[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] BTS, who spectacularly decorated their first face-to-face concert in two years, continues the emotional stage with the second day of the performance.

On the 28th (local time) at 7:30 PM, BTS will hold the second day of 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE in LA' at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Following the first day, the world’s attention is once again focused on what kind of concept stage BTS will present on the second day.

At a press conference held ahead of the second day’s performance, BTS shared their thoughts on the previous day’s concert. V said, "I feel so good to have a face-to-face concert after two years," adding, "For us, those two years were very sad and difficult because what was once normal life became abnormal." He continued, "I think many people were looking forward to and preparing a lot for our concert," and added, "We want to give happy energy to ARMY (BTS fandom)." Jin said, "I hope this concert will be an opportunity to hold more concerts with ARMY," and "We also want to hold concerts in Korea and have plans to do so." Jungkook said, "Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have released songs that contain our difficult and honest emotions, as well as songs filled with hope and comfort to overcome this moment. Many people have given us love, which gave us greater strength," and vowed, "We will pour that energy into today’s performance."

BTS will hold a total of four face-to-face performances in LA. From the first performance on the 27th, through the 28th, December 1st, and 2nd, they plan to meet about 200,000 spectators over four shows. On the last day, a paid live broadcast will also be conducted through the fan platform Weverse.

Meanwhile, a ‘LIVE PLAY in LA’ event has been prepared, allowing real-time viewing of the concert through a separate screen. Audience members can watch the concert on a large screen installed at the professional venue ‘YouTube Theater’ located in Los Angeles, USA. Approximately 6,000 people watch each session at the YouTube Theater.
