Jin of BTS gives a master class in fan connection at Honda Center
Attending a BTS member's solo show is probably the best way to understand the power of the group beyond Western conceptions of boy bands and the limitations of the K-pop idol system. Jin, the eldest member of the group, has become the third bandmate to solo headline a world tour with his #RUNSEOKJIN_EP. Tour, which brought him to Anaheim's Honda Center on Thursday and Friday night. At the outset of the septet's 2022 break, Jin was on a time crunch. South Korea had raised the mandatory age of military enlistment from 28 to 30 years old (with legislation nicknamed the BTS law), and it was his time to go. Without time for a bigger project before heading off, he debuted the soaring single 'The Astronaut,' co-written by his favorite band, Coldplay, and paired with a nostalgia-tinged sci-fi music video. After he was discharged from the military in June of last year, he got straight to work releasing the upbeat pop-rock EP 'Happy,' followed six months later by his latest release, 'Echo,' which veered in a more indie direction. Much of the songs on the tour's 18-song set list come from both of these releases, sprinkled with a few of his earlier stand-alone singles. On Thursday's show, the over-18,000-capacity arena appeared nearly sold out, so far proving the group's famous fandom will show up for each member. Jin's particular brand of quirky, humorous and suave energy was on full display at both shows, drawing out an element of the group's alchemy that helps explain its broad appeal and devoted fans, while also showing how the group is a world unto itself. Perhaps more than any other BTS member, Jin seems to want to deliver to existing fans rather than reaching for more. The tour is designed as an exclusive love letter to the fandom with nearly every element of its design. Jin is especially skilled at merging elements of his personality and interests into an integrated intellectual property that transcends visuals, merchandising and format while remaining firmly in on the joke, as well as sincere and engaging. The name of the tour references his solo variety show called 'Run Seokjin,' which itself is an iteration of the group's variety show, 'Run BTS.' (Seok-jin is his birth name.) It provides a framework for the structure of the concert, as classic Korean variety-show elements are employed during the nearly two-hour-long set list. Preshow, concertgoers could be found in either official or fan-made merch with a dizzying array of references to either the artist's music, aspects of his personality or both. A cute alien figure, the character created for the space-themed 'The Astronaut,' graced headbands, while tuna hats and various fishing-related outfits nodded to the viral 'Super Tuna,' an EDM-meets-trot love anthem to a tuna fish and his love for fishing in general. There are even a few ramen-themed outfits, as he is now the face of a famous Korean ramen brand that coincidentally shares his name. A known gamer (some fans could also be seen in 'Super Mario' costumes), he began the show sauntering onstage in silence only to slam on a game-show buzzer that launched both a blast of confetti and the first strains of 'Running Wild,' the all-English-language pop-rock lead track off of 'Happy.' Within BTS' vocal line, Jin's ability to hit clear, clean high notes added to the group's reputation for songs in a high register, with the lower tenor work picked up by bandmates V and Jungkook. 'Running Wild,' however, begins with a beautifully low resonant tone that Jin has been able to explore more on his solo efforts. Throughout the show, he was anchored by guitarist Park Shin-won, bass player Yoo Hyun-wook, drummer Kim Dong-hyun, and keytar/keyboardist Kim Chang-hyun, all veteran players in the Korean music industry. But for the first half of the show, the band remained obscured by screens as the focus was on Jin, who cuts an almost young Elvis-like figure with his famously swoon-worthy good looks. In a later rock segment of the set, the band took on more visible prominence but remained as supportive figures. Clad in a glittery Gucci jean suit (he is a brand ambassador), Jin then exuberantly launched 'I'll Be There for You,' an uptempo rockabilly-tinged pop song with a sing-a-long chorus, a style that seems to be his rock 'n' roll safe space. The orchestrated madcap structure takes hold when backed by a running instrumental. Relatively early in the show, he announced that a short break was in order. A giant clock appeared, counting down the minute and a half onstage while he sipped water, vibed with his band and exchanged 'woofs' with the crowd. He transitioned into the lushly melancholy 'With the Clouds' off of 'Echo' — an interesting track with a cool 'backpedal' transition that highlights his softer midrange tone. But before the audience members got too deep in their feelings, at its conclusion, he offered them his best Zoolander stare and blew kisses — which they loudly ate up. 