Should I go to a BTS concert, even though I’m a casual fan?

I have recently been getting more into Korean culture, Kpop included. I really enjoy BTS’ music and am becoming a fan, though I would by no means call myself a super fan…yet.

I just saw that their Map of the Soul tour will be coming to my city in the US. I feel like because they are only coming to so many American cities that I should really take advantage of my luck and get tickets.

From what I understand, other types of concerts are fun, but their concerts (and Kpop concerts in general) are absolute experiences. Though I’ve been to lots of different kinds of shows, I’ve never actually been to any kind of concert, and I feel a Kpop concert would be super worth being there for because of just how much goes into their performances, fan interactions, etc. that you’d never get anywhere else.

So main my question is, will I still enjoy it even though I’m a more casual fan, or…do I need to be a superfan to understand and enjoy what’s going on?

I dislike the loudness and strobing—(on stage, the lights in the audience should be fine)—at concerts, (and I like rock and metal music, which are even more an issue in that regard, if I were to go to one of those concerts), so that’s why I haven’t been to any. I’d bring my noise cancelling headphones to help with the noise level, but if their concerts are really only worth it for superfans…it’s probably not worth the struggle with noise, crowds, etc. for me to go.

Also…how intense is the noise?? Obviously it’s going to be intense because, well, it’s a concert…but do most people find it bearable? Or loud enough—with regard to the show, the fans, or both—that they didn’t enjoy it?

I know their songs will be mostly in Korean, but will the whole show itself be pretty much entirely in Korean? Or is there some English in their American shows?

What are fans like at their concerts?—specifically their fans in America. What do they act like in general? Are they welcoming to new fans? What’s the demographic—is it mostly teenage girls? (I ask because teenage girls’ screams, are, well…the highest and loudest. Of the shows I’ve been to, the one whose noise level bothered me most is the one at which the fans were pretty much all teenage girls)

Also, would getting the cheaper seats in the back dampen my experience? Is it really worth it to pay for something closer (again, for a more casual fan)? Would being in the back help with noise level in any way? Would it make it worse?

Any specific recommendations for songs I should listen to, things I should watch, know, or become familiar with beforehand if you think I should go?

…Anything else you think I should be informed about before making my decision?

It’s a few months away, so I’ve got time to listen to more of their music, and potentially become a super fan, and join the ARMY before long XD

But I know their tickets will sell out fast so I should probably get them right away if I want to go, and I thought I’d check with some people who have maybe already been to their concerts to get more information and see if I should do that or not, according to my feelings now

[i-prefer-the-term-antihero]

@gillslikeafish Thank you so much for your long, candid response!! You don’t ever have to worry about messages being too long with me 😊

It’s really great to hear from a hardcore Stan!!

That makes sense. For the most part I’m just completely unsure as far as the noise goes. I’ve been to a show that had singing elements, screaming fans, and was at a concert venue, even though it wasn’t a true concert. Then, as long as i wore my noise canceling headphones I was pretty much fine. (Only issue was when the base would reverberate in the headphones and defeat their purpose). So due to that experience I have more hope that I could handle it with noise cancelling headphones, especially in the back (I was in the front at that other show), and of course in my heart I want that to work 😅 But it is a true concert, and i have no way of testing the headphones with that level of noise other than just going, so it may be safer to assume I couldn’t handle it, even with headphones…Plus, the crowd back then was nothing to a stadium crowd. At the same time, listening to the clips of BTS stadium concerts from the audience the screaming level actually seemed fine. Not sure if the video just wasn’t capturing it…

Oh man I was just learning about that, it seems insane 😳 …So even in general admission you gotta keep clicking like a madman to even have a chance to get tickets? That definitely is a deterrent…Would you say getting the free presale would help that process or not if I am fine with cheaper seats?

Also, what’s the current countdown on ticketmaster according to? Is it counting down to the first presale or the GA sale?

That’s wonderful about the fans!! And I’m glad to hear it’s not only teenage girls XD

Ahhh I see

Yeah I’ve definitely heard about the fan chants!! Is there any way to familiarize myself with the chants/songs that’ll be included in that beforehand? The chants are mostly just song lyrics right? And do they release the setlist? I’m good at memorizing so especially if I’ve got months to practice, as long as there’s a way to know what they’ll be (or some of them) beforehand I should be able to lock those down fairly well. And be willing to do so if it heightens the experience. I definitely think not knowing them could make it less fun.

