PSA for all of the ARMYs out there, BTS is now on Disney+. Even after the seven man group of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Junkgook announced that they would be taking a break from the level of intense content and performances they have produced over their nearly decade long run, they are still delivering for fans everywhere.
Disney has announced that as part of their Disney+ Day celebrations, they will be dropping an exclusive concert movie titled BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA. The film focuses on the string of comeback concerts the band held between last November and December–it was their first return to the stage stateside since before the pandemic. Now, fans who attended and even those who didn't, have the chance to relive BTS's emotional reunion with the BTS ARMY.
In the promotional trailer, you can hear the BTS members gush about finally being with their American fans once again. Jimin kicks off the trailer with a very simple, "ARMY, we missed you!" Later on, you can hear other members begin to address the pandemic, their excitement for the concert, and more. Watch it for yourself below.
Disney+ day began at midnight Thursday, September 8. The day marks Disney's celebration of its streaming service and will lead into Disney's 2022 D23 Expo, set for September 9-11 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
For their Permission to Dance tour in LA last winter, BTS held a historic residency at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium for four nights, selling over 200,000 tickets and earning the sixth-highest grossing engagement in Billboard Boxscore history. This was their first official return to the stage in the US–they had previously performed their first post-pandemic concert in Seoul.
A few months later, in April, they sold out another four-show residency, this time in Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium. Since then, in person performances by the band, especially here in the US, have been limited and since their announcement back in June that they were taking a break to pursue more solo projects, an in-person BTS concert soon seemed highly unlikely. However, the group as a whole and ARMY will reunite once again this October, this time in Busan, South Korea for the group's Yet To Come concert.
As ambassadors for the World Expo 2030 in Busan, South Korea, BTS will kick things off with a free, in-person concert for around 100,000 people at the Busan Ilgwang special stage in Gijang-gun, Busan. An in-person live broadcast LIVE PLAY will also hold approximately 10,000 people at Busan Port International Passenger Terminal Outdoor Parking Lot and an online livestream for fans all over will also be available.
Of course, fans all over are already anticipating seeing the group together once again, but whether you'll be attending the group's Busan concert in person or online, you can gear up the excitement by watching BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA on Disney Plus.
