It would be amazing if you could react to some of Jungkook’s covers, as well as his performance on Masked Singer! 🥹 Jungkook – “Open Your Eyes” (The Man Who Laughs) https://youtu.be/j3CqiHs4t5I?is=MTqeukgM2SAuNdBP Jungkook – “Sofa” https://youtu.be/bK0lgbrRkQA?is=dTiXqgwvxx_O-ynF Jungkook – “Into the Sun” https://youtu.be/_9zDZa_hdnA?is=xUAkSkd5a9AzufrT Jungkook – “Best Part” https://youtu.be/DiAvfOOPkrA?is=yBh0GlUa5g4HzI7i And his legendary performance on Masked Singer: https://youtu.be/MZHYcwYSFMo?is=ZevYdMXN6mio9TBt I’d really love to see your reactions to his vocals, especially because these performances show so many different sides of his voice! 💜

Luz Angela Brito

Awesome!! I was really looking forward to this reaction from you guys! thanks 🙏🏾🫶🏻

Morning guys. I think the set list was what BTS were contracted to do. We have to remember the boys are on break during their world tour so I think they only wanted to do the fourth songs. I don’t think it had anything to do with iHeart shortening their show. The main issue was the sound quality and the camera work was shitty. The boys did amazing as always.🫂💜💝

Whits ⊙⊝⊜

Agree! BTS posted the 4 song “hint” on socials. It was the production, especially if you streamed it. You couldn’t hear the crowd like in fancams. All night it was chaos. My main ‘huh?’ Was at the stream just ended. No “thanks for coming/watching”. Thankfully, we have the “good camera” versions posted by them.

alie

Loved thiss!!! Anyways that’s V who goes “Thats right!” on 2.0 not RM 😅🥰

MorganxJKBias💖

I will say before I watch because I seen other reactors say that there was no issues, during the live broadcast everything that was going well during this video, were terrible during the live-streaming. Audio was terrible, camerawork was terrible, lighting was terrible, fya sounded like it was sped up, and you could barely hear Jin and Tae's mic. The videos they posted and during the fancams, they sounded amazing. The time thing some people took it far, but during the livestream it was all terrible which is understandable why some army felt the way they did. Looking forward to your reaction!!

Joy

Actually that was V not RM

Ezel⁷ ⊙⊝⊜

The problem was the technical issues. V Jimin Jin and Jhope had mic issues. ALSO IT DIDN’T HELP THAT SOME PODCAST GUYS FROM IHEARTRADIO WAS BEING SUPER FUCKING RACIST!

Bangtan’sNikki ⁷

I yelled it was Tae not Joonie like TTR could hear me😩😭🤭

Bangtan’sNikki ⁷

Also, I will add the live stream was where all the sound and camera issues were noticeable, but the videos that they uploaded which you are watching, they fixed a lot of the issues that we saw live. This video is much more polished than what we experienced when we were watching it live on Disney+.

Bangtan’sNikki ⁷

Last comment😭😭 IHeart muted the crowd so that it wouldn’t be so loud during the live stream. People that were there and the fan cams said you can barely hear BTS because the crowd is so loud. OK, I’m done.🤭💜🤸🏽‍♂️

Margi

The podcast guys from IHeartRadio said some really racist stuff about the boys a few days after this 😬 Idk if you've seen the clips but it's really bad

Caroline.E

Omg I’m so excited! Thank you so much! 🙏💜

Paiten Sealy

Dude y’all should react to suchwita with txt.

senilka w

the official bts instagram account posted a collage of 4 backgrounds that were the ones used for this festival so I do think they were always going to perform 4 songs. I did notice in the actual live stream there was way more audio/mic issues but overall I think it was still a good performance. rm said in an interview right before their set that they came to the us just for I heart radio, they had no other plans. I think it's just loyalty on their end bc they performed and had interviews with iheart when they first started getting popular in the us. I also don't think iheart could afford more songs from bts lol, and they're on a break from their tour atm so they also probably didn't want to do more than 4 songs which is valid.

alie

same!!! ahaha did they not see it was Taehyung? lol

Kira🤪

Those mics done them so dirty😔 but honestly I don’t think BTS could ever pull a bad performance. They give 110% so even with mishaps you still get that 100%

Kira🤪

Yeah I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from that podcast. Then tried to play it off like it was a genuine mistake when he was clearly actively mocking them.

