Tickets for BTS’s concert In recent years k-pop music really blew up. More and more people are getting into South Korean artists and groups. Notably, one of the best and most recognizable k-pop boy groups is BTS. Unfortunately, their agency just announced that soon members will leave for mandatory military enlistment, which means stopping the group activities for a few years. Who is BTS? BTS is a boy group from South Korea formed under Big Hit Music (currently part of HYBE labels). The group debuted with the song “No More Dream” on June 12, 2013 and have been in training since 2010. BTS consists of seven members - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. The group was formed when CEO of Big Hit Entertainment Bang Si-hyuk wanted to make a hip hop group around an underground rapper - RM. His approach towards creation of the group was a bit unusual - he decided to opt for individuality in his members, rather than an ensemble. Then, through auditions held in 2010 the seven boys came together and started training, preparing for debut, which happened three years later. BTS, as most of the South Korean groups have specific positions assigned to each member. RM (known by his real name Kim Nam Joon) is the group’s leader, producer and main rapper; Jin (Kim Seok Jin), the oldest member, is a sub vocalist and visual of the group; Suga (Min Yoon Gi, also known by his solo name August D) is a lead rapper and producer for the group; J-Hope (Jung Ho Seok) is a main dancer, producer, lead rapper and a vocalist; Jimin (Park Ji Min) is a main dancer and lead vocalist; V (Kim Tae Hyung) is a visual, lead vocalist and dancer; Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook), the youngest (also known as the maknae) is a visual, main vocalist, lead dancer and rapper. Unfortunately for ARMY (name of BTS’ fans) on June 15, 2022 their agency announced that the group will go on a temporary hiatus, stopping group activities and focusing on solo work. Since then one member, J-Hope, has made a solo comeback with an album “Jack In The Box”. Additionally, in October 2022 fans learned via Internet platform that the group will leave for mandatory military enlistment, starting with the oldest member Jin. What is BTS famous for? It might come as a surprise considering how successful the group is now (as of right now the group has more than five music videos surpassing one billion views on youtube), but their beginnings were quite humble. The group was formed under a small (back then) agency and didn’t get much recognition in South Korea or overseas until 2014 and their single “Boy In Luv”. Their career started picking up pace after they won 1st place at a music show on May 5, 2015 for the song “I Need U”. What made the boy group stand out and slowly gain their fame and recognition is definitely their individuality and freedom that their CEO gave them. They participate in writing their music, produce it and have a very close, strong relationship with ARMY (their fans). Every of the seven members is their own person, performing together on stage as one. They work really well with each other, supporting solo and group comebacks alike. In the beginning, in their music they mostly focused on expressing themselves and their feelings - anger, sadness, being misunderstood by the world and feeling lost. It’s the lyrics and those themes that made them so relatable to the youth. They expressed things most of us are feeling but don’t talk about. As BTS grew up, topics discussed in their music began to change - from angsty teenage songs, through more mature content describing fame and idol life, to being content with their place and wondering what’s going to come next for them. BTS has a lot of noticeable achievements on their account, not only related to music. In September 2018 the group was invited to address the United Nations General Assembly because of their influence on the younger generation, their help in raising awareness on important global agendas. In May 2022 BTS visited current US President Joe Biden at the White House and discussed the rise in hate crimes and discrimination concerning Asians. Music-wise, one of their biggest achievements is being the first South Korean act to get nominated for a grammy award twice, in 2021 and 2022 respectively. As said previously, they hold the record for most videos with more than one billion views and fastest artists to do so. They’ve won multiple music awards for their work, collaborate with other artists and chart first on every platform whenever they release new music. Are BTS concerts worth the money? Unfortunately, because of their popularity and the way k-pop concerts look, the tickets might be quite expensive. The price depends on where the concert is held, how big the venue is, what type of seating you prefer and whether or not you are interested in bonuses (meeting with fans, exclusive merch or content). Aside from all of that, BTS concerts are one of a kind experience. Their energy on stage is unmatched, the complex choreographies are executed perfectly and the way they can hype up a full stadium of fans is quite impressive. If you are a BTS fan then it’s worth saving money in order to see them live one day. Even if you are not a fan, but enjoy live music, an energetic crowd and sophisticated performances full of dancers and singers, then a BTS concert is definitely worth the money. BTS Tour When BTS goes on Tour it will be a big deal to a lot of fans all around the globe. Thankfully, the group always visits a lot of places, so there’s no need to worry that you won’t get a concert near you. To this date the boy group has made five concert tours, three of which have been worldwide. Even BTS’ first debut concert tour “The Red Bullet Tour” began only in Asia, but due to the popularity has been expanded to North America and South America and Australia. Their last tour “Love Yourself World Tour” (recent tour “Map of the Soul Tour” has been canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic) consisted of 62 concerts held in the span of Asian, European, North and South American countries. Tickets for BTS and how to buy them Buying a ticket for a BTS concert might be a stressful experience if you aren’t well prepared and don’t know what to expect. Due to the group’s popularity there is a lot of interest surrounding getting the tickets. Most of the time you need to be very quick or the venue will be sold out in front of your eyes. Good Internet connection and a lot of patience are a must - sites selling tickets very often crash due to the site traffic. If you get placed in the queue, it’s essential that you already have enough money on your account to buy the tickets - reselling and buying at a later date is always an option, but definitely more risky and expensive. Unless you are using a certified site or marketplace, getting the tickets might not go according to plan. Tixarea.com is a safe place to buy and sell concert tickets. It is a portal that provides its users with a place to buy tickets that have long been sold out. You can also safely sell your tickets on the website if you know that you will not be able to go to a concert or other event.
