‘Feeling euphoric’: Fans rejoice ahead of BTS concerts in Los Angeles

This will be my first BTS concert and I am feeling EUPHORIC. I am most excited to witness their greatness with my own eyes. Sure, I’ve watch every music video ever created, every live performance captured and even streamed their live concerts during the pandemic… But to be in the same stadium, under the same roof, watching BTS’ inimitable and dynamic talent captivate the stage (and our hearts) in real time is a dream come true. To share this experience with ARMY as everyone (old fans and new) has waited so long for this moment as well, is sure to be special. I’m excited for the emotion, the music, the dancing and the euphoric joy that is guaranteed with every BTS show.

I discovered BTS through my incredible brother, Ron. He was an original ARMY, and always had the best taste in music. Unfortunately, we lost my brother very unexpectedly last year. Losing him changed my world. Navigating the depths of grief as an adult was extremely challenging and at most times paralyzing. It was BTS’ music, passion, personalities, humor, kindness, camaraderie and encouragement that brought me so much hope and pure joy. I smiled, I laughed, I danced and I discovered that light and hope exists after loss. The theme of my 30th birthday was even BTS. BTS changed and saved my life, and I ultimately have my very special brother, Ron to thank for that.