Gigi loves Jin

this is an official iHeartRadio podcast talking racist shit about BTS bc they got mad ARMYs were upset with iHeartRadio for the technical issues and short setlist. I agree some ARMYs went too far but these hosts are insane, they're outright making fun of BTS and laughed at Jungkook's name, and then tried to backtrack saying they only were insulting the fans not the artists. ugh just so annoying, it feels like 2018 all over again with how the media is treating BTS, but then again that just means BTS is getting everyone's attention 🤷‍♀️ https://www.reddit.com/r/btsthoughts/comments/1wnlzp8/the_woody_show_adresses_bts_iheart_performance/

Margi

The thing is bts members rehearse sentences for EVERY country they go to to perform, like in Paris they each said a sentence in French and I felt sooo touched too 🥹 Imagine the amount of time they put in for that !

2026-09-30 04:00 Love this Performance! But just wanted to brag on V here if I may , because : Do you know that V is the INDIVIDUAL ARTIST OVERALL who trended the most, was searched the most, & got the highest engagement at the iHeart Festival? Searches regarding his performance "Vocals" alone skyrocketed by 600% immediately after the set, as he was the one widely reported and praised by fans and media as having the most stable voice during the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Not to mention that he also amassed over 23.3 million engagements across different social media platforms! Imagine if he was marketed and promoted in the US as a ‘solo’ artist during ‘Layover’ era. The western audience got robbed big time. A lot of complaints were made about the sound but the broadcast crew have to filter the screaming that drowns out the broadcast so that’s why there’s inconsistencies in the mic volumes but al them still delivered flawlessly .

The people that were present said the performances went great, but there were a lot of technical issues with the mics because the volume dynamics were off (specially from Tae, Jin, Hobi and at the end Jimin as well). I also heard a speaker turned off in between. Some also said that the setlist was to short compared to other acts BEFORE it was clear that it was agreed upon 15min. The main issue that ARMYs have with iheartradio currently is that there was a host with his colleagues, (who are connected to iheartradio and the organisation of the show), and that dude chose to call us „losers“ repeatedly and make fun of JK‘s name because of this, which is very disrespectful and unprofessional in my opinion.

Aabolee Mali

I love them so much ❤️ giving their 101 every time.

Isabel

The sound issue affected the Disney+ live stream; the videos and accounts from ARMYs who attended show that the sound on-site was actually great—and if you watch the fancams, you can hear BTS much more clearly. The videos uploaded to BTS's official YouTube channel also sound much better. Regardless, BTS did an amazing job; they are true professionals.

Aabolee Mali

The podcast guy mocked JK calling him "that Jang Jukes guy or whatever his name is"

!Yikes!

It was v that yelled but yes RM definitely has that DAWG in him

t

it was so unbelievably disrespectful and immature

Chimchiminie

Thanks for the reaction. And yes, if you saw the audience on D2, you can definitely say that the audience on D1 came for BTS.

Iza Mayra

iHearRadio Music spoke badly of the boys.

Abie

The crowd was hyped... it’s just that the stream muted them or made them sound quieter. There are plenty of fancams showing how loud the crowd actually was. And the majority of ARMYs didn’t really complain about the setlist or the duration; most of the complaints were about the poor sound quality on the stream. The comments that the radio/podcast host argued about were clearly cherry picked 🙄, and honestly, he’s just being plain racist.

aurora

Guys obviously it was a 10/10 performance cause the problem was not within the boys. The problem is how iheart treated them giving them short time and putting them last cause they knew otherwise majority of the crowd would leave after them. (That’s why the second day was empty so yeah seb was right in his joke) If you notice at the end jk runs off stage without even saying bye and that’s not really a jk thing with fans. Also if we can go past that we cannot go past the iheart guy that in a iheart podcast discriminated bts and army making also racist comments about jk’s name the days after this performance . So yeah I do think the hate iheart is getting is only fair but that’s just my personal opinion 😕

2026-09-30 04:00 BTS just brings it each and every time no matter what. Mic dropped!
2026-09-29 15:16 BTS just brings it each and every time no matter what. It's just that simple!

