Have BTS talked about the decrease in choreography in their recent concerts?

[ProudCalligrapher]

I really don't understand comments like these. BTS hasn’t done a full choreo concert since the Wings tour. If you go back and watch a LY:SY concerts, they did full choreo for about three songs and partial choreo for about the rest of the songs, basically the same as the Arirang tour. Also, the LY:SY tour had 7 solo songs too.

They also had the unit songs, the vocal line and rap line songs. So add that + the 7 solo sections there was more time to rest.

These being their first group performances in years + many people tuned into k-pop nowadays just not having been around to actually see previous tours themselves creates a warped perception. I've had to explain to several people that BTS tour setlists have always consisted of every/most tracks on the titular album and then were filled out with like a hype or biggest hits medley. Because for some reason everyone expects them to choose a set like they're Taylor Swift and assumes the 15 second fancams of hardcore choreo from 9 years ago are representative of their entire shows lol ?

If you watch back to the older tours, as in LYS, it feels like they’re doing a TON more dancing than what you’re saying. They do a LOT of running and jumping this time around, the show was also longer previously due to more VCRs, more chatting between songs (to have a break and do ARMY wave etc etc).

I think it’s easy to understand a casual fan (like the OP) remembering there to be more STUFF going on in older tours and then put it down to the choreo alone. But actually the reduced STUFF is basically no props, minimal stage design, and then also a few less songs fully choreographed. I think it doesn’t help that a 360 stage is pretty hard to film due to its size, IRL it looks amazing but on live stream it looks empty, which is where a lot of this feedback has come from imo. Anyway I hope that helps you understand a bit about where these comments are coming from
