BTS Live

I arrived about two hours before the venue doors were even to be opened thinking that that was enough time. And sure, it was for: making your way to general parking, walking from the golf course to the stadium, finding Anna-cubed with my ticket and standing in line for a bathroom. Understandably this is due to the fan's demographic being primarily female, but anywhere I go the lines for the restroom is always so damn long like...do your business, wash your hands, and get). My only goal was to get some merch; I didn't care if everything else sold out, I just needed an Army bomb. I would be damned if I didn't have a light stick in my hand to fall in formation. So off I went to try and find the shortest merchandise line at the venue. Ha. I had my choice between the one that extended from the back entrance of the stadium, winding through the golf course and all the way to the parking lot, or the one that was near the front entrance wrapped around porter-potties. I settled for the one between that by some miracle, the second time I passed it managed to look significantly smaller. It was probably the fact that I was too tired to even try and settled for the small patches of shade it provided. By the time I got what I wanted, the gates had already opened and I made my way to the seemingly never ending line to enter the stadium. Suddenly, like the cries from the Greek Gods, I heard a security guard ask if there was anyone who didn't have anything to check in as there was an "express line". Bitch, that was me! My jean jacket was my purse and all I had was my light stick, phone and wallet, so all I had to do was walk through and be that much closer to Bangtan.
I managed to find my seat and relax a bit before it got too crowded. The overall ambiance and experience was really too much for me to even begin to describe in my mediocre blog post. I sat next to some ARMYS that were just as excited as I was (the one to my right was a Namjoon-stan so every time that beautiful man came up, she was screaming, I was screaming, the mothers behind me were screaming..he is just killing it, every. damn. comeback) and by the time it was over I don't even know why they sold seats since no one sat down for the entire three hour duration. You could've hosted this concert in the pits of hell and I'm sure it still would've sold out. I was too in awe of it all, and focused so much on enjoying the show rather than being one of those fans glued to their cameras, that I didn't manage to take very good photos of the boos. This is no shot to those types of concert goers because a bitch loves famcams. I couldn't watch any clips of Musters or various liver performances without those fans. But really, after looking through my camera roll, the majority of the pictures were just of the crowds and all the ARMYs that showed up. I was really just amazed at the level and mass of support these boys garner; I saw proud parents repping their "Army Dad/Mom" shirts, children and teens, adults dolled up in BTS21 inspired outfits (there was a beautiful ARMY who was decked out in a Tata-esque outfit and I am so mad I showed up in jeans like a normie), foreign fans passing out stickers or goodie bags just for the hell of it. I was living for the diversity. And moreover, I'm so used to the mass being little numbers that account for millions of views on a video come Comeback season that I guess when I looked around me, surrounded by all the actual fans, it was breathtaking. So all the hitches aside, what a great fuckin' night. |

Bonus: Here's a crappy photo of Hobi right before he hits that fatal hip thrust in "Baepsae". You're welcome; if my photo snapping skills were on point and this image were any more Hi-Def, you'd all be dead and suffering. I took this crappy picture of a beautiful man for ya'll.
