BTS opened their world tour with a large-scale performance, but some aspects of the production drew mixed reactions from attendees.

On April 9, BTS held the opening show of their world tour at Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, launching ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG.’

The concert featured a 360-degree stage design, allowing audiences to view performances from multiple angles.

Following the show, some fans raised concerns about visual elements, particularly the jumbotron and stage effects. Comments on social media pointed to visibility issues related to weather conditions and production choices.

Other reactions noted that while the sound quality remained strong, certain visual aspects did not meet expectations.

The tour will continue across 34 cities with 85 performances, including stops in Busan, Tokyo, and regions across North America, South America, and Europe.
