BTS successfully completed the first performance of "BTS WORLD TOUR "ARIRANG" at Goyang Stadium's main stadium on the 9th and 11th to 12th. About 132,000 spectators gathered on a total of three occasions. Live Viewing, which is simultaneously broadcasted live at movie theaters in major countries/regions around the world, was held, and audiences from 194 countries/regions joined through online streaming of global superfan platform Weverse.

The concert hall was spectacular with about 44,000 spectators per episode, centering on a 360-degree open stage that was open on all sides. The stages of the songs from the fifth studio album "ARIRANG," which contains the roots and identity of BTS, were harmonized with Korean production and embodied like a work of art. In the center of the stage, a pavilion reinterpreted Gyeonghoeru was installed, and the distance from the audience was narrowed with a protruding stage designed with the motif of the Geonggongamri of the Taegeukgi.

The performance overwhelmed the audience with an unconventional production that exceeded expectations. It was special from the opening. A BTS appeared in the masked crowd that poured out with smoke bombs. They immediately turned the stadium into a festival venue by performing the new songs "Hooligan" and "Alien." On the stage of "Run BTS," member Jungkook grabbed a flying drone camera with his hand and scanned the stage from a first-person perspective, delivering the vivid heat of the scene to online viewers. After the opening, the members released an album called 'Arirang' and toured after about four years. ARMY (fandom name) I can hear your voices really well today," he said, announcing the start of the performance with an overwhelming voice.

The stage, which combines Korean sentiment and modern sense, also stood out. In "they don't know" 'bout us', images of reinterpreted traditional masks were displayed on video equipment containing dancers, adding to the mystery. The title song "SWIM" used a large cloth like a wave, and "Merry Go Round," which had a splendid trajectory of Seungmu, also stole the attention. In "NORMAL", the silhouettes of the members on the LED spread like an ink-and-wash painting, peaking in Korean beauty.

The stage created by breathing with tens of thousands of audiences was spectacular. In "FAKE LOVE," the overwhelming cheering that seemed to engulf the stadium gave a thrill. The atmosphere of the performance reached its peak as "Not Today," "MIC Drop," "FYA," and "FIRE" were held in succession. In particular, when the intense prelude of "MIC Drop" rang out, the crowd of 40,000 people burst out like an explosion. The performance of the new song "Body to Body" incorporating the folk song "Arirang" was also overwhelming. The performance reminiscent of Kang Gang-sullae combined with the singing of Arirang from audiences around the world and a colorful wave of cheering sticks to create a strange scene. In "IDOL", the members followed the track throughout the stadium, making eye contact with the audience one by one, and continued to heat up with global hits such as "Butter" and "Dynamite." The colorful fireworks continued to cut through the night sky, completing a fantastic festival.

At the end of the performance, BTS said, "Thank you for your sincere support. I'm showing a lot of changes under the name 'BTS 2.0', but most importantly, it hasn't changed. The fact that seven people have decided to do this together and I mean it to you. We will always be humbled without taking this space lightly for a moment, so please trust us and watch us generously." Then, as he raised a big temple, he said, "There are many stages to show in the future. I will be a singer who rewards you with various and wonderful performances," he said.

The performance ended with 'Please' and 'Into the Sun' in a deep lingering mood. BTS, which successfully anchored the tour, will continue to perform 85 times in Tokyo, Japan, and 34 cities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia from April 17-18.
