The Group BTS (RM, Jean, Sugar, J-Hop, Vu, Ji Min, Jung Guk) will enter the main stadium, a achievement that has been achieved in five years since its debut.
BTS released their repackaged album LOVE YOURSELF Answer (Love Yourself Resolution "Answer") at 6 p.m. on August 24. This album is a record of the LOVE YOURSELF series that has been prepared for two years and five months since March 2016. It is also a concept album that carefully selects the main songs that were included in the previous series.
The title song "IDOL (Idol)" is hotly loved, sweeping the top of major music charts at home and abroad shortly after its release. The songs that are made as much as the title song are also in the top 10 like bricks piled up.
The new song stage will be unveiled for the first time at the Seoul performance of 'LOVE YOURSELF (Love Your Self)' held at the Olympic Stadium in Jamsil Sports Complex, Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 25th and 26th. In the case of 'IDOL' performance, some of them were released through Music Videos, but it is considered to be a team that shows more powerful energy and dance on stage. Like the tour performances that have been introduced, it is expected to impress the audience by using a good set list, a live live stage, colorful performance, and the largest amount of stage devices.
BTS will mobilize a total of 90,000 spectators, 45,000 people per episode, through this two-time Seoul solo concert. Tickets for the performance were sold out at the same time as the ticket was opened. Ticket reservations were held four times from the first fan club advance reservation on June 28th to the first general reservation on July 2, the second fan club advance reservation on August 2, and the second general reservation on the 3rd. At the time of the first general reservation,
Since then, various ticket transfer sites and SNS have been dissatisfied with fans by selling tickets at a price higher than the cost. There were a few requests to sell tickets for limited viewing in a frustrating situation where you can not go to see even if you have money and time. In response to the fans' interest and support, BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment added tickets for the viewing-limits (parts of the 8th and 27th floors, part of the 44th and 64th floors, part of the 11th floors, and part of the 11th floor) on the 23rd, which were restricted in sales due to the installation, visibility and sound restrictions.
It is the first time that BTS will hold a solo performance at the main stadium after its debut in 2013
. Since the beginning of his debut, he has been steadily showing high-quality music and stage for the past five years and has expanded the venue, which is represented by fandom. He has been on the stage of the stadium-class main stadium, which can fill only a few of the K-pop singers.
Previously, BTS debuted on October 18, 2014, at the Yes24 Live Hall (formerly AX Hall) in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, for the first time in a year and four months. THE RED BULLET' (which has 6,000 seats in three days) was opened. The following year, he met with fans through an Olympic Hall solo concert (a two-day 6,000-seat event) and a solo concert at SK Olympic Handball Stadium (a three-day 15,000-seat event). The goal of entering the gymnasium, which was considered as a dream stage since the days of trainees, was achieved through the '2016 BTS LIVE on stage: epilogue' (a total of 24,000 seats in two days). In February and December last year, he performed his first performance (a total of 40,000 seats in two days) and final performance (a total of 60,000 seats in three days) for the Gocheok Sky Dome solo concert "BTS Live Trilogy Episode 3 Wings Tour 2017 BTS LIVE TRILOGY EPISODE III THE WINGS TOUR" and proved endless growth.
As a result, BTS became the 12th K-pop singer to perform solo performances at the main stadium. Previously, H.O.T (1999, 2001), Shinhwa (2005), god (2001, 2014), Cho Yong-pil (2003, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010 twice, 2018), TVXQ (2005, 2006), Lee Seung-hwan (2007), Lee Seung-chul (2010), JYJ (2010, 2014), Lee Mun-se (2013
), Seo Tae-ji (2014, 2017), and EXO (2017) came to the main stadium stage and communicated with tens of thousands of audiences.
BTS will continue its weekly domestic music broadcasting activities including Mnet 'M Countdown' appearance on the 30th after the Seoul performance. Since then, it plans to perform 33 times in 16 cities including North America, Europe and Japan. Through this 'LOVE YOURSELF' tour, a total of 790,000 audiences will be visited.
