Jin’s Solo Album

As the oldest of the idols, Jin will be the first one to enlist for military service, but even that didn’t stop him from captivating ARMY hearts with his performance and passion.
Run BTS
Another key moment at the “Yet to Come in Busan” concert was the performance of RUN BTS, since the album's release, the song has been one of ARMY favorite and although we've been singing and dancing along to it for months, the idols have finally provided us with a choreography that was in charged by BIGHIT MUSIC, performance directors Kim Minsung, Yoon Seongeun, Lee ByungEun, Riehata and Sienna Lalau. A beautiful performance that lives in ARMY minds forever, enjoy their amazing performance below:
Idols in the Sky
A heart whelming moment occur for ARMY at the concert when a drone show was presented in the sky in which the BTS symbol changed into the ARMY symbol, I bet you can imagine how happy and excited ARMY were looking at it. The drones also build images of the idols in the sky which captured the attention of every fan present in the stadium.
This was a scenario that heightened the emotions, making the night's genuine high point and taking over Busan's skies, accompanied by a city light up with the iconic band’s purple color.

This are not only sad news for ARMY but as well for South Korea, since having one of the biggest worldwide known K-pop bands out of scene, the government is set to loose billions of dollars, BTS contributes with at least $3.6 billions every year. With negative aspects like this one, ARMY hoped the Korean government would made an exception with the idols, as it has been done in the past with musicians and footballers. You can read our dedicated blog about their military service here, you can find this and more detailed information on it.
I think that we all agree and can say that this concert warmed our hearts, it was a unique and awesome experience for ARMY and just as they will all ways be there for us, us in the same way will be there to support the anytime, anywhere, and we are going to be waiting for them with our arms open!

About the author: Suji was studying in London in the year 2019 and, although being separated from her family, her passion for Korea was growing. She noticed that a lot of her close friends loved Korean culture, food, music, and dramas and gradually started to fall in love with Korea, but there weren't many opportunities to actually "experience" this wonderful nation!
Suji was aware of what she needed to do to introduce Korea to her friends' lives and, conceivably, to those of everyone else who was curious about a piece of Daehan Min-guk.
