The concert was absolutely amazing!! As you can see above, there is a slideshow with some pictures taken by my friend, Erin, who came with me to the concert, so be sure to look through those after reading this post!
We got to the venue around 2:30 and there were already a ton of people there, but not as many as we had been expecting since people tend to camp out for their concerts, like, three days in advance. The first thing we did was buy the new concert lightsticks and the staff synced them to our seats so that they would change colors along with everyone else’s based on what song they were performing at the time. After spending about 30 minutes just walking around the merchandise area, we went inside to hang out where it was cooler and went straight to a little cafe to get drinks and snacks. I was sitting there drinking my Sprite when my other friend that came along, Catie, started hitting me on the arm and telling me to be quiet and listen. We could hear the boys’ soundcheck! So we gathered up all of our things and went to sit as close to the doors as we could so we could hear them. We heard them practice Fake Love twice, Mic Drop, DNA, Run, and The Truth Untold, and they sounded beautiful! I took some videos to remember the moment, so here’s one of them:
They finally had us line up around 4:45, separating us into 8 lines on the side of the venue we were on. My friends and I were first in line in our line because we didn’t hesitate to jump up and move to where the employee told us as soon as they said it was time to line up. While waiting in line, we got into a conversation with a girl and her dad behind us. We were trying to educate him about the group while he was telling us about how different concerts were ‘back in his day’.
They scanned our tickets around 5:30, and after a fight with the scanner because it was faulty and wasn’t wanting to scan our tickets, we finally made it inside the hall and to our seats. We were in section 303, row 9, seats 4 through 6, and we actually had a pretty great view of the boys. They spent the two and a half hours leading up to the concert playing their music videos and we were all screaming and singing along. I’m sure the boys could hear us backstage lol.
They did absolutely amazing with the dancing, singing, and rapping, and anyone who dares to accuse them of lip syncing has obviously never seen a performance of theirs, because it was all completely live.
Jimin messed up during The Truth Untold and looked so disappointed in himself and I feel so sad thinking about it because I know he went backstage and cried as soon as the song was over. I just wanna hug him and tell him that it’s okay and that he still did amazing.
The boys English has also improved so much since their last tour in America and I’m so proud of them.
I also can’t forget how my friends and I nearly died after seeing Jimin and Jungkook’s abs within 30 seconds of each other, both completely unexpected.
Basically the concert was amazing, so you should definitely check out the fancams from the night!