BTS just brings it each and every time no matter what. It's just that simple!

Isabel

As for the crowd, Charli, it was deafening; it’s believed that’s why the sound seemed muffled at times—because the audience was screaming and singing so loudly that the audio mix ended up isolating that noise. You can really hear what the ARMY was like in the fancams. 💜

TAMA

Not only are they consummate professionals, they are thoughtful and give a shit about people as a whole!

SanjaMoonlight

This! The technical issues were many, I know it can happen but just so unprofessional from Iheart, I didn't see other artists that night having problems. You can see it from the start, they had latency issue, for sure they couldn't hear themselves well. You can actually see Joon checking his in-ear pack and debating should he take out one of his in-ears just before SWIM first chorus. Tae by the end of perf had to shout to be heard at all. Mic levels were shit, it's easily fixable live but the sound guy was probably freaking out lol. Yes, despite all of that BTS did amazing and the performance was so good, and we knew it would be 4 songs, they posted a promo for it.

AmandaMWild

Hi I was there! The crowd was actually super loud but it was muted for tv! Best believe we were yelling and doing all the fan chants lol

TAMA

Poor babies!

SanjaMoonlight

As for that podcast, i have no words, only rage.

Juana Quezada

As Seb said, I think the only compliment given to the iheart radio performance aside from the boys’ energy and vocals was the camera man’s angle shots.

Jana

The backlash was about a guest they had who insulted army and called us losers 🫤

hdgdg

Thanks guys! enjoyed this a lot :)

bonnie_r

The issue with our audio was also iheart muting the crowd during songs, which made our audio of their voices that couldn't completely separate the two, worse. During the livestream, you could just tell.

Ashley

As far as I saw they only hinted at the four songs the day of the performance so for people who bought tickets that may have been disappointing. But I can’t say for certain.

JungkooksNose🌟

I think the issue that most Armys had was the audio and lighting issues. If you saw the version of the performance that was streamed to viewers live, there were a lot of audio and mic issues, as well as in-ear issues for the members. If you saw that version, you could barely hear V, Jimin, and Jhope, and sometimes it was almost completely dark because of the lighting. So yes, that is a problem and a good reason for Armys to criticize iHeartRadio. And yes, I also saw some Armys saying that the set was cut short or that the members were mad, which I don't agree with at all personally. Even though the members had some audio problems, they didn't seem mad at all. They all said goodbye and then left, and the reason some may think their set seemed a little rushed or cut short is because the performers before BTS went a little overtime. So yes, BTS had a little less time than planned, but it was always only supposed to be four songs. They just had to hurry a little more, maybe. Also, Armys then got even more mad, for good reason, when some people from an iHeartRadio podcast chose to be racist towards BTS and called Armys losers

kanz_

Ben's reaction to j-hope at 20:13😂😂 I love it

Lomaa

9:41 it's Taehyung not RM, I mean he is IDOL OF IDOLS

Lomaa

TAEKOOK IN MIC DROP KILLING IT AS ALWAYS🔥

OutsaO

J-Hope's English was great. He has improved a lot over the years 🥰 Boys looked and sounded great as always 💜 damn mics!!

