Recently, BTS kicked off their ARIRANG world tour in Goyang, marking their first full-group world tour in years.
However, after the first day, there was a lot of talk about the performances and the setlist.
The Biggest “Problem” With BTS’s “ARIRANG” Concert Triggers Heated Debate
After the show, Jimin went on live broadcast and shared his thoughts about the first day.
첫콘 하고 느낀 점 #지민
🐥 저도 아쉬운 게 너무 많았어요 오늘. 비도 너무 많이 오고.. 이번에 굳이 굳이 춤을 빼가면서까지 이 연출을 새로이 한번 해보고 싶어서 노력을 했는데, 화약 연기도 잘 빠지지 않고 했던 부분들이 있어서.. 날씨 때문에 바람도 불지 않고 하니까 원래는 이게 잘… pic.twitter.com/Z3AUBIuZhy

“There were a lot of things I found unfortunate today. It rained so much, and we tried a different stage after taking out the choreography, but the smoke didn’t air out as it should have, and because there was no wind. It usually airs out really well when we appear, and things like this felt a bit disappointing.
So while I hoped that all of you would enjoy it, I also had a lot of worry when going up on stage. As I said at the concert, it felt a bit burdensome and difficult, and though the desire to see you all was greater, I felt like I had to do well to repay you for how long you waited, so I don’t think I went on stage with a light heart.
So if those of you who came felt even a little enjoyment, that would be enough. Then I think I can finally relax and sleep well.”

However, fans expressed major concern after they saw his hands trembling during the live stream.
