"The band performed a free concert in Seoul's historic Gwanghwamun Square, showcasing their new album 'Arirang,' which folds the melody and mythology of a 600-year-old folk song into an EDM call to the dancefloor."
"During 'Body to Body,' the camera pans to pansori singers who lead the crowd through the historical ballad, while j-hope crows that it feels like it's brand new on 2.0, a rap-forward assertion of strength for the group's new era."
"Hooligan makes a provocative call for better pop over a beat that sounds like knives sharpening, while the revved-up, bass-heavy FYA promises to be an incendiary live favourite when their 82-date world tour rolls into London this summer."
"Lead single 'Swim' is mellow and sultry by comparison, with fluid choreography that underscores the song's message of perseverance better than its stylish, perfume advert-adjacent music video."
BTS performed a free concert in Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul, marking their first live performance in four years. The concert streamed live to 190 countries, featuring their new album 'Arirang' that blends traditional melodies with modern EDM. The group showcased eight new tracks, including 'Body to Body' and 'Hooligan,' demonstrating their evolution and confidence. The performance highlighted their growth during a break for military service and personal reflection on their musical identity, with a focus on themes of perseverance and strength.