Lomaa

I SWEAR JHOPE IS ISANE, HE IS IN ANOTHER LEVEL🤯

OutsaO

🤗❤‍🔥

JungkooksNose🌟

Also, I get what you are saying about it being a live performance and that such things can happen with the audio. But it's just that it shouldn't happen! when you are hosting a festival and streaming it to an audience, having control over basic things like working mics and audio should be a bare minimum. Besides, this issue with the mic, audio, and in-ears wasn't just a problem during BTS's set, it affected the performers prior to them as well. So, saying 'that's just what can happen' doesn't really cut it, in my opinion. Because those are precisely the kinds of things you should at least have under control when hosting a festival that is being streamed to people. And yes, that is on iHeartRadio, and they are the ones who should be criticized, since they are the ones hosting it and need to have that under control so it doesn’t happen during almost all of the performances

OutsaO

His moves are so smooth and sexy, of course 🥵

Mara Eliza

The only thing I will say is that the performance was amazing only because BTS are amazing performers, if it was someone else that couldn't handle last minute technical issues with that much grace then it would be obvious the amount of mishaps there were in terms of audio. From where I stand watching the performance, the passion and energy that you guys mentioned was the boys working extra time to correct all faults they don't have control over and making sure all the Armies that were there still had a night to remember. In terms of how long the performance was, I don't think it was a slight against BTS, I think it was geniuenly all that Iheartradio could buy considering how high demand and busy the boys are. Overall I think BTS and BigHit have made their stance when it came to the whole thing when they didn't @ Iheartradio properly on their socials, most likely we won't see a performance with them again. Anywho thank you guys for your reaction as always.💜✨

OT7LUVHARBINGER

Those people don't have enough money to pay BTS they announced on their Instagram 4 songs ans did the songs they announced. People likes to be dramatic BTW I watched it live on D+ and the sound was atrocious. They picked that engineer from the worse place.

Isabela Carrillo

They did advertise 4 songs. They were probably only payed to perform 4 songs. The main issue was the audio. You could barely hear V and you could see him basically scream into his mic 😂 I'm pretty sure it was just because they were not ready to control 7 mics at once. And the audio engineers were a bit overwhelmed and confused.

Saha

tbh I was too excited during the performance to even realize there were any issues till after the fact lmao but thanks for the reaction guys amazing as usual

Frokenmariaw ⟭⟬💜

Please, please, could you make the video a little bigger? 😅 We can see more of the bookshelves than the actual video! I’ve mentioned this a few times now, and I’m sure I can’t be the only one who finds it hard to see what you’re watching on a phone. 😢💜

Jessica

The crowd was so loud! It was just muted for broadcast & yes mic issue through broadcast were awful. But the boys did sooooo amazing as usual

ckive

i was here! the energy was great but when i watched the livestream when i got home i got why people were disappointed. in person i couldn’t hear V a bunch during fire and i was superrrr sad they ended so early cause all the other acts were 30 minutes!!

Bina⁷

Okay thanks for clearing this up! Because watching this I kept thinking this isnt so bad, was I just way too sensitive?? Which honestly still might be the case

Bangtan’sNikki ⁷

We definitely tend to be very overprotective of BTS. They have been mistreated so many times I think a lot of of us have trauma. With that being said, it was still very bad during the stream, but I think all of the anger about the set list and them being last to perform was BTS’s choice so I think we jumped the gun on that one. Lol🫣💜

Jessica

IHeart was receiving backlash bc their official podcasts and man who was working the event called army losers, mocked JK’s name and told us all to “suck it” after some AMRY were wondering why BTS got a significantly shorter set than the rest of the acts. Turns out BTS are just expensive so they could only pay them for 15 mins

Arshdeep kaur

It was V shouting that's right, he has to shout the whole time because the MIC was low lol

Stella⁷

Yes we made so much noise there!!! even for the Mic Drop fanchant we did great but we can not hear a thing THATS CRAZY IMEAN WHY WOULD U DO THAT THATS A FESTIVAL????!!! WITHOUT THE CROWD IT'S NOTHING IT'S JUST BORING!

Stella⁷

You're right guys, it was good but it could have been much better! And the racist direspectful people from some unkown podcast was just too much YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY BOYS. Sorry but they've got what they deserved. Just to answer Charlie: we actually made so much noise there!!! even for the Mic Drop fanchant we did great but we can not hear a thing THATS CRAZY IMEAN WHY WOULD U DO THAT THATS A FESTIVAL????!!! WITHOUT THE CROWD IT'S NOTHING IT'S JUST BORING!!!

