BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage Online Concert (Part 2)

(Warning: This post is long and photo-heavy.)

Second half of BTS' Permission to Dance: On Stage Online Concert was a mix of party bangers, B-sides from BE, and some nostalgic classics. (I posted about the first half of the show here.)

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Epilogue: Young Forever"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Epilogue: Young Forever"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Epilogue: Young Forever"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Spring Day"

Of course, the encore just put us right in our feels. Two classics: "Epilogue: Young Forever" and "Spring Day." They've been bringing back "Spring Day" into live performances over the past year so it's been less surprising (I mean, "Spring Day" is still the queen), but I was actually pretty surprised at "Epilogue: Young Forever." Almost makes up for the fact that they have yet to perform "Paradise" or "Sea" live. (One day, it will happen. I have faith.)

BTS Permission to Dance: On Stage — "Permission to Dance"

Finally, "Permission to Dance." They named the entire concert after this song, after all. A fun, uplifting song with a hopeful, optimistic message — the perfect way to end this online concert and leading up to the offline concerts they'll be having in LA over the next month. They also made an announcement at the end of the show: they will be livestreaming the December 2 show in LA! So for those of us who couldn't take the time off work or couldn't get tickets, this is just delightful news. I was starting to get serious FOMO, too.
