Words cannot express what I just experienced this past weekend, but I try. Seven super talented guys who write and perform music from their heart and who have shown us their humble, dorky, and beautiful selves to the world since 2013, made us laugh, cry, dance, head bang, stand in awe and speechless, and become one with them during a three-hour concert performed twice this past weekend. 50,000 people united with them each night. In the midst of Day 1, I looked around me in the pit and up in the cold, night sky as their authentic, moving, and uplifting music penetrated our ears. Even in the stands on Day 2 I was overwhelmed by the sea of lights and ARMY (fans) surrounding BTS as they performed their best concert yet.

Love Yourself: Speak Yourself squashed last October’s concert. This tour is on a whole other level and I am thankful I listened to my gut and went to both concerts. I am at peace, content, and inspired and motivated. I love music and the visual performing arts and @bts.bighitofficial and the Big Hit team delivered. THEIR ARTISTRY IS IMPECCABLE!
Yes, it rained, yes it was freakin cold, but that didn’t stop BTS and it didn’t stop ARMY. We were all blessed and together as a family.

And they are coming back next year. (postponed due to Covid)

Let’s each keep digging deep inside ourselves and make great art people. Don’t let anyone stop you. ~Joannah

PS: Shout out to all new and old ARMY friends! @misslyssie and I keep finding the best ones every time we go 😉
