BTS in MANILA - What you missed and What you already miss
Monday, August 1, 2016
[putting this warning ahead because this post might require 5 mins of your precious time.. but please do spare some and read. =) ]
July 30,2016 was indeed the MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT in the lives of the PH ARMYs because BTS finally came back after 2 years!
It was the PH leg of their EPILOGUE concert tour in line with the release of their full 화양연화 (The Most Beautiful Moment In Life) album. ARMYs absolutely enjoyed seeing their boys come to the country (well so did I *wink wink*)
I tell you I'm not an ARMY, but I seriously LOVE listening to their songs and probably never get tired of it. So that night, while the whole ARMY nation was spazzing, I was just there enjoying my time partying and appreciating 7 young and passionate men performing on stage. LOL~!
The concert started at around 6pm (didn't really check if it started 6pm sharp like what was said on the schedule, I mean you can't mind such thing if you're already there, right? but I'm sure it was not crazy late.)
as soon as the house lights went out, ARMYs were definitely on no chill as they played one last MV on the screen and the intro VTR and then the curtains went down and revealed 7 lovely boys in our midst.
they started with RUN followed by my fave song, DANGER [and I forgot to save my snap! denget!] and yes, the rest was history.
they performed 23 songs that night, and so here's the set list of that night's show.
on the first few songs of the show, we were just enjoying on our seats and bouncing up and down to the music. Not util WE ARE BULLET PROOF was up and everyone was on their feet like crazy!
Of course not one song was less enjoyed than the other, but I say there were highlights that night that really made mark to every ARMY's heart.
1) Namjoon's solo:

[on a side note though, did you know I really do not like Namjoon. sorry to say this but his visuals distract me. but injeongs! he is a genius! but just don't let me stare at him. I just can't concentrate!! (my friend would actually even tease me "namjoon's wife" for it. hahaha) But I might say, seeing him on stage is not that bad after all. is it either,
1: he constantly have his mic on his lips and I can't seem to be bothered by his Angelina Jolie lips, LOL!,
2: he lost weight, maybe because of the sick days he had, that his plump cheeks no longer looks as distracting as his lips, or
3: he's seriously tall and I kinda like it and I wanna cry!!!!!]
[sc: charmingjayy]
2) DOPE :

3) No More Dream:
Of course who would not love it when your group would start performing their debut song on their concert? The nostalgia and the happiness of getting to know your boys for the first time would always be a treasure. They actually told us that it would be their last song for their main set on that night (of course they still have an encore coming) and fans were sad upon hearing that. but as soon as the music started, everyone was jumping again. (hahaha! happiness)
4)I need U
this was the last song during the encore, and they indeed made it special. They made the audience actually sing the first verse as they just lead us along the way and it actually felt like connecting to the boys in the most special way we can ever imagine. [last songs are both the happiest and the saddest part of any concerts, that's the part you both feel glad that you came, and feel sad that it's ending]
5)the ENCORE EVENT SUCCESS!
that was probably the winning moment of every ARMY on the lower box section (and also the ADMINS) that night. When the boys noticed the fandom's event for them.
So the event was to make the ARMYs at the left and right Lower Box section to hold up these boards of red and white that would spell 사랑해 (we love you) and 고마워 (thank you).
J-Hope was the one who noticed something happening at first, then Jimin. Hope was actually staring at both sides for a long while trying to make something out of it (using the last juices of his brain possibly. LOL!) until finally Jimin read out loud "SA-RANG-HAE" and the whole left side box went crazy!! (I was on the left side. hihihi)
clap clap clap to the ADMINS and ARMYs! you did it!
bonus highlight) DANGER:
The boys didn't disappoint that night I say, though it was a little obvious they are a bit losing some energy already, especially the encore part, it was shorter than usual (don't worry boys, two more shows to go!)
But they seriously tried to entertain us like crazy.

