BTS RM Pens Confession to ARMY – Here Are His Thoughts
When the COVID-19 pandemic whipped, numerous activities were temporarily paralyzed as protocols were adjusted far beyond the customary instructions. Being susceptible to these changes, the music and performance industry had no escape as well.
As COVID-19 practices strictly advise people to observe social distancing, minimize talking, and mandatory wearing of face masks, conducting concerts for almost two years became blurred and directionless.
In aid of the pandemic procedures, agencies conducted offline concerts through online streaming. But it seems like this setup will never equalize the energy and power that in-person concerts could give.
On the Gradual Transition to In-Person Concerts
After concluding the unparalleled concert success of the Love Yourself and Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour, BTS was always vocal on longing to perform again in the same venue with their ever-beloved ARMYs.
In November and December 2021, American Music Awards 2021's Artist of the Year once again showed the world what a real concert performance is as they did not need any permission to dance with the ARMYs during the 4-night sold-out concert at the SoFi Stadium.
Additionally, the concert was streamed via VenewLive for ARMYs outside the SoFi Stadium.

A day before the much-awaited concert, BTS' leader, RM, shared his thoughts and feelings regarding performing on stage without the COVID-19 restrictions.
The leader and resident rapper of one of HYBE Labels' pride started by mentioning that they have wrapped up the rehearsals and just like the ARMYs, the members are excited as well. That after three years of waiting, BTS and ARMYs have the chance to experience the traditional concert vibes as COVID-19 restrictions in South Korea have been gradually lifted.
RM also mentioned that the concert is close to his heart since he considers Busan City "like a home to his heart."
He also mentioned the challenge of sandwiching performances since 'Yet to Come in Busan' will be held only for one day. In addition, the fans may feel the nostalgic vibes as the group will perform some throwback songs.
According to reports, some of the rumored songs that BTS may perform are Butterfly, Dionysus, Cypher Pt. 3, Spring Day, and 00:00 (Zero O'Clock).
The ever-humble leader of BTS concluded his letter to ARMYs by admitting that lapses are always present, but BTS is always there to give their best during live performances.
"But since BTS is all about performing live, you know we'll be giving it our best as we always do." - RM
Finally, RM (and perhaps, his members too) wishes nothing but for everyone to enjoy the show, most especially when ARMYs are given the chance to express their excitement through cheering and singing along with the artist.