Mimi

I didn’t mind the performance but apparently it was way worse in person and it doesn’t help that iheart radio’s response to the criticism was blatant racism 🫩. Honestly jungkook is not a difficult name to pronounce.

Ruins

They were only scheduled for 15 minutes. People forget that getting is Bangtan is NOT CHEAP!!! They were paid for the alotted time and nothing more. That's why towards the end the performance ended so abruptly. The guys on the podcast however were downright and unnecessarily Rude!!! Calling ARMY a bunch of Losers and Mispronounced JK name. Totally Unnecessary. But the same guy is who is a Rage Baiter also gave the FAKEST Apology Ever. I think that's why some ARMY is upset with iheart.

Stella⁷

Talking of that, as someone who was there, I understand you guys. I can tell after seeing the video that it was good but it could have been much better!!!! So i was llike "thats ok it happens sometimes" yk but these mf racist and direspectful people from some 'whatever the f its name is' podcast... that was just too much YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY BOYS periodt. Sorry but they've got what they deserved.

Sarah

Jimin on the ground I CANTTT

Meri 🇧🇷

guys please check the 2.0 jimin fancam from this performance by slowstarter pleeeeease

Heather ⁷

Boys the crowd was muted that's why you could not hear the crowd, by all accounts by people inside the venue it was really loud also mic issues which people complained about only to have a heart radio podcaster make fun of JK'S name and call all armies losers. He was made to apologise but yet again it was a scripted apology

TAMA

You are not alone.

Alondra Villanueva

I mean, they’re all amazing, but I don’t think you’re ready to see them live! Seeing them in person is mind-blowing; I couldn't believe they were real and that they look that good. You should know that ARMY was upset because we waited through the whole show to see them, and the fact that their set was so short caught us off guard a bit; plus, the audio quality was bad throughout the entire program, not just for them.

Mary Foxx

If you guys watch fancams you can definitely hear the crowd

Butter Cup

Just my personal opinion, but I prefer the fancams to this iHeart performance. What angered me was the dipshit podcaster and his band of losers making fun of Junkook's name and talking shit about Army. In the end he gave a *heartfelt apology* (sarcasm). Our boys did great. 💜

jessedrm

No. Iheart decided to mute the fans' screaming and by doing so it affected the boys' mics sound output at the live streaming but apparently they sounded (ofcourse) better at the venue.

BEN'S REACTIONS KILL ME LMAO

pulugirl

I was wondering if they will react to Kian Bizarre B&B season 2?

Sallie

Yes, we kinda reacted too much on the set list. But the technical issue… it’s on them. I know it’s a great performance because our boys doesn’t fail to deliver. But can’t you hear how V struggled to really sing harder just for his voice to be heard. He is passionate when singing but it’s different in this performance. You can really notice how he struggled just for his voice to be heard. It’s also evident in Jimin’s performance esp on the last part of FYA. So yeah IHeart should have done better. But in the end, our boys never failed to impress us.

D

Not TTR saying it was RM during 2.0 when it was V all along. Haha! It would be great if you guys watched a fancam too.

Jeonnpatt.yy

As someone who watched the livestream you could hear the mic issues ! And I watched the whole festival every artist were having issues. I think watching it in real time you could hear it all vs watching it on YouTube after.

RhadAnne

Please vote for BTS at ARIA awards- Most Popular International Artist

Steph

Excuse me, the crowd was LOUD AF! They had to mute it for the broadcast which probably partly affected the audio quality. I'm so offended and I wasn't even there. There's no where BTS goes that ARMY wouldn't match the energy.

Steph

I appreciate you guys being informed before watching this. Also, your ending comments were reasonable. When you're spoiled by their concert production, the stark difference is a little hard to palate. But yeah, I do not think that iheartradio was being intentionally malicious. Can't say the same for the podcasters' comments a few days later.

