'Mic Drop' and 'Run BTS' Performance At BUSAN CONCERT - Former Boyband Member Reacts!

[@lanibear2019]

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.

"Run BTS: sums up the 10 years that lead up to this. Constant rehearsal, training, and promotion. As a fan, I appreciate all the videos that expose what they went through to be successful.

[@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.

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.

1. Yet to Come was a one-time concert in Busan as part of the city's bid to host the world expo 2. That song is "Run BTS", not to be confused with BTS's song "Run", or their variety show, "Run BTS". Lol. 3. The lights in the audience are lightsticks, which is a common thing for Korean bands. They each have their own design. 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. Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kimm Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS. It's the leader, then oldest to youngest.

The constant smile on your face is exactly why we all love BTS, especially the live performances. I hope you check out the more vocal line driven performances.

[@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.

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. 😇🕊

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.

Just an FYI, fan chants are common throughout K-POP and so are light sticks. Every group and solo artist typically has a light stick that is unique to them. They are programmed to be in sync with each other and with the music. Do a quick search on KZbin of a light stick ocean and you’ll see some good examples

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.

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%

[@annarobrigado7196]

one thing you should always remember when it comes to BTS and Army. Anything the Bangtan boys do, Army is always included. That goes for their albums, their videos, and most especially their live performances. The light sticks that are essential to the fandom will be coordinated with the stage lights and sounds, so that the changes in the stick lights will become part of the stage performance. it gives Army a very deep feeling of being one with BTS and that contributes very much to the overall experience of watching a BTS concert, something that army all over the world dream of being able to do at least once in their lifetime. It is not just a concert; it is a life-altering experience.

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 💜

My fave live performance of Mic Drop was when they made history, as usual, on Saturday NIght Live, they did Mic Drop (had a dance break, great camera angles!) and Boy With Luv. I read that you can't hear how deafening the screams were in the studio, i believe people lined up for blocks days in advance

[@evantesseract737]

I think I've seen a compilation of Suga just dropping mics 😁

[@bbluvs1029]

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@belinda61]

Dude, you're killin' me with how frequently you pause. You're losing the whole flow of the performance, which is part of what makes it so great! I honestly feel sorry for you if this is the entirety of how you're experiencing their live performances. I hope you take the time to just watch them through once on your own. I appreciate your wanting to give us your insights and first impressions, but we also want to see you enjoy the experience!

[@lachibolala7300]

You should watch the ‘RUN BTS’ dance practice! It really shows how synchronised and energy packed performance they deliver everytime

[@Jae..9..]

BTS, best group ever! No other group one can ever hold a candle, no matter how much they try to convince us otherwise.

[@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 🥰💜💜

[@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!!!

[@jm_estefania13]

JIMIN y J-HOPE son los mejores bailarines de BTS son lo máximo sus movimientos ❤

[@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

[@stillwithyou7072]

BTS performances live is a whole different ball game. They give 200% and the fans the same. Saw them at Wembley in 2019 it was amazing.

[@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.

[@jkeylovee]

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

[@sugasmeow]

This concert was a surprise to everyone. Busan is trying to host the world expo. They asked (kinda coerced) BTS to perform a FREE concert to promote Busan. This concert happened in oct of 2022 after BTS announced their “hiatus” in June 2022. So in the midst of solo activities and military serve preparations, they had to all of a sudden prepare for this free concert. They also foot the bill for everything.

[@AVAILABLEAAA]

My 6yr old and I stayed up all night so we could watch this concert on livestream when it happened. We lost our minds, it was beautiful to see her face as she was enchanted by BTS

[@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.

