The group BTS has once again introduced the beauty of Korea to the world with good influence.
On the 26th, Global Citizen, an international anti-poverty social movement group, held a large-scale live event called ‘Global Citizen Live’. BTS became the first runners in the performance and sang ‘Permission to Dance’, opening the door to a mega event around the world. The ‘Permission to Dance’ performance, set against the backdrop of the National Treasure Sungnyemun, was a stage where the beauty of traditional Korean architecture and liveliness of live music stood out.
Here, a stage set made with logos and colors that symbolize global citizens caught the attention of the world as it harmonized with Sungnyemun. The stage set was made in a circular shape to convey the beauty of Sungnyemun to the world, and traditional Korean patterns were also used in the stage structure and floor design. In particular, it was filmed at night, and numerous lights lit up Sungnyemun to create a spectacular scene.
From the beginning to the end of the performance, BTS raised the heat of ‘Global Citizen Live’ with a bright expression and lively appearance. In the second half of the song, 40 dancers appeared in front of the stage and, together with BTS, presented a choreography using international sign language meaning ‘fun’, ‘dance’, and ‘peace’, bringing liveliness and grandeur at the same time.
‘Global Citizen Live’ was held as part of the Global Citizen Campaign to protect the global environment and eradicate poverty. In the 24-hour live broadcast that day, starting with BTS, who performed in Seoul, artists, activists, and leaders from various fields appeared in New York (Central Park), Paris (Mars Square), Dubai, London, Los Angeles, Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, etc. Various contents such as performances will be presented on stages in symbolic places of major cities on each continent.
‘Global Citizen Live’ is a different version of the 24-hour live broadcast, and will be broadcast on the US ABC channel at 8:00 am (Korean time) on the 27th.
