Unboxing: BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final] Digital Code Box Set

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

So, BigHit decided to release the box set for BTS' BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final] three years later.

Initially, BTS World Tour: Love Yourself began on August 25, 2018, comprising of 42 arena shows across 20 cities globally. They added a stadium extension to the tour, called BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' that began on May 4, 2019, and concluded on October 29, 2019. (I went to four shows during this tour: Hamilton on September 23, 2018; Newark on September 29, 2018; and East Rutherford on May 18 and May 19, 2019.) In total, this tour was comprised of 62 concerts in 14 countries. "The Final" refers to the last three dates of BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' that were held at Seoul Olympic Stadium in Seoul on October 26 - 27 and 29, 2019.

This set is available in three formats: DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Code. Note that the actual video content of the set is the same across all formats, but each physical set includes different items. I decided on the Digital Code format which enables streaming the video content through Weverse on PC, tablet, or phone, rather than using an external disc drive. On Weverse Shop Global, the DVD format retails for ₩49,000 or $45.52 USD each, whereas the Blu-ray and Digital Code formats retail for ₩59,000 or $54.81 USD each. This post will cover the Digital Code set only.

The BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final] Digital Code set is packaged in a purple outer box with light grey accents. (The packaging design of this set follows the previous two set releases from BTS World Tour: 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself', Sao Paulo and London.) The contents of this set are as follows:

This set comes with a 192-page photo book that highlights all of the stages during the concert, including group, sub-group, and solo performances, as well as encore and backstage.

It also comes with a tri-folded, double-sided banner poster (one side is a panoramic photo of Seoul Olympic Stadium filled with ARMYs, and the other side features three photos of the members holding each day's fan banners); a set of seven member photo bookmarks (previous sets for this tour only came with one randomized member bookmark); and a randomized member photocard (previous sets for this tour didn't include a photocard).

As I pre-ordered from Weverse Shop, I also got the pre-order gifts specific to the Digital Code set, which was one unreleased group photo ticket set (a double-sided "ticket" and holder), and one unreleased lenticular group photo stand.

Note that the full concert footage in this set is the same as the livestream for Day 1 of BTS World Tour 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final], which was available for purchase in October 2019 through BTS' V Live channel. If you had purchased that stream before, then you will also have the VOD available to you to watch any time, now on Weverse. (As Naver's V Live is being discontinued, you will have to transfer your account information from V Live to Weverse — it takes about 2 minutes, and all your purchased content will move automatically to Weverse.) However, the VOD does not include the bonus video content that is included in this set.

To be honest, I don't think BigHit originally had plans to release this as a physical set at all, just given that it was already released as a paid livestream event three years ago. Not to mention that this set was released after the Map of the Soul ON:E set, which took place one year later than 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final]. While this set was probably released as a cash-grab, it is great for those who didn't or couldn't purchase the livestream/VOD of BTS World Tour 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself' [The Final] when it was originally available in 2019, and for us collectors who actually wanted a physical box set (and bonus content!).
