BTS is set to hit the stage again for the first time in South Korea, since 2019. It will be holding the South Korean leg of their ‘Permission to Dance On Stage’ tour next month.
This is the first time BTS will have played a concert for a live audience in Seoul since their “LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF” tour. In December 2021, the band played four sold-out nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. It is marking their return to live concerts entirely, but this string of shows will be the first time the act will be performing for audiences back home in South Korea.
“PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE” in Los Angeles was one of the best-selling concerts in history anticipation seem to be just as high in the act’s home city, despite ongoing concerns around COVID-19.
At this time in South Korea, cheering at concerts and in-person events is still prohibited. It is designed as a measure of protection around the airborne virus. This has prompted audiences at concerts in Seoul to design creative workarounds in the form of coordinated claps and noisemakers there’s no doubt the BTS ARMY will be able to come up with ways to express their joy.
There still hasn’t been confirmation of a 2022 world tour or new album from BTS. With this live return to the stage, though, BTS’ quick break will officially be over.
