kpop thing. Each Kpop band has its own which is usually the band members names followed by the name of the band. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your discovery of BTS.

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

The BTS fan chant starts with Kim Namjoon then goes through each member in age order and ending in, BTS.

This was a Free concert that had 50,000 people attending about 100,000 watching a liveplay from a nearby park and had approx. 50 mil online real time viewers. They did this for The World Expo 2030 and this was their last concerts as a group before they go to the military 💜

[@ruthfischer7615]

The number of online real-time viewers is almost certainly wrong. Weverse BTS only has about 24 million accounts now. And they were NOT all on. Weverse counts are questionable. Quiet likely they counted every reload as a new viewer and because of the break-down that means a lot of reloads. Where there other places that were online? sure, but not that big. What actually worked was the JTBC view and strictly speaking I'm not sure how you would get the numbers from that. So if you have a good source to prove me wrong I'd like to be corrected but I'm sceptical.

Be careful to say you have a light stcik if ever you go to an airport though when describing what the ARMY Bomb is. Seriously. Lol. Loved watching this online live when they did esp Run since there was originally no choreography so it was a big surprise and there’s a whole lot they put into certain moves that covers them being together. E.g. When JHope does his rap, he calls out each member’s real name and they jump out from behind him, they do a move that they always do before and after shows, other. Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👏👏👏

Kpop artists work so incredibly hard. Their live singing while dancing is insane. Most American artists will go on stage for an hour or hour and half set with opening artists. Kpop artist go on stage and perform for 3 hours! With minimal breaks. Also the light sticks seen in the audience are called army bombs. You can sync them up to your seat at the stadium and it creates a light show during the performance.

[@jonok42]

I have never seen a kpop concert that was three hours. Usually they are two hours and there are breaks for solo numbers and unit numbers and vhs's which usually last 5 to 10 minutes. Then there are the breaks for them to talk to the crowd. They have to have rests or they will lose their voices. I went to The Back Street Boys concert last year. They did have an opening act, but then they came out and performed for 2 hours. They did have a couple of wardrobe changes and solos and duets were done during those. Jonas Brothers do the same. I don't do a lot of concerts, but I do know others that do. They all say the same. Idols aren't really IDOLS.

[@faithbangtan662]

Once they come back four tour, you have to try and see them in person. It's a whole different experience. I've had seats all over the stadium, from front row to nearly back row, and they are all great seats.

[@stacybrenton5482]

"Run BTS", not "Run - that's a whole other song," is a very special song. This concert was the first and last time they performed and did choreo of this live for us. They released, Run BTS, on their Proof album about 5-6 months before performing it live. This was their last concert as they were starting their sojourn rotation to their mandatory military service. It was very emotional for everyone and I would say bittersweet for them as well as ARMY. Glad you enjoyed it. They do slow down and perform some slower songs like Butterfly and Zero O'Clock at one point = tears. Worth watching every second if you can.

[@evantesseract737]

Butterfly HURT. I'm not complaining. But ow.

[@ChelebelleOT7]

The light stick that we call an Army Bomb sinks up based on your concert ticket seat. The whole concert is lit up with beautiful colors and changes in our light sticks. It’s honestly so beautiful to see in person. The energy is so palpable and the mutual love for each other is so present in whatever arena we are in. I have had seats back on level 2 and have been front row for their Permission to Dance concerts in LA and Vegas. There is no bad seat in a BTS concert. They do give 120%+ all the time. They will tell us they are going on a hiatus or mini vacay break and we get bombarded with so much surprise content as if they aren’t on a hiatus at all. Their live band is amazing and really gives a different feel to the songs. One of my all time favorite segments of their shows is when they do a medley of several songs in their show. The energy is fire! You have the Army Bombs shinning and fireworks, confetti flying everywhere and the guys going hard for what feels like a good 30 minutes straight! It’s impressive for sure. I think you would enjoy watching one of these. Also, I would recommend listening to Life Goes On live. A song they wrote during the pandemic when all we could do was miss each other and long for the moment we could reunite together.

