On the evening of the 21st, fans gathered in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, chanting the names of BTS members just minutes before the concert began. The atmosphere intensified as the lights dimmed and the sound of the 'Seongdeokdaewang Sinjong,' featured in BTS's newly released album, filled the air. The massive stage design, representing a monumental entrance, set the stage for BTS to proudly declare their return with the greeting, 'We Are Back,' led by RM's enthusiastic words.

BTS's appearance at Gyeongbokgung, walking down the historical 'king's path,' served as a poignant reminder of their roots, highlighting the irony that these seven young men originated from Korea, transformed into a global sensation, and returned to where their journey began. This performance marked the group's full comeback after 3 years and 5 months, officially signaling the beginning of 'BTS 2.0'. It was a representation of their evolution while still honoring their cultural heritage.

The opening of the concert emphasized the thematic essence of 'Arirang,' and showcased songs like 'Body to Body' and 'Hooligan' that amplified the vibrant energy of their new album. In a remarkable visual moment, Gyeongbokgung lit up in the backdrop under red lights, encapsulating the performance's Korean spirit through the melodies of ‘Arirang’ intertwined in the shows. Despite an ankle injury that limited RM's movement, the performance was powerful, symbolizing not just a concert but the reaffirmation of BTS's enduring legacy within both Korea and the international music scene.
