original post: here

1. I just saw another post with fans complaining after the concert because they only used AR and you could even hear the AR so loudly… I’m not saying they can’t sing live

2. Were they just going to a different stage?

3. The song is so upbeat ㅠㅜ but the fact that there were no performance is so disappointing

4. The Lotte World parade puts more effort than them in their choreography… 

5. It feels like the way idols perform after an award show after winning a Daesang. Why did they remove the choreography 

6. Its like I’m attending some parade. Don’t tell me they just kept on going in circles like that right?

7. Wasn’t BTS famous for their performances…? I remember their dances were more intense during Boy With Luv days 

8. They cut down on the performance because it was raining today. Let’s wait and see what will happen to their 2nd concert

9. What’s the fun in watching their concert if there’s no performance?

10. What a waste of money 

[instiz] WOW SO BANG SIHYUK WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED TO REMOVE ALL CHOREOGRAPHY FROM BTS’ STAGE 

“First, it was necessary to completely let go of existing success formulas. When the choreography was not finalized until late in the work, tired members came to me and expressed disappointment, asking why I did not provide a clear direction.
Until then, I had intentionally refrained from intervening, respecting the members’ vision in areas outside of music. However, after that conversation, I decided to step in directly and reset everything.
I discarded all existing choreography proposals.
In particular, songs like ‘Swim’ or ‘Hooligan’ were revised to be so minimal that it felt like there was almost no choreography. The members even raised questions about whether this was truly a BTS-style method.
I answered like this…”

“You already have an aura that can dominate the stage just by existing. For artists like you, even standing still can be a sufficient performance. The intense choreography you showed in the past can sometimes hide the music itself. Following the same method that you established yourself, and that the next generation is now following, does not fit your current weight and status. If you have decided to open a new chapter, you must show a new kind of performance where the music can be heard completely.”

It took nearly two weeks to try both methods, repeat them, compare them, and experience the difference, and only then did the members begin to fully understand.

At the same time, a new benchmark was needed to meet the expectations of fans who think of powerful, sharp synchronized dancing when they think of BTS. It was felt that simply repeating the sophisticated, synchronized choreography of the existing K-pop style established by BTS was not enough. Instead, a performance was needed that declared “This is BTS’s class” while opening a new horizon for K-pop choreography.

1. How much seniority BTS has that they’re still blaming everything on Bang Sihyuk?

2. I bet if they didn’t get the criticism following the concert, they wouldn’t be blaming Bang Sihyuk 

3. I also f*cking hate Bang Sihyuk, but I thought that with BTS’ seniority, they would be able to have a say in their own performance 

4. Aren’t BTS known to have opinions in the way they produce work? 

5. They really lost their touch 

6. Why is Bang Sihyuk so bad at having tact?

7. I bet they thought it was the trend nowadays, but they couldn’t predict the backlash 

8. I thought they removed the choreography because of the rain?

9. No tact 

10. Still I would’ve loved to see more choreography from BTS, they’re known to have synchronized dancing no?