[@nellies-taekook-journals]

TY for sharing this. This was the only time BTS performed "Run' BTS" live. It's their last full concert. "Run BTS" was a fan favorite as soon as "Proof' was released and enthusiasm for the choreo was high. Mic Drop is a concert favorite from 2017. It's a great concert but for me (with vision problems) it's too dark. Most people who go to their concerts are actual dues paying ARMY members... (There's a drawing so the GP hardly ever gets a chance at tickets.) So they know all the lyrics months before they ever get to the venue. This was a huge event in Busan, the beginning of a push to get an international festival (2030 World Expo) to choose Busan for it's main location. The stadium sold out and they set up a venue with a big screen at the beach a mile away. It was also live streamed. This one had 'technical problems' at Weverse on the live stream so a lot of people were disappointed and the concert had to be re-streamed (?) the next week. Thanks for watching it though... I hope you can watch the whole thing without interruptions sometime.

"Sold Out" is a bit of a misnomer since it was "free". The second stream was always planed but the breakdown of the live-event was annoying. There were livestreams from outside which at least gave you sound but I found a twitch stream that was using JTBC station and that worked.

@@ruthfischer7615😁I guess it was free if you watched it on your computer at home... I heard the hotels and concessionaires really raked it in by overcharging for everything. I watched it on JTBC too. But it wasn't the best stream. I'll never understand how they can continue to underestimate the audience for these things. I watched it the next weekend (or 2nd?) on Weverse and the transmission was good then. But I'd already seen most of it piecemeal so it didn't have the "WOW" factor that it would have first hand. 😇🕊

Fun fact: This concert was free. Yup Free. Also Jin was sick prior to this but he did amazing. Many did not know how bad it was either, he received injections prior to the concert to help him. This was also their last concert as a group before they enlisted. Their concerts are an experience that unless you have gone you can't understand. The light sticks you see are called Army bombs, they sync into BTS light system that they control and create an amazing light show too. If you see more live concert videos you will see it. BTS also use live bands during their concerts and its fun to watch the interactions between them and they guys in fan cams. I do have to say that I enjoyed watching your expression change just a few seconds into their performance. I know we have said it many times but BTS is like no other. Also what you heard chanting was the fan chat which is the names of the guys starting with the leader then oldest to youngest. Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook BTS!!! BTS also releases song chants per song for fans to chant while they perform. I would say you should watch their MMA performance. It is an award show that turns into a concert.

BTS's is called the ARMY Bomb and is shaped like a bomb (but we don't call them that at events. Lol). 4. This is the only time BTS performed "Run BTS" live. They announced Jin was going into the military shortly after this concert. 5. Yes, those were the first two songs of the concert. They kept that energy for two hours. Jin was sick and still sang well. 6. The chant at the beginning is the fan chant of their Korean names.

I love this breakdown so much. the reason why this set in particular was so important to army was cus that this was their last concert as a band together. they JUST released RUN BTS just a few months prior in their latest anthology proof. it only featured 2 unreleased songs and this was one of them. they were teasing that they wouldn't be able to perform it for us but they surprised army with this performance with their second song of the night. I remember watching this and i was going NUTS when i heard "ye yeh," cus i was like "NO FRICKIN WAY BRO:" the choreo also went hard. i respect these guys a lot. i was a hater for no reason at all except for the fact that they were famous until i heard mic drop in 2018. i fell in love with Namjoon and his swag and then eventually found my love for bts and what they stood for. now jhope is on his way to replacing jungkook as my bias honestly, i am really excited for your journey through BTS, Nathan. Keep burrowing through the rabbit hole! I find that their music heals way more than any other songs I've listened to but still has that mainstream sound to it. I've come to appreciate life in a different way and accept people no matter where they come from and what language they speak. These guys are humanitarian role models and we should all be like our boys

[@LPnerd]

Keep in mind, RM and JIN were sick with sore throats. Jin had epiglottis and had been under DR. care all week, Suga was sick by the end of the night. The v live after the concert those 3 were not there and the guys explained, plus JIn talked about it later. Those lights are ARMY BOMBS, they are blutooth enabled and sync up with your seat number.

