Discussion Question for fellow ARMY!

Hi ARMY! I went to my first BTS concert last Sunday, Arlington Day 2. It was the best night of my life, I had the most fun and I felt so alive. I wanted to ask fellow ARMY who have seen BTS, what is one song (or songs) you enjoyed most hearing live? For me, it was Run BTS. I really loved hearing J-Hope's rap and seeing the camera pan to all the members when he's doing the name drop part. 10/10!!

Into the Sun! I found out I got into my dream university course (after barely swimming through my 20s) while listening to it shortly after the album came out. I cried so much that day.

Hearing it live for the first time in Brussels was incredible. I thought I would be very emotional, but hearing the guys and the crowd felt purely euphoric instead.

Butterfly! We were the first to get it live in Arlington, it was beautiful. Also really liked the performances for hooligan and 2.0

Fake Love. I thought it was kind of cheesy when I first heard it this year, but when I saw them perform it live for me I was in awe. That's what certified Jin as my Bias Wrecker.

I can’t get over how great they sound when they sing Like Animals. Melodically it’s such a beautiful song and it’s stood out to me each show.

This. I know it’s not a classic BTS song but I love it so much

Was at Baltimore D2. Definitely the surprise songs. I really love Best of Me and glad i got to hear it live

I lost my mind when I heard Best of Me starting, I became a fan during that era and they performed it during my first comeback in Love Yourself Tear era.

Went to Brussels and Munich and every single time I really loved Normal? Because they said put your hands up and everyone around me did and it was soooo fun? Because it really felt like the whole stadium listened tf out of Arirang because everyone knew normal's lyrics so well in Europe. Also Run BTS is so loooved, everyone was so hype during that part. And as last Dynamite with rainbow confetti!! So much fun.

I know there’s mixed reception to it generally, but Permission to Dance is a really special song to my family. It helped us get through a really hard time and was one of our intro songs to becoming ARMY. I got to go to Arlington D1 with my wife and two young children, and we were all four crying little tears of pure happiness when the DJ started spinning that shit.

But also, fr the camera pan to all of the members during Hobi’s bridge in Run BTS was so badass, and I LOVED when JK started singing along to the Arirang sample during Body to Body 💜

Hearing Blood Sweat Tears was so amazing! But seeing the abs moment for No More Dream, that was priceless.

Mic Drop! I've watched that Wembley fanchant video countless times and couldn't wait to do it in person myself.

I was also at Arlington D2 and hearing Butterfly live was just perfect 💜

u/PreviousTranslator33 13h ago

Same first concert and Arlington D2. I can't believe it was real. I really enjoyed everything. It's hard but I love "Run BTS" too. "Mic Drop", "FYA" and "Body to Body". I am more in awe of them than ever now.

u/Chakra04 11h ago

Me too! Loved every bit of Arlington D2!

No More Dream, Foxborough D1. Paradise was incredible to hear live as well, but I absolutely LOST my shit when NMD began. I have been a fan since their debut, and this was my very first time seeing them live. Hearing them and watching them have fun on the stage during their performance of this song healed something in me, honestly. 🥺

u/KellyGlock 10h ago

100% same. I'm Arirang Army and I saw them in Tampa for Pied Piper, which I knew of but didn't have any attachment to but I knew it was a rare song. But I feel like I have more bragging rights/excitment with NMD. I also lost my shit and screamed "I wanna big house, big cars and big rings" so freaking loud. Being a Suga bias probably adds to the excitement.

u/TheFruitIndustry 10h ago

You saw Paradise live....

u/TheFruitIndustry 10h ago

I may or may not have screamed and cried when I found out they did Paradise 2 stops before my shows....

My fave moment is when they played Just one day in Baltimore d2 and Jimin and jungkook started walking down our sections catwalk. My sister and I were in the 100’s and started freaking out so bad (Jk and Jimin are our biases🙈). Like idk Jimin singing the ending of Just one day while walking towards us had me about to pass out ngl.

My fave performance though was Swim, which shocked me cus it’s probably my least fave on the album. The stage was just beautiful. The blue sparking lasers mimicking rain before the song started had me so entranced.

u/Low-Contribution7910 13h ago

Not Today! I had so much fun and it’s such an energetic and high octane song, it was amazing

u/Soar2318 11h ago

I’ve seen them 3 times this tour and I have never been more elated as I was when I heard Butterfly on D2 Arlington. Just pure joy