Do those help with the noise level? When I was watching clips the chants seem to help with the screaming a lot because people would quiet to chant.

Yeah I don’t mind the songs being in Korean, it’s Kpop after all!!

Ahhh that’s good to know!!

Ahh I see. That’s so cool they love their fans!!

I can definitely see that.

Yes, the light sticks were actually a pull for me!! They seem really fun. I didn’t realize they were that expensive though 😬 I’d probably still make sure to get one though.

(Do you know if they are included in the presale kit thing? I wasn’t intending to buy one but I was wondering why it was so expensive.)

So do they just sell those at merch stands around? How hard is it to get one? Like are the lines before the show for light sticks insane?

That’s good!!

That’s awesome (haha!)!!

Cool!! I think I might like seeing the “ocean” more anyways. I don’t know, it is tough when they’re dots in the distance too though XD

Again, no worries at all!! I love it when people give me long responses.

Yeah I feel like sometimes for me I can get really caught up in the experience and my enjoyment will block out all this stuff, and then other times the technical stuff kind of ruins the experience. Especially as a casual fan, I’m just trying to figure out which of the two this would be more likely to swing—hence why I’d hope a concert that is more of an experience like with Kpop would be more likely to sweep me away. And multiple times when I was watching clips of their songs in concert I was tearing up, which is a good sign.

Have you been to a stadium tour/show of theirs? At this point, after doing some more thinking and research, I think my main deterrent for going is actually the venue itself more than the concert elements. If you’ve been to one I’ll probably have some more technical questions for you regarding that XD

Thank you so much again!! ❤️

[oohmymyang]

@i-prefer-the-term-antihero​ lmao it’s good to hear you weren’t turned off by my long ass response. 

As far as the noise goes, fancams and videos don’t really do it justice. It’s really loud and the base is strong even in the upper levels. (I had floor seats for the last tour and omg the bass was so strong the whole ground was vibrating). So yeah, I’m not sure how much the noise-cancelling headphones would work but it could probably block out enough noise,,, but it’s seriously super loud.

Ticketing, oh God, ticketing is a whole nightmare. There are three different sales going on for their US and Canada shows. (as of yesterday the only available option is the general ticketing tho :/)

1) Is the army membership presale. You sign up for this by using your order number from the army membership package, but like I said this is closed and in order to have done this one you would have needed an army membership (which are expensive as fuck *cries*) The code for this presale is given out today and the ticketing will start tomorrow at 3pm local time.

2) Second is the verified fan presale, but this one is also closed :/ this one was free to sign up and these presale tickets go up on Thursday 3 pm local time.

3) General ticket sales go up on Friday at 3pm local time.

There are a couple of things to note, Ticketmaster has recently changed the rules for purchasing tickets. You can only use one device, you can only be logged into one account, even if you’re using multiple accounts you can’t be using the same wifi, and you can’t use public wifi.

There’s been talk on twitter about the possibility of dynamic pricing as well :/ overall just super stressful.

There are other ways to get tickets tho, a few days after ticketing is over, Ticketmaster usually puts up resale tickets. And there are also websites like stubhub or seatgeek that sell tickets too. I used seatgeak for one of the concerts and managed to get floor seats for a little over face value price. You have to be careful with these tho because there’s a possibility of them being fake. 

I’m gonna do a read more lol:

Keep reading

[i-prefer-the-term-antihero]

@gillslikeafish XD I’m actually usually the one saying that to people, so It really is the opposite of a problem with me!

I see. :O Oh my….wow that is really really good to know. It definitely is the bass that bothers me the most so uhhh that might honestly be the deciding factor…If it’s enough to vibrate the ground I probably can’t handle that. Did it still vibrate on even the softer songs? Are there any videos you could send me to that do a better job of doing it justice?

Have you ever sat in the nosebleeds for one of their concerts? Do they have extra speakers up there or is it just the noise from the stage? What exactly is the noise level like in the upper levels?…like, i dont know, just any more detail would help me decide if it’ll be too much when up there. And they play recorded music before the show even starts, right? Is that just as loud or louder than the concert itself? (Like would I be fairly okay walking through the lower levels finding my seat upstairs before it starts… or is it just a constant onslaught of noise before it even begins?) Thank you so much for informing me.

Seems like it…Ohhh I see!! That’s super helpful, thank you so much.

Yeah, i heard that actually…Luckily that’s pretty much okay for me, but oh man, I hope people who are in school find a way to get tickets…that really sucks

Dynamic pricing?