Khaycee Estinopo

We just hope that whenever BTS visits or performs at Western events, they’re 100% welcomed and treated with the respect they deserve. Traveling all the way there while they’re already doing a tour is really no joke, so we hope they always feel welcomed and respected 🥺

Khaycee Estinopo

There’s no way they actually muted the crowd 😭 It was so unusual hearing the crowd that quiet when ARMYs are literally everywhere. Especially with BTS performing, you’d expect the crowd to be LOUD 😭

Khaycee Estinopo

We just watched the clip, and yeah, that was not okay 😭 He was being very rude and definitely went below the belt with those comments.

Khaycee Estinopo

We just watched the clip pppand yes that was not okay 😭 the guy was being very rude and definitely went below the belt with those comments

Amanda Michelle

The sound issues mostly happened during the LIVESTREAM. The sound engineers for the livestream were a different set of people from the stage sound engineers. People who were there in the audience said they didn't hear any problems with the sound. But with the livestream, the engineers tried to cut down the audience noise because they were very loud and that, in turn, muffled some of the singers' mics even more than what you heard in this recording here.

Amanda Michelle

He got so much backlash, he put out an apology video. Too little, too late. Smdh.

Gaby

Really unrelated but if one day you guys have a spot in your schedule, you should react to Cameron Philips BTS Dubs. He’s an Army who made many parody videos of BTS and I personally think it’s hilarious 💜

Siobhan 💜🫰🐨

Guys just wanna check that you're prepared for the fan chant and the 'MIANHAE EOMMA' for when you go to the concerts!!

Margi

They had no idea who they were messing with 😂 He's definitely gonna remember Jungkook's name now

Taetaelover

It was V that yelled that’s right or something in the raspy voice. He has that raspy voice, just wanted to clarify it was V not RM

Taetaelover

Vs my bias so I get abit stressed when his things get missed 🤣

G. A

Just catching up. I think didn’t feel fair for some army that we got trash ass sound production and time performance for the amount of hype they giving in all of their ads 🤡. But I agree with Seb, they always give 100% energy ni matter what, this is just another day of BTS and army having infinite aura hehe. I’ve been into kpop since 2019 and and Producers always do some sh*t like that to kpop artists hahaha.

Bantannie465

Hi TripleTake, just my 2 cents! This performance was locked behind a subscription, so for me, I expected more than the bare minimum from iHeart. The boys themselves were stellar. But as an ARMY who knows what they sound like live, the livestream audio from iHeart was trash. Like you pointed out, there were so many moments where we could barely hear Jin, V, J-Hope, and Jimin to the point that I was literally like, “HUH?!” while watching. Maybe a better way to explain why ARMY was upset is that we want the best for the boys and want them presented in the best light. We know how good they are live and how much effort they put into their performances, so we care about the quality of the final product and how BTS is presented. A lot of that frustration comes from ARMY’s support for BTS. On top of that, like you guys mentioned, the energy from the crowd felt lacking. But ARMY was literally muted during the livestream too. BTS and ARMY perform together. Half of Mic Drop’s energy is ARMY’s turn to perform lol. While others may disagree, all of these errors on iHeart’s end made me feel like they booked a huge act without doing the proper homework or preparation for what a BTS performance actually involves. For me, this is also why I have a hard time enjoying a lot of American artists and acts that are heavily pushed on the radio or considered some of the biggest artists. Their performances can feel lackluster to me. BTS has honestly spoiled ARMY. I personally expected only four songs, but I also understand why many ARMYs felt the ending was too abrupt. If iHeart could only give/get BTS 17 minutes, they still could have planned the ending better instead of BTS abruptly leaving the stage, the lights coming on, and everyone basically being told to go, as many ARMY described. For a paid livestream and an act of this size, I think people expected a more polished production. Then, to make things worse, when ARMY went online to voice these complaints, iHeart radio show hosts basically talked their shit about ARMY. Which, honestly, who cares because I did not even know you existed on this planet until you had ARMY/BTS’ name in your mouth lol. But then they took it one nasty step further and were PROUDLY racist toward BTS on their show. That is not acceptable. It is 2026. So while I can admit that some ARMY were premature with the complaints about only getting four songs, iHeart ended up giving us a whole lot more legitimate things to criticize. Between the livestream audio, muting the crowd, the abrupt ending, and then their own hosts responding to ARMY with racist behavior toward BTS, iHeart has a lot more flaws in my book than the number of songs BTS performed. Anyway, I love watching your guys’ reactions and I do appreciate the positivity! The way J-Hope made Ben clutch his pearls is the SAME thing that happened to me HAHA! I still can’t believe Hobi basically Baepsae’d Disney+’s cameras. 😂 I am grateful iHeart gave us Yoongi in a cropped tee and I learned that the DJ/sound production team behind BTS/ARIRANG deserve their flowers!!!

