The Korea Times reported that authorities tightened security, raised the terrorism advisory level to \u201ccaution,\u201d and used metal detectors, drone jammers, and AI-based CCTV monitoring to manage the crowd.The group opened the show with \u2018Body to Body.\u2019 The performance ended with \u201cfive women in traditional Korean attire closing out the vocals in a Korean folk style,\u201d linking the comeback to Korean cultural imagery. BTS then moved into \u2018Hooligan\u2019 and \u20182.0,\u2019 wearing black hip-hop inspired outfits under red stage lights. RM performed seated during part of the segment because of his injury.<\/p>\n Before the concert, Suga wrote on Weverse, \u201cHello, everyone. We\u2019re working hard with the members to show you a good performance!\u201d He also told fans, \u201cI miss you. See you soon!\u201d Jungkook shared his own message ahead of the event, writing, \u201cWe\u2019ll do our best on stage today! Let\u2019s all meet safely and have a fun and happy time.\u201dOn stage, BTS greeted fans with, \u201cHello, we are BTS,\u201d and thanked them for waiting. Jungkook added, \u201cWe have something special tonight.

RM said the group wanted to make songs that felt true to them after spending two months in Los Angeles working on music. Suga said there were long conversations behind the album and that the goal was to show the honest side of all seven members. Jimin told fans, \u201cWe are just like you, scared and worried all the time. Despite that, the seven of us want to accept those feelings and keep swimming together.\u201dThat theme carried through the performance of \u2018Swim\u2019 and into the final stretch of the show. BTS closed the night with \u2018Mikrokosmos,\u2019 thanked ARMY for their support, and asked fans to get home safely after the concert.<\/div>\nBTS comeback concert in Seoul and Netflix live stream<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
