BTS members, who had plans of a world tour last April, have been stationed in South Korea since the pandemic began. 

However, they hosted a few online streaming concerts in the last one-and-a-half years including Bang Bang Con: The Live in 2020 and Muster Sowoozoo 2021, this year.

Although this came as a treat for their fans, Jimin confessed it was ‘painful’ to perform in a stadium with no fans.  

“It was nerve-wracking when we were waiting for the curtain to rise, but when we went onstage, there were just a lot of video cameras in the place the audience was supposed to be. I know I should be grateful for the chance to perform at all, but it was painful,” he told Billboard, reports Hindustan Times.

RM also added that their energy has been ‘sapped’ and their morale has been ‘killed’. The members now have a relaxed schedule, something that they didn’t experience for 10 years.

“For the first time in maybe 10 years, we kind of have a clear line between work and life,” RM said.

“That’s probably the only good part,” added Jimin.

BTS has released a number of new songs through the pandemic including three English tracks– Grammy nominated Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance, and their album BE.