You could hear it in RM's voice after Mic drop, and Suga by end of show he was letting ARMY take many of his parts. NO one knew a thing until after the show. They are all amazing.

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

Once again, I love your reaction. We have finally won you over to the live side. Hee hee They are Rock Stars!!!! 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻

[@faithlovelynhuesca598]

Yeah bangtan gives 200💯each performances!!! NO compromises! it’s a reflection of their character individually as an artist and passion for music as a whole! So yeah!!! They are the BEST!!!

[@JKlovelyyy]

Oh man I love this concert.. this is a FREE concert for army before they started entering the military 😢

[@cynthiaarnold1371]

It was their last concert before they started into their military rotation. Gosh. Just watching that makes me tear up. And when I watch their dance practice of run BTS I’m impressed even more by this choreo.

[@Nikki1249g]

I can't wait for you to see their 2019 MMA Full live performance!! Nathan, its going to blow your mind! Trust me.

[@evantesseract737]

Yeah usually I tell people to work up to that one but honestly... He's ready 😂

[@Nikki1249g]

@@evantesseract737 Same. I know he's really only scratched the surface of their content, but with his background I think he would appreciate the artistry of that performance

[@Kiki-cm1pm]

„I‘m getting inspired by these guys.“ I just know they would be so happy to hear this because this is exactly why they are doing what they‘re doing! Thank you!

[@s.e.1184]

Niice! Cool that you reacted to this. What a concert.

[@Jimins_Minion]

Oh, and they usually do a heavier version of some songs when live. ARMY would beg that they release concert soundtracks too since the versions are amazing. So far, I think only Jhope released a couple of live songs. He re-released Jack in the box to include 2 versions from his Lollapalooza (HOBIpalooza) stage. The whole album is AaaaaMazing! Actually, you may want to react to full albums, even if it’s just their chapter 2 solo albums. It shows you each members personality since it’s their own personal album which that’s managed/created from start (coming up with the songs and what message they want to impart) all the way to how they want to promote them.

Lovvvee love love your inputs! first time reactions so raw and real.. 👍🏼💜

[@anar2522]

Thanks for your reaction they're so good live:) your earing is cool btw

[@cutebunn5908]

The behind the scenes shows staff with oxygen, ice packs, towels and support to help them recover after performances as they give so much they are near collapsing. 💜💜💜

[@evantesseract737]

We also have more than one example of J-Hope lecturing Jungkook on needing to conserve his energy. They work so hard 💜

[@cutebunn5908]

@@evantesseract737 Yup 💜💜

[@bbluvs1029]

This is their last concert before their military inlistment. This is a huge concert and free! This is treat for Armys!!

[@kbutler317]

This was the cutest reaction lol-you cracked me up! Crazy stuff happened on stage and you stop it and say “cool” in the cutest way I can’t describe it. Thanks for being open minded and love your reactions!

[@elizabethhall5358]

So fun to rewatch this with you! Such an inspiring concert and so special because it took place in october after their June announcement of taking time on solo projects.

