Bang Bang Con: BTS ARMY can 'feel every single hip thrust' as their excitement knows no bounds
The popular K-pop boyband and worldwide heartthrobs BTS just upped the ante to a whole new level when they recently announced the Bang Bang Con, a two-day-long special series of online concerts and curated performances that their fans could watch from the comfort of their own homes. The seven-piece outfit, also known as the Bangtan Boys, are known for their heavy emphasis on fan engagement and pulled out all the stops to ensure that members of their 100-million-strong worldwide fanbase, the BTS ARMY were adequately entertained during the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
While Day 1 of the concert extravaganza featured plenty of online concerts that ran for many hours, Day 2 had the following setlist lined up for Saturday, April 18:
2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour in Seoul
2017 BTS Live Trilogy EPISODE III The Wings Tour The Final (2017 Memories)
BTS 4TH Muster [Happy Ever After]
BTS World Tour ‘Love Yourself’ Seoul
In case you were wondering what a "muster" is, it's essentially a BTS concert and fan meetup combined into one big event. And after being thrilled to bits on Day 1 of Bang Bang Con, fans were getting extremely excited and nostalgic on the event's second day as well, posting their approval as BTS dazzled and transported their fans to the realms of K-pop heaven and beyond with performances from the 'Wings' era, their fourth Muster, and their commercially successful 'Love Yourself' tour.
Their catchy dance moves and scintillating raps are a big feature of the BTS sound -- RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook are all talented performers, and their fans were tweeting their glee with each new song from their consolidated concerts showreel.
The rapper Suga was getting special love on social media, with people saying "WHILE HE IS RAPPING, U CAN FEEL THE EMOTIONS HE PUTS IN THE SONG, EVERY DROP OF WORDS U CAN FEEL THE MEANING OF THE STORY BECAUSE OF HE DELIVERS IT. THAT'S WHY BTS HAS THE BEST RAPLINE EVER."
Their amazing choreography also had their fans excited -- maybe a little too excited... "I feel every single hip thrust boi its 5 am, please b nice BTS" said one only half-joking fan.
BTS apparently are so good that they were even gaining non-human fans -- a viewer just posted "yall we convinced a friend that’s not rly into bts to watch the concert AND HER CAT CAME TO WATCH THE SCREEN FOR FIRST LOVE U CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP #BANGBANGCON_D2."
Others were thrilled that the performances would be on for many hours, regardless of the consequences - "my wifi eating s**t tonight but I'm coping with it for BTS."
Many other fans were getting emotional as they performed their heartfelt songs - "'I feel so nice mom I feel so nice I played the piano wherever my hands took me' - I’m not crying"
All the BTS Army agreed that this was one of the best events they had been a part of! Stay tuned for more amazing performances!