Suga was surprisingly game that night. (just one of the few times we can actually see him do so. concerts are indeed an exception. hahaha).
I was actually happy to see JIN live, how beautiful he really is. Weird thing though I would always have images of him doing EAT JIN every time I hear his speaking voice. I'm an EAT JIN fan you know. I must have watched a lot of his episodes already that I associate his speaking voice to his program automatically.
And yes, JIMIN was surprisingly handsome.....? really.
Some songs that I enjoyed personally were
DANGER,
BOY IN LUV,
SAVE ME [trust me until now I can still vividly see J-hope doing his part on Save Me. it keeps on playing in my mind and I don't know why it has to be Hobi's part. HAHAHA!],
FIRE,
WE ARE BULLET PROOF [click click, bang bang!]
BAEPSAE,
DOPE
ATTACK ON BANGTAN and
NO MORE DREAM.
I'd like to add Cypher on the list though but the Cypher that I was looking forward to was the PT2 ("Nugu taemune") and it didn't happen. CRY~!

I really LOVED Suga that night. I would always give him a thumbs up and a affirming nod every time he finished his part, like saying "good job" for his rapping is actual CRAZY!!! I'd always get that JYP-on-Kpopstar reaction every time Yoonggi raps and I finally witnessed it right before my eyes, and I will always give him that thumbs up and approving nod in the future. SUGA you are one of a kind!
Again, like what I said at the beginning that I am not an ARMY, I just came with a best friend who is a full blooded one. [same person who is the reason why I seem to know the boys deeply]
But if you ask me what I came to realize in this concert, I would say I just confirmed with my own eyes and own heart what I would always see on videos my friend would (forcefully. JOKE!) make me watch; that BTS lives for their music, their members and their fans.
From what I see in BTS is that each member is important to their existence and they would refuse to make music if it's for their own personal gain and not for the whole team. It's like BTS or NEVER. which loyalty I could not find in any other groups that I came to know so far. (and I think it would stay like that for a longer time).
The boys share this connection that they also want to share with the fans. For BTS, the ARMYs are like family. That they are not doing music because they want ARMYs to make them rich and famous but they are doing their music because it's their only way to connect with the ARMYs, something like they want their relationship with the ARMYs not to be the FAN-IDOL relationship but the "family" kind of relationship (and if they can just talk to each Army one by one, they would actually do so). And I definitely felt the sincerity in them that night. They said goodbye to fans with watery eyes like we would never see each other again. (just come back boys! no need to cry! Though it might be another long wait)
[insert this part: I would always love the way they would lovingly wave to the fans good bye in every end of the concert and the fans just can't stop but wave back. now that's the real connection we are talking about.]

the last part of the concert really touched me and it made me kind of envious of the ARMYs for having such loving boys by their side. During the closing VTR, the last frame was a text saying:
"SPECIAL THANKS to: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ARMY"
they seriously can never forget about the ARMY and never fail to make them feel they are the most special people in the world.
now I really understand why ARMYs would really do great heights for the boys. Because the boys are doing great heights for the ARMYs as well. I used to think ARMYs are just plain crazy! But witnessing that connection with my own eyes between the boys and them made me understand why.
[but then seriously, some ARMYs are going overboard. please be careful. Hurting yourselves because of your fancy for the boys is just like hurting the boys equally. They care about you guys to the point where Namjoon would always not forget to tell people in all their concerts and gatherings to be careful and not push each other. so don't waste that love they are giving. (si hubs ko pa naman yung sobrang nag c-care! JOOOOOOKE!!!)]
ARMYdeul! JOKETA!
I personally enjoyed this concert. It's always nice to just come and enjoy some good music and good performance sometimes; and not spazz on the celebrities. I'm still having the hang of all of it and I think I will still save my videos on my phone and watch it from time to time in a longer while. *wink wink*
and seriously, I give so much respect for BTS after coming to their concert.... I'm really glad I came!

[wasn't able to get blog-worthy photos though, I was busy partying... ahahhaha]
and lastly,
KUDOS to the organizers! to INANG REYNA and her staff! shout out to you!!! I've seen how organized it is this time around (compared to the ones I've been to before. no hate) finally, talagang expert ka na INANG! and we will always trust you in all our KPOP concerts in the future. You can't go wrong with Inang Reyna! hahaha~! THANK YOU~!
