The curtain for ‘Map of the Soul ON:E concert came down yesterday 11th October and with it a lot of withdrawal symptoms and denials at the end of something as legendary as BTS concert. There was no less expectation from the concert as usual because everyone knows that BTS on stage is an experience, not just a performance. The much-awaited performances for songs in the Map Of The Soul:7 Album, were delivered in such a way that it was never what anyone expected.
Most of the songs in the Album had never been performed live and so ARMY was ready to get the experience of a lifetime. Everything anyone knew or expected as a performance like Jungkook’s ‘My Time’, Jimin’s ‘Filter’ or J-Hope’s ‘Ego’ went out the door. Their choreos were more that anyone thought they would be, which was a very pleasant surprise.

The Map of the Soul ON:E concert was no exception, are we that surprised anymore? With hard work, then comes heavy rewards, which BTS have always attained.
