• Looking Back At 6 Of BTS’ Most Unforgettable Stage Performances

    Here are the best BTS performances ever.

    BTS, one of the world's most popular boy groups, recently announced a temporary suspension of group activities, drawing attention. It has been over nine years since BTS's debut, and the group has put on numerous stunning shows. As a result, the announcement of the group's hiatus surprised fans around the world.

    To stay in touch with their fans, BTS will continue to do solo activities in the future. For the time being, though, fans may feel let down because they won't be able to attend performances with all of the members. Seven members have demonstrated explosive chemistry on stage when they've performed as one.

    Let's take a look at some of BTS' most memorable performances.

    Butter – The 64th Grammy Awards

    During the 64th Grammy Awards in April this year, BTS wowed the audience with their performance of "Butter".

    Seven members drew attention to themselves by appearing in black suits from various locations across the theater, including the ceiling. They danced in perfect sync to the upbeat pace of the song, and their fervent singing was a sight to behold.

    In the middle of the performance, an unexpectedly powerful jacket dance drew cheers from the crowd.

    IDOL – 2018 Melon Music Awards (MMA)

    BTS wowed the crowd at the "Melon Music Awards" in 2018 with a stage that was one of a kind.

    BTS members performed "IDOL" in a "Korean tradition" version, complete with samulnori band and fan dance, while dressed in fusion hanboks.

    Jungkook sported a mask as Jimin performed the fan dance following J-Hope. BTS was well praised by Korean netizens for his outstanding performance at the 2018 MMA.

    Mikrokosmos – 2021 BTS FESTA

    BTS's performance of "Mikrokosmos" on stage at last year's "BTS FESTA," which celebrated the group's eighth anniversary of its debut, won praise from fans.

    Members of BTS showed off their impressive live singing abilities by passionately singing the song.

    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the concert was hosted online, yet the excitement and sensation of offline performances were embodied as they were in the form of an online concert.

    Burning – 2016 DMC Festival

    BTS' performance at the 'DMC Festival' in 2016 was full of intensity from the first stanza of their song. BTS, whose stage was adorned to resemble the song's title, drew enthusiastic reactions from the crowd and sparked a lively scene.

    No mistakes were made, despite the challenging choreography, by BTS as they performed the "sword choreography."

    DNA – 2017 American Music Awards (AMA)

    While attending the 'American Music Awards' in 2017, BTS performed "DNA" becoming the first Korean artist to do so. BTS's energetic, rhythmic performance wowed the crowd.

    Fans from around the world gave BTS a standing ovation as they finished their performance, demonstrating the group's everlasting impact.

    Poems for Little Things – 2019 Billboard Music Awards (BBMA)

    For the second year in a row, BTS left a mark on the world stage as they attended the 'Billboard Music Awards' in 2019.

    For the first time ever, a Korean artist has won two Billboard Music Awards, making BTS the first ever Korean artist ever to win two Billboard Music Awards.

    Fans, enthralled by the upbeat beat, chanted the names of the band members or waved their hands in time to the music.

    One of the highlights of the event was when Halsey joined BTS on stage to demonstrate their incredible chemistry.

  • NewJeans Minji writes touching letter on her birthday during activity halt: “We didn’t stop and we won’t stop”

    NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

    On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

    Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

    She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

    Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

    Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

    She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

    Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

    However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

    The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

    Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
