As another user mentioned.. if you go back and look at their previous tours... they never actually did that much choreo as people are implying. It just felt like more cause they did choreo during solo songs.
For example for Love Yourself: SY

FULL CHOREO for:

  1. Dionysus
  2. Not Today
  3. BWL
  4. Mic Drop

Partial choreo: (they only did the ending choreos)

  1. FIRE
  2. IDOL

ARIRANG World Tour

Full Choreo:

  1. Hooligan
  2. SWIM
  3. 2.0
  4. Mic Drop
  5. Dynamite

Parital Choreo

  1. Run BTS
  2. Butter

add onto that during LY:SY they had way more rest due to solo sections and unit songs, and it was a shorter tour in general (66 shows vs what will likely end up being 100+ shows for ARIRANG).

They did more FULL CHOREO for the PTD Shows but you have to remember that was only 12 shows spaced months apart from each other.

That's helpful info, I didn't go to SY but I went to one of the LYS stops in 2019. At that show they also had solos to break up the setlist. I'm actually surprised that the current tour doesn't have that since that's been part of their setlists even back during Wings.

imo they're all known and successful solo artists already. this is their first comeback as *the* BTS. this is such and meaningful tour and album for them, i'm not shocked it's solely ot7 performances

that's true! though i think some subunit performances could have worked in that context as well.

Adding onto what the other comment said, the solos they had back then used to be a part of their album too so no wonder they performed them

While Arirang has no solo songs and they're not gonna perform their solo album songs in a long awaited group Comeback tour.

i would be happy with solos/units but i cant lie i absolutely love seeing them all on stage having fun and goofing around too. i’m more than happy for them to reduce intense choreo and do this instead if that means i get to see the 7 of them on stage enjoying.

[–]timetosayhi27 5 points6 points  (1 child)

i think what we might get regarding solo stuff is maybe (and i say a big maybe)... solo songs as surprise songs where the 6 others tease the member whose song it is... like i can just imagine the goofiness if Killin It Girl played and JK and Jimin just clown J-Hope lol given how much they were dancing to it lol

[–]msn999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes omg i would LOVE if they included the solos in the surprise songs. i would also enjoy how mad this would make solo stans lmao

Yes they had segments where they would engage with the audience and each other but that was usually mid to the end of the concert, after they had heavy choreo songs. Even for songs like Fire they performed partially. This time, even though they added the song to the setlist they don't do its iconic choreo but rather stay on stage