Ahh yeah. I originally found out that the concert was coming because all the fake websites were advertising on instagram XD But they seemed like crazy expensive on the other sites compared to the actual prices…at least the ones i saw. Not sure if i looked at the sites you mentioned though. Whoa, you got well-priced floor seats that way?!?! Indeed. Is there any way to tell which sites sell fake tickets? I’m guessing there isn’t (that’s the whole point, of course) but if you have any information I’d be interested to hear it. I’ve gotten tickets to a show or two through those sites and it was always fine, but I always fear, and it’d be nice to have a list of no-go sites or something XD

Ahh awesome!! Oh i see ;/ Do they usually play older songs or newer songs at their concerts? Or both? (I thought bands did tours for new albums and sang songs mostly from those new albums, with one or two classics sprinkled in, but i really have no clue.)

Thank you!!

That makes sense!! That’s good at least

:D It seems that way!! Yeah i heard it was called a b0mb…why is that exactly? Just because it goes with the army name? Indeed XD

Ahh yeah I noticed those….I dont think that would be worth it for me either …But i was curious about them. I’ve paid for a couple VIP seatings but the most expensive one was like $200. …$400 and you dont actually get to meet them?? that’s uhh..a lot…. Why exactly is it worth paying that much for the sound check? Is it because it’s very few people and you’re essentially alone, compared to what it will be later? Do they run through the entire show during the sound check?

Ahh i see. That’s good! Nice!!

Oh phew!! Oh that’s nice!! I see! Cute!! Can you get old ones for cheaper off of eBay and such?

Also, you said the merch section was closed off and outside…Just to confirm, does that mean there aren’t any booths at all for their merch inside the stadium? If so, you can get merch before and after then? Which time is usually less crowded?

What kinds of other merch do they sell? I assume it’s just like t shirts and such but I’m curious.

That’s awesome!!!

:D Aww!! Wow, that’s so cool!! That’s wonderful!!

:D thank you so much again <3

Let’s see, well I asked you about the bass in the nosebleeds, which is currently my biggest question…

Would it be weird to ask how easy it is to run to the bathroom during the show? I’ve never been a sports person, so I’ve only ever been to a couple of baseball and soccer games, and those were very casual, we could run to the bathroom and/or grab hot dogs or whatever while the game is going. With this, you could miss an entire song or more running to the bathroom or to get food, not to mention the fact that people are standing, jumping etc. making it tough to get by. And i can’t remember the last time i sat up in the nosebleeds so I dont remember how far you have to go for a bathroom break…So yeah, how tough is that situation, if I may ask? Is there any sort of intermission? I assume there isn’t but it’s worth an ask.

I guess…are people, even in the upper levels, mostly standing throughout the whole concert?

I thought I had more but now i can’t think of them XD I’ll let you know if I remember more

[oohmymyang]

Hey @i-prefer-the-term-antihero​ ! The bass for the softer songs definitely wasn’t nearly as bad as the bass on their more “hype songs.” They have speakers throughout the stadium, but in my experience, the vibration in the upper levels isn’t as powerful as the vibration in the floor sections. Videos tend to be very blurry and full of screaming and so the vibration and bass doesn’t really get heard :/ 

The upper levels in my experience aren’t as bad as the noise in the lower levels. There are speakers up there but the closer you are to the stage, the louder it tends to be (this is just my experience tho, some other armys might think differently) 

Yup, they play music videos on the big screens before the concert starts, but they’re nowhere near as loud as the music during the actual concerts, they’ll also show the mandatory safety videos and what to do if there’s an emergency Armys use this time to find their seats and get something to eat or drink before the show starts. 

There are entrances you take  (if you get a ticket the entrance you have to take will be written on there) that will take you fairly close to where your seats are, so if you get a seat in the nosebleeds you won’t have to worry about having to walk through the lower levels where it’s louder. 

No problem! Some armys make jokes about not telling other fans or casual fans correct information so I’d like to help as much as possible and as accurately as I can! 

As of the membership presale yesterday, We’ve been informed that there will be no dynamic pricing, so you don’t have to worry about that!

Hey there @gillslikeafish!!