[@pilarmendoza8684]

I'm just going to say: "Dance practice Run BTS" it will blow your mind 💜

[@reecegentry]

this was the first time we got run bts live and witnessed the choreography. as someone who woke up at 5 am to watch it live from my home, it was SO WORTH IT JUST FOR THAG MOMENT. ten years later and they still give it 100000%

[@Sehyam3005]

Estaba esperando este video !!!!!!💜💜💜

[@aveshreemoodley5573]

Thank you for this reaction. I watched this in the theatre screening and it was amazing, closest to seeing them live. Love the earring Nathan

[@katchtree]

A cool way to maybe digest the mass amount of songs they have is to watch the MV (if there is one), a live performance on stage and then the dance practice video for the song. It may seem like a lot to put in each video but I’m telling you we WILL watch lol It is so satisfying to ARMY to see people discovering them really take in the full picture and experience of each song. The dance practice videos are like performances in themselves but it really allows you to see the full choreo that you don’t get to see in the MV or on stage depending how they perform it that show. That way you get the full experience of the music with every piece they offer their fans 💜

[@ma.belenrubillos8439]

The fan chants: Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook... BTS!!!

[@ourpurpleworld7]

I was waiting for your next BTS reactions. Thanks for your reaction. Can't wait for your next reaction.

[@faithlovelynhuesca598]

BTS ALWAYS SING LIVE!!✌️

[@mmariedelle5511]

Love your reaction videos Nathan, and as a musician and former boy band member yourself, you definitely know how much practice goes into learning the choreography (BTS is known for really hard chores too) and nailing it during performance. There are dance practice videos of most of their songs (MVs).... I'm sure you will be able to relate to their practice sessions... I'd love for you to react to them too. You can definitely start with Mic Drop and Run BTS dance practice videos for sure...

[@ninaiyenk5369]

Loves your reactions at their performance. I love to rewatch this concert video and hopefully in 2025 can see their live concert. 🤩

[@alpaca143]

These guys are really amazing see how hard their choreo keep on moving energetically but they can still sing very well..much respect for them they working hard 🥰💜💜

[@c.velosa2923]

Hi thank you for teacting to BTS live. They are just genuinely amazing. I like the fact that you know tour stuff when it comes to music so you can better apreciate theyre talent. The energy is everything for bts and army.they guive us there all.💜💜💜💜💜🇵🇹

[@ceejays]

hi Nathan! first off, I am a fan of Plus One ❤ you guys have produced quality "boyband" music during your era and I still listen to them to this day, especially Be and Here in My Heart ❤ thank you so much for appreciating the guys... I echo everyone's sentiments that they sound better live and their energy, together with ARMYs, is unmatched 💜 I hope I'd be fortunate enough to come to one of their concerts when they regroup in 2025.

[@lindafarsi8098]

It was so cool, I watched the live stream in October and then at the theater earlier this year.

[@sammysamsam2992]

One of my fave live performance ever, mic drop and run bts will really make you jump up and hype up!

[@janiceholmes5198]

That is one of my favorite live performances...not just for BTS...but EVERYONE! They really thrive/feed off of the energy from ARMY. That's what makes them beautiful!

[@Mrs.L.44]

I have watched several reactions of yours. This is the first video I have seen where you actually said something positive. I am glad to hear some reactions either positive or negative.

[@foxyhow9439]

Love your voice and the way you react to BTS/talent in general! You have a lot of insight into the whole aspect of creating and enjoying music. Would love to hear you take a crack at a BTS song!! Love the earrings also! ❤

[@nancysmith3400]

💜🤗Busan is Jimin’s hometown I think jk too. Jimin, jk, and Suga have marshal arts backgrounds. I like the way you make the screen for BTS the focus as you respond. So much fun sharing the journey with you, thanks for the Love.💜🌎🤗

[@ifucantrespectdontopenurmouth]

Something that no one can fight about is : No one can do live performance than BTS.

[@largemarge5944]

Love your earring. I'm 62, so I have been to some concerts through the years. Nothing compares to BTS. A stadium in the Midwest, sold out, all ages, ethnicities, men & women. Singing along like we are at a Garth Brooks concert. It's amazing.

[@btstaehyungph]

Very well done...they give 115%..live performances are the best if u just dig😊the chants and the energy are superb..💜💜💜

[@snuggies8037]

Their concerts are even better in person! Literally feel like a magical dream where you are being lifted off your feet! They are amazing performers and give 110% for the entire 2+ hours!!!
