On Saturday, the guts of Seoul was a sea of purple.
It was splashed throughout landmarks, towering billboards, large screens on high-rises, posters, masks and t-shirts. It was within the show of drone lights on the Han River.
The motive for it was unattainable to overlook.
“Welcome back BTS,” a banner on a 7-Eleven declared, surrounded by the K-pop act’s signature color. The world’s greatest band was returning to the stage – after a break of greater than three years due to obligatory army service.
“BTS is everything for us,” says Veronica, who alongside with her buddy Amanda flew in from the US to catch Saturday’s present.
The concert was but to start. Members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook had not made an look, however already, BTS was in every single place.
The megastars of pop have been again.
And their “Army”, as their legions of followers name themselves, was prepared – glad, singing, screaming, light-sticks in hand. These props could be seen at each K-pop concert however the large bands have their very own.
Amanda and Veronica had them too. They wore vast grins and matching purple hanbok, the normal Korean gown.
The band’s break is what made them search out different members of the Army. “That’s how we met,” Amanda says.
But it had been a tough three years, they added, spent craving for the band to return again.
