Comprising of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the South Korean pop band BTS is organising 'Permission to Dance on Stage' concert in its capital, Seoul for three days - March 10, March 12, and March 13. These are the first live concerts of the music group in South Korea in over two years as the band's last performance in their home country happened in October 2019.
Fans of the group thronged the Seoul Olympic stadium in large numbers on the first day of the concerts. Twitter is flooded with pictures and videos from the Day 1 of the concert in which the Bangtan Boys can be seen performing on stage with their heart and soul.