So sorry for the delay!! (I was planning on replying before last Friday and then after Friday passed I kind of lost momentum 😅 And then when I started drafting a response I basically was just repeating “that’s good!! Ahh that makes sense” and didn’t really have any more questions XD Since I didn’t have much to say I was going to send you a short direct message to thank you, but realized I couldn’t do that…so here we are…)

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so so SO much for all you help. I’ve made a couple posts like this in the past but never have I had someone give me such a wonderfully detailed response and I cannot thank you enough for all your help. (I was so astounded when I saw you gave me pictures of the merch, you really went the extra mile to help me 💙) As a detailed person who likes to give long responses myself, I always appreciate it when someone does that for me, all the more when it’s to give me actual information for something like this. So truly, thank you so very much

I’ll definitely be sure to ask you if any more questions come up!!

P.S. Can I ask what some of your favorite BTS songs are?

[oohmymyang]

@i-prefer-the-term-antihero​ I’m glad I was able to be of help! It means a lot to me that my super long responses didn’t turn you away. I, and many other armys, tend to be really long-winded when it comes to talking about the boys that it sometimes turns people away, but it comes from a good place, we’re just excited to talk about them! 

Of course! Some of my favorite songs are:

[i-prefer-the-term-antihero]

Hey!! I’m so sorry, I forgot to respond!!!

You were!! :D <3 I’m sorry to hear that sometimes turns people away. Like I said, I found it extremely helpful and refreshing. And It only makes sense you and other armies are excited to talk about the boys!! I feel like anyone would be long winded about things they’re excited about.

Thank you so much for the songs!! I’ll copy your list and make sure I put it somewhere more easily accessible XD

And it’s cool you put them in laid back vs hype categories!! Thats definitely something I really love about their songs too. They’re so diverse with their music. I feel like everyone could find a BTS song they liked!!

Ahh thank you so much!!

[oohmymyang]

It’s no problem at all! I’m always glad to help anyone curious about them if you have any more questions about the concert or just general info about the comeback and the boys feel free to ask me and I’ll answer the best I can. 

I love that too. The variety of genres they implement into their songs is really cool and I agree, there’s probably at least 1 BTS song that people would enjoy! Hope you like some of the ones I listed lol.

If you have any more questions, ask and I’ll do my best to answer! If you end up choosing to go to one of there shows, I hope you have fun!

[oohmymyang]

@i-prefer-the-term-antihero idk if you’re still curious about this, but I found a few clips and put them together from last tour. (Pls mind my horrendous screaming and bad attempts at singing along lol)

Keep in mind this is when I had floor seats so everything is much louder. Like I mentioned cameras don’t really capture all of the sound so the audio is really bleary.

This video is when the rapline performed Outro: Tear and in my opinion this is when the bass was the harshest, in the video you can hear it booming so loud the boy’s voices can’t even be heard at times. From what others tell me who went to the same show but weren’t on the floor like I was, they said that it wasn’t bad and that the bass wasn’t as strong from where they were and also that they could hear the boys better.

I asked some others who’ve had floor seats as well and the consensus is the same, it’s harder to hear the fanchants from the floor sections and it’s harder to hear the boys during bass heavy tracks like the one in the video.

If you’re still interested in going, taken into account your dislike of heavy bass and that you’re a casual fan, seats that are further away are the safest option.

I think you could see in the video, but there are really big screens that show the boys too so you’d still get a good view of them while performing, maybe even better, I’ve heard that some people who had barricade seats (the very very first row) couldn’t even see the boys because of how high the stage was! I had some difficulty too because even tho I wasn’t at the very front I’m still short lmao.

Yeah,,, this was just in case you were still interested!

[i-prefer-the-term-antihero]

Ahhhh this is very helpful, thank you!! This definitely captures the intensity of the bass better than many other videos. Though I can also definitely see better here, keeping in mind how you told me the bass felt, how video really can’t capture what it feels like to be there.

This definitely supports the argument for seats further back in multiple ways!! And that’s crazy some people in the front row couldn’t even see them...

Thank you again so much for all your help!!

[oohmymyang]

No problem! Glad that I could be of some help!

So yeah, I’m not sure how much the noise-cancelling headphones would work but it could probably block out enough noise,,, but it’s seriously super loud.

Ticketing, oh God, ticketing is a whole nightmare. There are three different sales going on for their US and Canada shows. (as of yesterday the only available option is the general ticketing tho :/)

1) Is the army membership presale. You sign up for this by using your order number from the army membership package, but like I said this is closed and in order to have done this one you would have needed an army membership (which are expensive as fuck *cries*) The code for this presale is given out today and the ticketing will start tomorrow at 3pm local time.

