my concert experience 12/01/21 : day 3

[all photos in this post, i took]

my personal concert experience!

i wanted to share a bit about how my concert went, mostly just for myself so i can look back and read in detail about my night but feel free to read this if u would like!

life has been so busy, there is always so much that needs to get done so being able to step away, fly down to la with my best friend and watch my idols perform is absolutely insane and i cant express how grateful i am

we approached sofi stadium after an excruciatingly boring uber ride and got straight in line at 5:30 (ik thats late for some armies but we had been flying all day and that was the earliest we were able to make it)

we actually got in pretty quickly!! they checked our vaccine cards and tickets and then we went straight through security and found our seats

we were sitting in section C108 which is to the side of the main stage , we cant see the big screen but there was a screen on the side and we were so close to bts!!!!! (i was freaking out)

[for reference]

bts started playing and even seeing them right there and hearing them it still felt completely unreal. i was so happy i dont think ive ever felt pure joy like that , maybe that sounds dramatic but i truly felt like i was right where i needed to be

it wasnt just me who looked and felt happy it was everyone around me including the members , at ome point hobi said “i think right now, right here, we are the happiest people in the world”. everyone in that stadium was beaming!

tae was so smiley too it was so incredible to see.

join talked about how important and empowering it was to finally perform on and black swan in front of army, im glad i was there to witness some of the first mots7 performances

it had been 2 years since they had last played in front of us!!!

during boy with luv halsey was there! i dont care much for her but i thought it was neat that they arranged for her to be there:))

i was yelling and screeching and cheering and jumping, i was doing everything to give back what bts was putting out for us! and it showed bc my voice is dead

i was emotional the whole time, happy, appreciateive, reflective, nostalgic, but really pure pure joy. during save me i started sobbing like i was really crying but they were happy tears:)

i just couldnt (still cant) believe i was finally seeing the boys ive been admiring and listening and watching for 5 years in person!!!!

of course we all watch video after video and listen to song after song and thats all magical in its own way but nothing compared to hearing and seeing them live.

later in the concert we of course had to do the wave but joon explained funky and we did it wrong lol, all of them were like “nononono that was so bad u guys” and we tried a couple more times but it never ended as pretty as the members were hoping :,)

i have to mention idol because i felt that song in my core. the beat was insane and i could feel the heat from the fire that came out of the front of the stage. at one point the music went quiet and all you could hear was fans going “oh oh ohwoah” yknow the part and then joon went “PUT YOUR MOTHERFUCKING HANDS UP” and we did!!!!!

it was just so so incredible to see the members passion and hearts poured into their music and performances

another thing to mention is tae dropping the mic hahahaha. during answer: love myself after jin it was his turn to sing and he tried to flip the mic but dropped it and then tried to grab it and hit his knee and then was just sitting there rubbing his knee and it was just so funny to see always slick tae mess up and laugh at himself

all the members had longer speeches near the end of the concert

jimin said army has beautiful voices and that they perform to hear us :,)

hobi said that he puts everything he has into each concert and its become his joy, happiness, and job

namjoon talked about how 3 is a lucky number in korean so it definitely was a special concert because “it felt like destiny, it felt like a fate”.

the end of the concert was really difficult. it was hard to see them leave but i was excited for them to go home, get some rest and eat well—they deserve the world. plus i needed rest and food as well:)

also in case u havent seen them live, they sound the exact same. their voices are so real and so authentic and passionate—i know i used the word passion earlier but its just such a perfect word to describe them , you can truly tell how much they care for their music and their fans

and however beautiful they look on all the videos ive seen theyre a million times more stunning in person , i mean when i saw hobi my jaw dropped to the floor hes so pretty

i wasnt able to get an army bomb so im really sad about that but i did get a mots7 black zip up hoodie and its so comfy im never taking it off!

i dont have much more to say about the physical experience. it was truly the best night of my life and i hope to see them again someday
