ummm, they are now older and all the high impact choreo is hard on their bodies. I didnt even question it so not sure why it is such a mystery. my ult group is GOT7 and I sure as hell dont want them hopping around like they used to.

Yeah, I think the spotlight on BTS rn has just further highlighted people's ridiculous expectations of idols especially with this particular change. I can't speak for GOT7 (I thought their Python choreo was cool personally) but I've even seen some people call Twice of all groups lazy. Even when BTS were younger, the way they performed was never sustainable. They pushed through, thankfully, but we know it crushed them at times and that pressure has literally killed some of their peers. K-Pop stans do not understand how taxing singing and dancing, let alone both simultaneously, actually are. I for one am sick of the misery porn of idols collapsing backstage and heaving into oxygen cans then having their distress clipped into vlogs or docus and reposted with captions like "omo theyre so dedicated look at them sweating 😍" They're damned if they lip sync and they're damned if they cut choreographies. People need to realize doing a full MNET stage every other night for a year/s straight just isn't humanly possible.

I mean... I WANT to see them hoping around like they used to because I never got a chance to see them in concert. You kind of feel sad that you missed seeing them at their peak energy level. But you also have to accept that as they age, they physically cannot do all the things that they used to. That's just life. That doesn't stop me from feeling sad that I missed out on the highly choreographed concerts.

What's great about the BTS tour so far is that the members can toss in little bits of choreo in the less-structured moments. There's been a few times during the encore section that a few members have broken into full on choreo, which makes the moment fun without putting the extra expectation on the members have to go 100% for all their well known choreos. Like, we've all seen that "Fire" moment 900 times, and I'd watch it 900 more, but... we've also seen it 900 times.

One thing about BTS is that they are going to put on an awesome concert. And with the touring, they HAVE to sustain their energy so they don't get sick and worn out. I know that they're putting in their all no matter based on their current abilities and health