2) Second is the verified fan presale, but this one is also closed :/ this one was free to sign up and these presale tickets go up on Thursday 3 pm local time.

3) General ticket sales go up on Friday at 3pm local time.

There are a couple of things to note, Ticketmaster has recently changed the rules for purchasing tickets. You can only use one device, you can only be logged into one account, even if you’re using multiple accounts you can’t be using the same wifi, and you can’t use public wifi.

There’s been talk on twitter about the possibility of dynamic pricing as well :/ overall just super stressful.

There are other ways to get tickets tho, a few days after ticketing is over, Ticketmaster usually puts up resale tickets. And there are also websites like stubhub or seatgeek that sell tickets too. I used seatgeak for one of the concerts and managed to get floor seats for a little over face value price. You have to be careful with these tho because there’s a possibility of them being fake. 

I’m gonna do a read more lol:

@gillslikeafish XD I’m actually usually the one saying that to people, so It really is the opposite of a problem with me!

I see. :O Oh my....wow that is really really good to know. It definitely is the bass that bothers me the most so uhhh that might honestly be the deciding factor...If it’s enough to vibrate the ground I probably can’t handle that. Did it still vibrate on even the softer songs? Are there any videos you could send me to that do a better job of doing it justice?

Have you ever sat in the nosebleeds for one of their concerts? Do they have extra speakers up there or is it just the noise from the stage? What exactly is the noise level like in the upper levels?...like, i dont know, just any more detail would help me decide if it’ll be too much when up there. And they play recorded music before the show even starts, right? Is that just as loud or louder than the concert itself? (Like would I be fairly okay walking through the lower levels finding my seat upstairs before it starts... or is it just a constant onslaught of noise before it even begins?) Thank you so much for informing me.

Seems like it...Ohhh I see!! That’s super helpful, thank you so much.

Yeah, i heard that actually...Luckily that’s pretty much okay for me, but oh man, I hope people who are in school find a way to get tickets...that really sucks

Dynamic pricing?

Ahh yeah. I originally found out that the concert was coming because all the fake websites were advertising on instagram XD But they seemed like crazy expensive on the other sites compared to the actual prices...at least the ones i saw. Not sure if i looked at the sites you mentioned though. Whoa, you got well-priced floor seats that way?!?! Indeed. Is there any way to tell which sites sell fake tickets? I’m guessing there isn't (that’s the whole point, of course) but if you have any information I’d be interested to hear it. I’ve gotten tickets to a show or two through those sites and it was always fine, but I always fear, and it’d be nice to have a list of no-go sites or something XD

Ahh awesome!! Oh i see ;/ Do they usually play older songs or newer songs at their concerts? Or both? (I thought bands did tours for new albums and sang songs mostly from those new albums, with one or two classics sprinkled in, but i really have no clue.)

Thank you!!

That makes sense!! That’s good at least

:D It seems that way!! Yeah i heard it was called a b0mb...why is that exactly? Just because it goes with the army name? Indeed XD

Ahh yeah I noticed those....I dont think that would be worth it for me either ...But i was curious about them. I’ve paid for a couple VIP seatings but the most expensive one was like $200. ...$400 and you dont actually get to meet them?? that’s uhh..a lot.... Why exactly is it worth paying that much for the sound check? Is it because it’s very few people and you’re essentially alone, compared to what it will be later? Do they run through the entire show during the sound check?

Ahh i see. That’s good! Nice!!

Oh phew!! Oh that’s nice!! I see! Cute!! Can you get old ones for cheaper off of eBay and such?

Also, you said the merch section was closed off and outside...Just to confirm, does that mean there aren't any booths at all for their merch inside the stadium? If so, you can get merch before and after then? Which time is usually less crowded?

What kinds of other merch do they sell? I assume it’s just like t shirts and such but I’m curious.

That’s awesome!!!

:D Aww!! Wow, that’s so cool!! That’s wonderful!!

:D thank you so much again <3

Let’s see, well I asked you about the bass in the nosebleeds, which is currently my biggest question...

Would it be weird to ask how easy it is to run to the bathroom during the show? I’ve never been a sports person, so I’ve only ever been to a couple of baseball and soccer games, and those were very casual, we could run to the bathroom and/or grab hot dogs or whatever while the game is going. With this, you could miss an entire song or more running to the bathroom or to get food, not to mention the fact that people are standing, jumping etc. making it tough to get by. And i can’t remember the last time i sat up in the nosebleeds so I dont remember how far you have to go for a bathroom break...So yeah, how tough is that situation, if I may ask? Is there any sort of intermission? I assume there isn't but it’s worth an ask.

