On June 14, the world is thrilled with BANG BANG CON The Live virtual concert by BTS. Though they don’t have any audience in presence to cheer them in person, they give the best of performance; the epic visuals, stage, outfits, and, of course, outstanding choreography! BTS also never misses giving surprises after surprises to make ARMY jump out from their seat at home.

Coronavirus outbreak made concerts are postponed and even canceled. However, we have to thank the advanced technology. Big Hit Entertainment, cooperating with Kiswe, create a virtual concert that feels like a real one!
“The concert will let BTS and ARMY continue to nurture their special connection together while keeping everyone safe and healthy!” says Big Hit Entertainment.

Since Big Hit Entertainment announced the event on May 14, ARMY got really excited. The agency put very minimal details, which made ARMY went wild with what to expect. Even tried to guess what surprises they might get Some ARMY figured that the concert would feature some aspects of the Map of the Soul world tour, which has to be canceled due to coronavirus pandemic.
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!
THE RESPECT STAGE!!!! 😭

Now that the concert has gone down, ARMY are still in euphoria and amazement. BANG BANG CON The Live was going for an hour and a half (for me, this was the shortest an-hour-and-a-half during coronavirus lockdown), and was packed with so many surprises.
The Performances

BTS absolutely nailed the performances of classic tracks from the old days. Besides, they also performed their sub-unit songs: Jamais Vu, Respect, and Friends for the first time. The septet also gave sneak peeks of Ugh! And Zero O’Clock vocal and rap-line.

The most exciting one was when BTS performed the remix version of their Persona single, Boy With Luv. The performance was featured a new sound and choreography, featuring light-up umbrellas.

How do you feel? Are you now smiling because you are satisfied with the septet virtual concert and all surprises they gave? Or are you now crying because you miss them even more? Or maybe both?
