[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The group BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) will take the stage in Seoul for the first time in two and a half years.

BTS will hold 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - SEOUL' at the Jamsil Sports Complex Main Stadium in Seoul at 7 p.m. on the 10th. This is their first domestic concert in two and a half years since October 2019.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism approved a capacity of 15,000 per show, expecting a total of 45,000 attendees over three days. This is the largest scale in the country since the pandemic.

Like the previous Los Angeles (LA) concert, a large LED screen will be installed for this concert as well. To enhance vividness, a variable 'mobile LED' capable of switching up, down, front, and back will be placed in the center, maintaining the maximum size while creating differentiated scenes.

The agency revealed, "The setlist will vary slightly for each show, and stages not shown in the LA concert will also be presented."

RM (Kim Namjoon) expressed through Big Hit Music on the 10th, "I feel nervous yet calm," adding, "Since there will be no cheering or standing ovations, we will work even harder to show good energy."

Jin (Kim Seokjin) said, "I remember the first concert at the Jamsil Main Stadium. I think I will feel that same feeling again on the first day of this concert. As always, I will do my best and work hard." Suga (Min Yoongi) said, "I am excited for the concert after two and a half years. Just being able to perform in Korea makes me happy. We prepared hard, so please enjoy it."

J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) said, "It’s been a long time, so I can’t predict what emotions I will feel. I think my feelings will become clear once I stand in front of the fans. One thing is certain: I am really excited. It feels like when we debuted, performing in front of fans for the first time. I will do my best on stage with this feeling," showing his determination.

Jimin (Park Jimin) said, "I feel good to meet fans directly in Korea after a long time, but I’m also a bit nervous. I want to show the stage we prepared hard as soon as possible. Please look forward to it."

V (Kim Taehyung) said, "It’s been a long time since the last concert, so I wanted to invite all the ARMYs who waited, but I’m sorry I couldn’t. I want to cherish each song and put all of myself into the performance."

Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) added, "I’m worried because there will be no cheering, but since it’s been a long time meeting ARMYs, I will release all my energy with all my strength to make up for the time we haven’t seen each other."

'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - SEOUL' is part of the 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' series following last October’s online concert and the LA concert. As it is a face-to-face concert held in Seoul after a long time, BTS is determined to present an upgraded version of the performance.

The core highlight of this concert, focused on the 'meeting' between BTS and fans along with the message in the song 'Permission to Dance'?which includes the lyrics "You don’t need permission to dance"?is the moment when the message in the song is realized in Seoul.

BTS’s Seoul concerts will also be held on the 12th and 13th. Additionally, online live streaming will be available on the global fandom community platform Weverse on the first day (10th) and the last day (13th), while the second day (12th) performance will be simultaneously screened in cinemas in over 60 countries and regions worldwide through 'live viewing.'