'Every show is a challenge,' he said in English, referring to the game-show format, 'And you and I have to do it together,' making it clear participation was expected going forward. He was not joking. He read out the rules for what was essentially an arena-scale game of charades between him and the audience, in which his number of wins determined which costume he donned for the next act. 'I have nine seconds to change my clothes, so be good and talk to the person next to you,' he quipped, leaving the stage with a countdown clock, popping up dutifully on time in a large fishing hat and boots. After the insanely campy 'Super Tuna,' he spun a 'Price Is Right'-style wheel to determine what song the audience will karaoke to as he changes again. The audience chose 'Anpanman,' a punchy BTS classic that played with lyrics as hilarious Y2K low-fi graphics of him singing bumps on the screen. Upon his return, clad in black, he accompanied himself on the longing ballad 'I Will Return to You' and transitions into 'Abyss.' Credited as a songwriter on almost all of his solo songs, 'Abyss,' a single released in 2020, delves into especially early feelings of self-doubt that are jarringly in contrast with his later confident demeanor. Both songs were not accompanied by subtitles, allowing the listener to focus on the particular beauty and comfort he embodies while singing in Korean and further underlining a focus on the fandom. After the fan chants of 'Kim Seokjin' died down, he switched back to rock mode with the gorgeous 'The Background.' Whether or not he has experienced real-life heartbreak is unknown — BTS members keep their lives private — but he makes you believe he has: 'Even if I call you / It echoes back and hurts me again / Even waiting / I try to convince myself it's love.' The campiness wasn't completely over as he thrilled fans again with 'Rope It,' a quirky, pop-country ditty where he gamely hip-swiveled and hat-tilted, channeling his inner Clint Black. A medley of BTS hits including 'Dynamite' and 'Butter' followed, where he danced a bit. Sexy frontman, variety-show host, rock star, comedian, he was everything for every fan. With all of its wacky charm and big confetti budget, the show remained remarkably minimalist; no fancy choreography or set pieces. Jin is comfortable onstage and at his most charming when going off script and speaking freely to the audience in Korean through a translator. It will be interesting to see where he takes his incredible vocal prowess as a solo performer in years to come — it's exciting to think of the possibilities of even a harder-edged sound or a full country album. But as the show slowly wound down, and after one last talk with the crowd, amid his trio of encore songs, perhaps lies the most compelling version of him. 'Epiphany,' off the 2018 BTS album 'Love Yourself: Answer,' offers both a sonic and mental self-actualization that has as he has transitioned from his 20s into his 30s: 'The real myself inside the smiling mask / I reveal it entirely / I'm the one I should love in this world / shining me, precious soul of mine.'

BTS Recreate the Magic of Touring With ‘Permission to Dance On Stage' Live Album: Stream It Now
BTS may not be scheduled to reunite until 2026, but the band did just give ARMY a pretty big treat to tie fans over until then: Permission to Dance On Stage, aka the group's first-ever live album. Arriving Friday (July 18) with 22 tracks, the album compiles recordings of the BTS members' performances on their 2021-2022 Permission to Dance On Stage tour. Included on the tracklist are live versions of Billboard Hot 100-toppers 'Dynamite,' 'Butter' and 'Life Goes On.'

The package includes a 92-page interview photobook with behind-the-scenes snapshots from the show. Permission to Dance On Stage arrives shortly after the members of BTS reunited on camera for the first time in years, as all seven Bangtan Boys had previously been unable to maintain full-band activities while they completed their mandatory service to the South Korean military. Squeezing in next to each other on a couch, the septet announced on a July 1 Weverse livestream that they had big plans for next year. 'Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,' they said in a band statement at the time. 'Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' 'We're also planning a world tour alongside the new album,' they added. 'We'll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you're as excited as we are.'
