Permission to dance, breaking the iron bars as if expressing the title of this performance that no permission is required to dance, BTS appears on the stage.

As more than 50,000 fans poured out cheers all at once, the gigantic football stadium, the performance hall, shook.

All of them are wearing masks, but the ARMYs, who filled the seats, responded enthusiastically with such great shouts and sangs throughout the two-hour performance.

[지민/BTS 멤버 : (어제 공연에서) 막상 (팬들을) 마주했을 때 막 즐기지 못했던 것 같아서 계속해서 아쉬움만 남아 있어서 오늘은 좀 마음 편히 즐길 수 있도록 해볼 생각입니다.]

To a foreign correspondent’s question, how can you remain humble even though you have reached the top of the world?

[RM/BTS 멤버 : (저희 성공의) 절반은 아미 덕분이고, 저희 멤버들은 각각 5%씩 기여했다고 생각합니다. 저희의 성공은 저희만의 것이 아닙니다. 저는 언제나 이런 점을 생각하며 살고 있어서 들뜨지 않고 겸손할 수 있는 것 같습니다.]

The outside of the performance also drew attention.

The audience is just entering.

In addition to tickets, you will need these vaccine certificates and your ID to enter the venue.

ARMYs are encouraging each other to keep order while sharing this safety procedure, which can be a bit complicated, and this fan culture is also becoming a hot topic in America.

[티파니/관람객: 저희 아미들은 방역을 정말 중요하게 생각합니다. 또 서로가 서로에게 친절하게 구는 것도 중요하게 생각해요. 그래서 제가 오늘 밤에 여기 나와 있는 것도 마음이 편해요.]

With two more performances left, BTS will broadcast their concerts live online, especially on the last day for fans around the world.
