BTS made a new record with its online concert titled “Bang Bang Con: The Live.” The show was held on June 14 and the seven members that consist of RM, Jungkook, Jimin, V, J-Hope, Jin and Suga, performed in a concert hall in Seoul but it was remotely broadcast live online.
BTS’ new record and their first live online concert
As per Variety, the “Bang Bang Con: The Live” was successfully carried out through the joint efforts between Big Hit and Kiswe, a live streaming solution company based in the United States. The show presented nice stages that were styled to give different moods and vibes to the audience.
BTS concert was staged like their usual shows but this one was only presented remotely. Still, fans got excited as there were many close-up shots and the group’s synchronized choreography was highlighted to the delight of the ARMYs.
Now, since the BTS members and the fans could not see each other face-to-face, the band also said that this can be a bit frustrating but it is good that they still have a way to meet. Jimin, in particular, shared how he feels about the setup.
“Though we may not be able to see each other at this time, we’ve been constantly striving to grow as a group,” Variety quoted Jimin as saying during the talk segment in the concert. “We are coping up with it pretty well so hope that you too can overcome this time by finding the small joy within. Hope we can meet each other again with smiles on our faces.”
BTS’ celebrated turning 7
BTS also celebrated its seventh year debut anniversary on June 13 so the concert is considered as an extension of the celebrations for the 2020 FESTA. Fans trended the #BTS7thAnniversary on Saturday and on Sunday, the #BangBangCon trended on social media.
Finally, The Korean Herald further reported that BTS is now the world's biggest paid online. It earned a lot and this was confirmed by Big Hit Entertainment. With over 756,000 fans who paid to watch the show, no wonder it was a top-grosser. It was said that the number of audiences could fill up around 15 stadiums.
