BTS 'Yet To Come' FULL CONCERT REACTION (part 2 of 2)

To clear up a bit of confusion, titles like main and lead vocalist/rapper/dancer mean something a little different in Kpop. Main indicates the one who is generally considered to have the best technique and therefore will handle the parts that are most challenging or complex including harmonies and ad-libs. They don’t necessarily have the most lines. Leads will support the main and are the ones more often than not leading and guiding the song. With BTS these distinctions were much more prevalent in their early years, but they have all grown so much the titles are really more formality at this point not a rule book

On it's own IDOL is such a hype song, the energy in concert bumps up to levels of insanity. You can be dead on your feet from everything that came before, but as soon as IDOL starts playing everyone collectively loses their minds and gets a second wind

I'm still watching so there will probably be at least one one more comment from me, but I had to jump in for Ma City. Jimin and Jungkook are the only two from Busan. Other locations mentioned are hometowns of other members. Like Suga bringing up that "his birth is Daegu's pride", Suga is from Daegu. That's what D-boy means there

RM said Jungkook was the main singer of the group and center early in their career. They evolved past having strict roles

Thank you so much for this Tim! I think digging into the solo stuff would be a great idea, alongside group tracks as you get to know them better. You’ll get a bit of whiplash moving between member solos though since they are all VERY different. BTS concerts are great at keeping up an insane energy through the opening and whole concert pretty much (with an occasional break like Butterfly) and then winding down with feel-good crying time lol. I’m tired, you’re tired, let’s sing Young Forever and Spring Day now. There’s definitely a lot of love in the room, and I’m so glad it came through over video.

A note on the confusion about the main vocalist role: it’s not so much that he has the most parts, but more that Jungkook is a vocal “rock” on stage, I think. He has very good stability at singing and dancing at the same time so he takes a lot of high energy chorus lines, and will pretty frequently start a song off because he has perfect pitch. Jungkook is also always ALWAYS doing embellishments and harmonies on stage—he is often the vocal double on rap parts or other vocal line parts. This goes for credits for background vocals on official tracks as well. The man loves to sing haha. Each of the members has a role like it, and it’s just where they tend to provide extra support in the production process and on stage. Just like j-hope is a main dancer and so leads a lot of dance practices and learns choreo first. I will add that the positions are very loose though and honestly don’t matter too much (I think) especially as they’ve gotten older.

i think they all get gritty at one point or another, you’ll hear a lotttt more of it in their first couple of albums and V especially was very very gritty in his voice back then! (Ma City for example was more of a throwback song they played amongst some newer ones and it had a very unique grittier vibe compared to those songs immediately before!)

one moment i always think of in reference to the love between bts and army is when a few years ago during ending speeches at a concert, RM said “it feels like ive used you guys to learn how to love myself so i wanna say one thing: please use me, use bts to love yourself” and that sentiment + a million other instances of them talking about army makes it feel so clear that these guys actually do love us as fans in a meaningful way that impacts them as much as it impacts us

Yay! Part 2! Can’t watch until tomorrow, but I’m looking forward to it