I guess...are people, even in the upper levels, mostly standing throughout the whole concert?

I thought I had more but now i can't think of them XD I’ll let you know if I remember more

[oohmymyang]

Hey @i-prefer-the-term-antihero​ ! The bass for the softer songs definitely wasn’t nearly as bad as the bass on their more “hype songs.” They have speakers throughout the stadium, but in my experience, the vibration in the upper levels isn’t as powerful as the vibration in the floor sections. Videos tend to be very blurry and full of screaming and so the vibration and bass doesn’t really get heard :/ 

The upper levels in my experience aren’t as bad as the noise in the lower levels. There are speakers up there but the closer you are to the stage, the louder it tends to be (this is just my experience tho, some other armys might think differently) 

Yup, they play music videos on the big screens before the concert starts, but they’re nowhere near as loud as the music during the actual concerts, they’ll also show the mandatory safety videos and what to do if there’s an emergency Armys use this time to find their seats and get something to eat or drink before the show starts. 

There are entrances you take  (if you get a ticket the entrance you have to take will be written on there) that will take you fairly close to where your seats are, so if you get a seat in the nosebleeds you won’t have to worry about having to walk through the lower levels where it’s louder. 

No problem! Some armys make jokes about not telling other fans or casual fans correct information so I’d like to help as much as possible and as accurately as I can! 

As of the membership presale yesterday, We’ve been informed that there will be no dynamic pricing, so you don’t have to worry about that!

Hey there @gillslikeafish!!

So sorry for the delay!! (I was planning on replying before last Friday and then after Friday passed I kind of lost momentum 😅 And then when I started drafting a response I basically was just repeating “that’s good!! Ahh that makes sense” and didn’t really have any more questions XD Since I didn’t have much to say I was going to send you a short direct message to thank you, but realized I couldn’t do that...so here we are...)

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so so SO much for all you help. I’ve made a couple posts like this in the past but never have I had someone give me such a wonderfully detailed response and I cannot thank you enough for all your help. (I was so astounded when I saw you gave me pictures of the merch, you really went the extra mile to help me 💙) As a detailed person who likes to give long responses myself, I always appreciate it when someone does that for me, all the more when it’s to give me actual information for something like this. So truly, thank you so very much

I’ll definitely be sure to ask you if any more questions come up!!

P.S. Can I ask what some of your favorite BTS songs are?

[oohmymyang]

@i-prefer-the-term-antihero​ I’m glad I was able to be of help! It means a lot to me that my super long responses didn’t turn you away. I, and many other armys, tend to be really long-winded when it comes to talking about the boys that it sometimes turns people away, but it comes from a good place, we’re just excited to talk about them! 

Of course! Some of my favorite songs are:

-Hold Me Tight

-Run

-Home

-Path/road

-Rain

-2!3!

-House of Cards

-Outro Her

-Fake Love

-GoGo

-Pied Piper

-Like and Like pt.2

-134340

-Love is Not Over

-Young Forever

-Paradise

-Singularity

-Stigma

-Jamais Vu

-Butterfly

-Just One Day

-The Truth Untold

-Whalien 52

-Spring Day

-Tomorrow

Those are all some of my favorite “chill” songs of theirs. I listen to those most often because I usually like to listen to softer/more laid back music that I can put on in the background while I’m doing something (like driving or work)

My favorite BTS song of all time tho is called Dead Leaves (it’s called Autumn Leaves on Spotify)

I like a lot of their “hype” track too, some of those that I really enjoy are:

-Mic Drop (the original version)

-Cypher 3 Killer, and Cypher 4

-No More Dream

-21st Century Girl

-Outro: Wings

-Boys With Fun

-Danger

-Ma City

-Dionysus 

-Baepsae

-Trivia: Just Dance

-Anpanman

-Ddaeng

-Outro: Tear

Really, they’ve explored many different genres throughout their discography! I love their music so much because of the variety, hopefully, you’ll like some of my favorites lol. 

Ah, this is off-topic, but last time you asked if I had videos of the bass during the concert and I managed to dig through my videos and find two short ones without too much of my screaming lol. For some reason, Tumblr won’t let me insert them here so I’ll try and send them another way.

[oohmymyang]

I got tickets to see BTS at MetLife I’m so happy 🥺
