BTS performance
BTS built its set around the “BTS 2.0” concept, linked to the group’s latest album and its current stage. The show used large visual screens and special effects. The performance began with “Swim,” the lead track from the fifth LP “Arirang,” while images of waves were displayed on the screens.
The group also performed “2.0,” the 2017 hit “Mic Drop,” and “Fya.” Before the concert, J-Hope said the members were grateful for the opportunity to perform on major stages again after completing military service. RM called BTS fans, known as Army, the best in the world and noted that he is impressed by how they sing Korean lyrics 14 years after the group’s debut.
