hihi
omg! towards the end of last month and earlier this month (i already forgot the dates) was bts movie weeks. basically to show bts progression in venues from 2016 to 2021 (their first big venue and ended on a pandemic concert). im happy i was able to take my friend with me so they could see what bts is all about! there were 4 concerts in total they we're showing in the theaters so i bought tickets for all of them cuz duh! it's bts! here's what my experience was like:
there were quite a bunch of people. i'd say the upstairs seating was full! but bro, why was I THE ONLY ONE SCREAMING AND SINGING ALONG TO THE LYRICS?!?! the beginning of the screening goes "MAKE SOME NOIIISEEE" and the noise was only me 😭 when they went "SING IT ARMY" i was the only one singing ☠️ (this is a reoccurring theme throughout the concert weeks). when the first song came on and hoseok came out, he looked too good for me to NOT scream! so naturally i screamed. and everyone, i mean EVERYONE, laughed at me (╥﹏╥) there was one mom sitting next to my friend and she seemed like she was into the music but her kids were noooooot havin it LOL! she was more excited than her kids so maybe she dragged her kids along? idk. shoutout to that mom though cuz while i was screaming for hoseok, she basically was like "GET YOUR MANS GIRL!!" LIKE YESSS I WILL GET HIM TRUST!!!!! but tell me why was i the only one who knew their b-sides from their older albums?! i went crazy for hiphop phile and autumn leaves and NOOOONE around me looked like they knew the song. sad. the boys sang 'young forever', which is an emotional song. so i was tearing up (ofc), and my friend started LAUGHING. i was sooo confused. she went, "why is namjoon disassociating?!" i looked at him and tell me why was he out of it 😭 safe to say i wasn't in my feels anymore

fun concert! wished the fans were a little more hyped up tho ˙◠˙ but i got bracelet and sticker freebies 😛
2017 wings concert
the theater had a decent crowd like last time. but before the show started, one of the staff members came out and said "no video recording no taking out your phones or else you will get kicked out. and please be respectful of your screaming" i was so confused. like it's a concert. plus i needed my phone to change the color of my lightstick to each song. whatever. AND to restrict my screaming? hellll nahh brotherrr. but i need to know what happened in the first showing for her to make an annoucement. i went to a different theater so something crazy must've happened for her to do that. the crowd was more into the concert this time. but i was still the small group of ppl WHO WAS SCREAMING AND HAVING FUN!!!! at least i got freebies >w<! the girl noticed me jamming out a little too hard, so she gave me all her stickers. anywho i was hyped up throughout the concert and forgot about the "be respectful of your screaming" rule cuz trust!! i was gonna get my moneys worth!!!
(also apparently ishowspeed came to phx that same day?! at az mills and asu of all places 😭? so realistically i could've met him?!? i watched his livestream when i got home and was so shocked).
this was an emotional one for me cuz this tour that was my first bts concert experience (and second ever concert i've been to atp). i went on sept. 12, 2018 on namjoon's bday in oakland! i even got interviewed (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) i remember that day clearly. and to see the members roughly looking the same from when i went, yeah i cried. v emotional time (especially since it was one of the worst years bts experienced to the point they almost disbanded). this concert specifically reminded me of my middle school days. i got a little choked up during their solo songs, like jimin's song 'serendipity'. but not as much during jin's performance of epiphany. it threw me back to when i listened to it in the concert and how i far i gotten (i was sobbing). plus he's just a really great singer!

once again, i was one of three people who were singing along so i felt embarrassed. i still screamed and everything :p. i even did the famous 'why you sad. idk nan molla' fanchant from fake love, but only me and one other woman sang it. after the showing, that women came up to me and said "you get it!!". it was a little sad cuz all the armys used to SING that line. only she knew what's up. no freebies this time </3
2021 sowoozoo concert
WHY WERE THERE 10 PPL IN THIS THEATER??!?!?! 😭 mad embarrassing bro. this time i really toned down the screaming. i felt really discouraged. i think i screamed 4-5 times? but whatevs. it was a fun concert. when they were singing daechwita omg that was the highlight of the night LOL my friend and i were DYING when taehyung appeared on screen, i couldn't breathe. even if i already seen it, it was hilarious the billionth time around. soooo many questions left to be answered. why did he dress himself as a prisoner ☠️?! did they not rehearse this part? cause in the background yoongi looked like he wanted to laugh. he's so serious about his role 😭 what also was funny was that his beard kept coming off so he had to keep sticking it back onto his face. the difference in color between his hair and beard is so funny too

| the scene in question 😭 why did tae fall the other way ☠️?! |
namjoon gave some encouraging remarks about staying strong through the pandemic, which was comforting. and i hope they have a fun time when they do make a in-person concert in a better situation than they were back then. i was sitting next to a grandma and after the showing, she came up to me and said "thank you for making the show fun. you knew all the lyrics". it seemed like she came by herself but she was mingling with this other lady next to her. no freebies this time too </3
reflection
overall it felt bittersweet to see how big they have gotten. their small venue to now where it's stadiums. to see how much they have grown musically and confidence they now have. for the first concert, i literally turned to my friend and said "THEY LOOK LIKE BABIES" then cried. and now when i look at their insta accounts they have grown so much. they deserve it.
so what did i learn? uhm. people suck, they don't know how to have fun anymore. they made me feel bad for having fun. and i wish the fan culture was the same as pre-pandemic. at least we were all crazy in the theater together </3
