In particular, BTS's "PTD On Stage" concert is their first concert stage in about a year since "BTS MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E," which was held through live streaming in October last year.
It is also the first time in two years that a stage has been set up at a large stadium concert hall since the "BTS World Tour Love Yourself Speak Yourself Final" was held in October 2019.
During the concert, seven young men warmed up the concert stadium with their track, "Spring Day" saying, "Like the lyrics of our song "Spring Day," we will come to meet you soon, so please wait a little bit. We'll see each other soon."
BTS also performed "DNA," "Blue & Gray," and "Black Swan," showing a great performance comparable to the choreography of modern dancers.
The concert was also not complete without "Blood Sweat Tears" and "FAKE LOVE" performances that indeed heightened the mood with BTS's exquisite dance skills.
As the concert went on, the world-renown group balanced the atmosphere with comforting and healing tracks such as "Life Goes On" and "Boy with Luv."
The BTS then raised the mood to its peak by performing stages of "Dynamite" and "Butter," which both topped the Billboard "Hot 100" consecutive times.
Subsequently, fast-tempo songs such as "Airplane pt.2," "Silver Spoon," "Dis-ease," and "Telepathy" continued, followed by "Stay," "So What," "I NEED U," "Save ME" and "IDOL."
BTS V Upset with His Leg Injury Yet Reassure Fans that He's Okay During PTD Online Concert
Meanwhile, V received both praise and concerns for still performing at the concert enthusiastically despite his leg injury.
Due to this, he sat down throughout the concert, yet his performances with the group were still breath-taking and heart-warming.
The member narrated, "There was a mistake while practicing and rehearsing for the performance.But ARMYs, you don't have to worry too much. I'm really okay. I will try to make it enjoyable from now on to the end."
V visited a hospital the previous day for calf muscle pain to undergo examinations and medical treatment and was told to refrain from dancing and performance — which is the reason why he's not moving, performing and dancing as much as possible on the stage.
Nevertheless, even while sitting in a chair and singing, he stood up from his seat several times in excitement and showed his willingness to perform with his upper body — proving professionalism.

BTS Members Shared their Sincere Worries and Message to ARMYs
Amid the exciting and fun performances, the members and fans both shed tears while sharing their worries and genuine messages to each other.
J-Hope said, "When I come to the empty main stadium, my heart seems empty. I remembered seeing you two years ago at the main stadium. It feels so new. I kept missing that moment. As you may have felt while preparing for this concert, we made a concert with only seven members. It was a big challenge and there were many difficulties."
Jimin added, "I'm trying to do well, but it's not working well. This place is too wide. You know how wide the main stadium is, but since no one is there, it feels like a rehearsal. I worked so hard that my voice got hoarse quickly."
Leader RM also conveyed, "To be honest, it was hard preparing for the concert. In fact, I think like that a lot. Do I have the remaining driving force to move forward as RM? Is there a motivation? To overcome that, I started exercising and started many things. Now I think it's really almost a limit, and it was hard because it repeated the moment when I felt like I forgot what I was doing."
Jin said, "I cracked my voice while performing. Looking at my situation like this, I hate myself. When I went on a lot of tours, I had physical strength for the tour, but now I haven't been on tour for a long time, so no matter how much I exercised and rehearsed, I lacked unique physical strength on the spot. t's a pity that the situation is like that."
Jungkook said, "In fact, I watched the empty stage while singing 'Spring Day'. Tears filled up. However, you've been through a hard time, and we've been able to hold back our tears after a hard time. If ARMY were here, I would have burst into tears. I really missed you a lot."
Suga said, "I forgot my routine when I perform. I looked for the final concert and it felt like a dream. The audience wasn't even wearing masks. Unlike two years ago, I didn't have a concert, so as I tried to perform a stage full of seven people in a long time."
As an ending message, RM concluded, "This performance is a single message. You don't know how much comfort and strength I gained from watching your video dancing to this music. Let's make the last performance together. Let's not read the room. I don't need anyone else's permission. Please dance with us," wrapping up the performance with "Permission to Dance."