BT_Beyv

Yah they muted the crowd

BT_Beyv

I don’t mind the four songs bc they were able to headline with the amount of time they wanted to do and the songs they wanted to do. BTS aren’t the underdogs anymore- the sound sucked tho

TAMA

BRILLIANT!

OctolingO

15:54 I was waiting for your reaction to the Jimin hitting the "look ma no hands" during mic drop

Tin Tin

So far it was mentioned that I heart radio can only afford to pay them for 4 songs. BTs was the biggest star in that event. So it understandable that they can only perform on what was agreed on

J-Lee

Guyss atp I don't think ARMy would give iHeart a hard time if they really didn't deserve it. What probably pissed army so bad was seeing the boys walk off the stage pissed. JK even was the first to walk away which he never does. They don't do that to Army after a performance, and to see them like that means they were REALLY pissed too. So that's probably what fired up Army the most. I kinda felt so bad for my bbys Tae and Chim seeing them shout and strain their voices like that just coz the damn mic wasn't working well 😞😩

BT_Beyv

Hearing RM speak German was a trip , Vs face looking at RM was so funny too

the issue was during the live, they fixed some of the issues for the posted performance, but for an organisation like iheart, the livestream was ridiculous. they muted the crowd, which is fine, but they also consistently messed with hobi, seokjin and taehyungs mics. it wasnt a one off thing, it was continous and was even worse during the livestream where they didnt fix it up for the posted version. the camera angles were terrible, they wouldnt even be showing the person singing half the time, and you can tell that their in ears werent working. in all my years of watching bts' performances, i dont think ive seen them struggle with the beat the way you could tell it was happening here. yoongi and jungkook coming in late multiple times, their voices varying in volume, an artist's biggest fear before going on stage is their in-ears not working, because that means they have NO metronome, no nstrumental, AND they can hear the crowd shouting in the stadium. again, if it was a tour thing, or a smaller organisation ofc id understand, but this is a massive organisation that bts sacrificed a lot to perform for. you could kinda tell the boys werent too happy at the end either, its just irritating when you do these shows, and you have to perform through such rookie mistakes that couldve easily been fixed by stage management. also, every single other artist had a massive sign off, with background music playing, the dancers bowing, whilst bts literally felt abruptly cut off. they were only scheduled to perform 4 songs, but the crowd in real time were hella confused because literally every other artist had a nice, extravagant wrap up, whilst bts just had to walk off. and then the iheartradio hosts saw all this controversy and thought to racially subjugate jungkook, call armys losers, and diminish what happened. just a mess, and none of this would EVER, EVER happen to a western artist. an artist lke bts, at that calibre should not be facing things like this

This version was WAY more polished than the one I saw. I didn't even watch it live, I watched it a couple days later and you could barely hear Jimin and V for sure, I think even Suga's mic was quieter. And you could barely hear the audience at all. (TTR even noticed how quiet the audience was) But BTS are ever the professionals and will always put on an awesome show, no matter what problems they face ! 🥰 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Literally Ilya Rozanov vibes when V said ”Vegas is hot tonight, should we make it hotter? ” 🗣️🗣️

I understand the technical issues, it’s a live performance and anything can happen.

The 17 mins performance of bts is actually agreed by both the company because just like Seb saying their talent fees is so expensive, compared to other artist perform there so thats why they settle in that time to match the amount that iheart radio management can afford to pay💜and our boys turned the show into their concert🥰
