[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Idol group BTS met with fans from around the world through their first in-person concert in two years at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (LA), USA.

On the 27th (local time) in LA, USA, BTS's in-person concert "Permission To Dance On Stage - LA" was held. Fans began gathering around SoFi Stadium from the day before, and long lines formed in front of merchandise shops selling T-shirts and fans.

Entry to the concert began around 5:30 PM after sunset. Fans entered the venue one by one after passing through security checks, but the process was slower than expected because security personnel had to inspect each person's belongings. Additionally, according to SoFi Stadium's security regulations, fans were only allowed to carry transparent bags that allowed contents to be seen.

Fans gathered at the venue cheered enthusiastically whenever BTS appeared on the big screen, waving their light sticks in rhythm to create waves. About 20 minutes later than the scheduled time, around 7:50 PM, BTS appeared on stage, greeted by cheers from the fans. BTS continued the concert by performing hit songs such as "Fire" and "DNA" consecutively.

Outside the venue, fans who were unable to get concert tickets were seen enjoying the music. They danced and raised their arms to the songs flowing from inside the stadium, sharing in the concert atmosphere.

BTS's concert will be held four times in total on the 27th and 28th of this month, and the 1st and 2nd of next month. BTS sold out nearly 50,000 seats per show, demonstrating their unwavering popularity, and their agency Big Hit Music enabled fans to enjoy the concert in real-time on a large screen at the 6,400-seat YouTube Theater.
