If you are a massive BTS fan like me, you may have been heartbroken by the postponement of their Map of the Soul World Tour. Of course, the announcement was due to the current COVID19 pandemic, and with that, I think it is a more than valid excuse. But, we should come to our senses since our favorites and their parent company Big Hit Entertainment compensated our disappointment by announcing the Bang Bang Con: The Live concert!
This coming June 14 at 6:00 P.M. KST, our beloved BTS will indulge us with a live-streamed concert – the Bang Bang Con: The Live. Consider it as a dessert to the recently held Bang Bang Con virtual success or a bonus celebration to the group’s seventh year anniversary since their debut in June 13, 2013 which is celebrated on the first two weeks of June every year via the BTS Festa. Either way, this is one of the most anticipated events in the music industry worldwide. The pay-per-view live stream concert will last for approximately for 90 minutes and will be performed from the comforts of the members’ homes… or will it be?
HOW TO BUY BANG BANG CON: THE LIVE TICKETS?
Weverse began accepting the preorder of tickets for the Bang Bang Con: The Live since June 1, 2020.

To enable this option, all you have to do is click the MULTIVIEW button in the player.
Isn’t it exciting? Yes, the Map of the Soul World Tour is postponed this year, but at least our boys are exerting an effort to reach out to us and make our lives in quarantine a bit better. They’ve been feeding us quality photos, videos, live streams, selcas and more! We are the most spoiled fandom ever!
Yesterday, BTS finally revealed the three subunits that we predict will perform on Bang Bang Con: The Live or on the BTS Birthday Party on the 13th. First is RM & Suga for Respect; Jin, J-Hope and Jungkook for Jamais Vu (finally! our quarantine remedy! LOL!) and soulmates Jimin and V for ‘Friends‘. Since the show will last for 90 minutes, we are hoping that they will also perform the solo tracks from the Map of the Soul: 7 album. Is Bang Bang Con: The Live similar with the yearly muster or is it more of a concert experience? We’ll find out this Sunday!
Are you watching Bang Bang Con: The Live this weekend? Let us support our boys and watch the concert in the comforts of our home!