[@maniamedia3777]

Hey U need to listen to the actual track which they performed from this live - "Mic drop" MV and "Run BTS" lyric video or dance practice video (there isn't an MV for this) ❤

[@nightgoddess606]

Thanks again for having these thoughtful reactions about BTS. We love watching people's reactions, especially from someone like you who's been in the music industry for quite a while. Looking forward to your next videos! This Yet to Come Concert in Busan is a one-time free concert that they did as part of promoting Busan as a contender for the World Expo 2030. In attendance were about 50k people, 10k more people watching in two other venues within Busan who were watching it live on huge screens, and approximately 49+ million ARMYS watching it for free online as well. This is one of their ultimate dreams - to be able to perform for millions of ARMYS for free, and they finally did last October 2022. They also did this partly due to the fact that they will soon start enlisting one by one, with Jin beginning his training in December, only 2 months after this concert - so it's also a 'farewell-for-now-and-we-will-see-you-again-soon' performance. The lightsticks are called ARMYb0mbs. You can use it manually or sync it up with Bluetooth. Depending on where you are seated in the venue, the color of the lights and the blinking speed is controlled and it could create different patterns all across the seats and standing areas, so it makes for a very interesting experience overall as it constantly changes colors. The fan chants are unique to each song. The primary fan chant for BTS are the members' names from the leader (Namjoon/RM), then by age, from the oldest member Jin and down to the youngest, who is Jungkook. They end it with "BTS!" The fan chants for new songs released are typically released beforehand so that when promotions and performances are done, ARMYs are synced and they would know exactly what to chant and when to chant it. The energy in each of their concerts are truly palpable in the air. When they did their tour in Vegas, nearby establishments thought there was an earthquake due to the loud roaring and vibrations they felt. Arena and stadium staff would often attest that the ground would shake every time BTS performs! :) (one staff said in particular that BTS concerts are easily the easiest to work on since no one comes out for drinks or snacks during the performances LOL) I flew out to Bangkok for Yoongi/Suga's solo tour and it was truly magical! Can't wait to watch all of them live! The Run BTS performance is the only live one that they've done so far. Their stamina is truly admirable - to have come from doing Mic Drop which is already physically demanding in itself, then moving to Run BTS which has been one of their toughest choreographies to date. Someone might have already mentioned this - they also do their workouts on treadmills, occasionally singing while running so that they can improve their breathing and singing and build up their ability to not miss a beat and tone even while doing really demanding dances.

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

I tried to watch this online live but it crashed. This was a free concert to promote Busan (JK and Jimin’s home town) in its bid to host the 2030 Expo and I so wish I could have seen it live. It wasn’t quite as long as their usual concerts but they put their all into it and made it so special as it was their last as a group before Jin enlisted. I’m hoping to be able to see them in 2025 when they are all back together again. This was the first time they had performed Run in front of an audience. I had been anticipating a performance of this from the moment it was released and wondered why they hadn’t done a live version but of course they were holding it back for Busan. It has little references throughout to how they work even including the cheer they do before every performance. It has such a lot of energy. Jimin’s shirt had its own choreography. It performed perfectly to give us glimpses of his, ‘NEVERMIND’ tattoo on his ribs. Thanks for reacting to this and for emphasising just how much hard work goes into their live shows.

[@maryr1905]

And Nevermind is one of their songs to give that a bit of context.

[@7Flowers1Dream]

“Jimin’s shirt had its own choreography” 😂😂😂😂😂 This comment is spot on! It learned the choreo from Jimin’s sweater in the dance practice, then elevated it to a thousand 😅

[@karla1926]

Ohh jimin that outfit lives in my mind for free

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.💜🌎🤗

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.💜💜💜💜💜🇵🇹

[@anneking4656]

Great reaction! These were the first 2 songs of the Busan concert back in Oct 2022. Just the first two! The concert went on for another 90 minutes (approx). BTS is so amazing ~ I am lucky to have seen them live on their Permission To Dance tour in LA. It was truly incredible! The energy alone was just top level. Every ARMY should get to see them live ~ it’s a life-changing event. I rescheduled surgery for cancer to see these guys ~ it was that much of a priority for me to see them. The chants at the beginning of Mic Drop are the members names. And yes, the light sticks change color when you connect them to the venue via Bluetooth when you are at the concert. The staging crew can change all the lights to purple or red, or green. Any color really! They can spell out ARMY or BTS depending on what seat you are sitting in. Very cool effect! Thanks for a wonderful reaction…💜💜💜

Them live is TRULY UNMATCHED. I didn’t like live concerts that much until BTS. And though it’s crazy and the energy is SO HIGH the crowds of ARMY are really well behaved tbh. And organized hahahaha ❤

[@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!
