I remember the whole fandom going crazy about this performance. 2019 was something else I swear 🔥🔥

Lol Asian award shows put western award shows to COMPLETE shame

41:50 “are you ready for this?” “ready for this? we’re not THERE yet??” LMAOOOOO I DIED

Only BTS can turn an Award Show into their Freakin’ Concert 🙌🔥🔥🔥

The horse section was pre recorded for safety and animal welfare reasons.

the funny thing is that it was an award, but they turned it into their own concert.

Imagine this performance in Grammys ? Do u think any artist would like to be next after them ? This is BTS performance look like but trust me every single year it goes better and better ! They are Epic performers!

Cody👁 Jimin🎶 Cody: what a tasty vocal 😂

My favorite part is Jimin's solo dance, he did it live and it is so difficult to perform this dance with that fabric but he did it incredible he always goes further, he is a true artist.

Jimin said by the end of Dionysus, he felt like throwing up. They really give 1000% when they perform.

Me 10 minutes in "Just fire? wait for the horses and giant Jaguars..." Lmao they really go hard, nothing quite like a BTS performance

Jimin high note! 💜 thank you for loving what BTS do, they always work hard

10:39 Jimin with glasses on with high notes and Jungkook harmonizing everytime amazes me

I can't express Jimin dancing. It's beyond imagination, really cool. I can never take my eyes off Jimin, He looks like an angel dancing

Just say that bts performances can’t be compare with anyone, they always surprise us with another legendary performances. I don’t know if you watched MMA 2020, one of the best stages on kpop.

Jimin is such an excellent dancer and he sings so beautifully, every day he surprises me more, I admire him from the day I met him.💜💜💜💜

Fyi: They have to pay for their own production for this performance so if u see how massive it is then u can imagine how big their budget is. $$$ Also they dont get paid for this performance from the broadcast or organisers. That is why we love them cos they put so much effort for no pay.

Btw, this MMA performance was just a Korean Prestigiuous award show and not BTS solo concert. Since 2016 BTS started to turn all their performances like their very own mini concert! Their concept is always unique & the best that you'll never know what to expect and you will just be blown away once you see their entire performances not to mention their extravagant productions! Recently other Kpop groups are also doing the same, but still BTS always give the different high level of performances which is incomparable. Also, about their solo performances, they were all pre recorded since they need to change the stage productions to highlight each member's solo performances aside on Jimin's I NEED U performance, that one is live and not pre recorded since his solo didn't use some stage props but a piece of cloth, lighting effect & of course his breathtaking legendary dancing! Jimin shook the world with that very short performance. A lot of local & International Media raved about it, even many youtubers who have reacted to the performance kept repeating that part, celebrities & the GP talked about it for several days, many were blown away even called it a masterpiece as Jimin showcased his great contemporary skills, he was like a Dance God dancing under the moon with that beautiful lighting effect that added more artistic vibe along with that music instrumental. Also in 10:37 time stamp, it was Jimin who hit that very high note, Jungkook was also singing along but Jimin sang the higher part. Thank you so much for your amazing reaction!

I have been fortunate to have seen them live 7 times.5 in Korea 2 in LA. One of the perks of being older ARMY (67) we have our own money to spend.I have seen a lot of great concerts in my time but nothing compares to these guys.I been watching kpop for more than 2o yrs and there has never been anything like them. 🤗💜

Jimin just open his mouse Cody : oh it's so high i love him. 😂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Each member was supposed to represent a Greek God V - Appolo Jin - Ares Jimin - Aphrodite Suga - Hades Jungkook - Posiden Jhope - Zeus RM - Dionysus Which Dionysus is the name of the song they were about to preform. Basically, it was a huge introduction to a song. Its so extra I love it

Jimin He is an idol, but he's actually doing art, He dazzled the whole world

My favorite part hands down would be Jimin's beautiful solo dance. It was just him and the white cloth but I was so blown away with the emotion and raw beauty of the dance. It gave me goose bumps. This was the turning point for me in taking a deep dive into the rabbit hole of BTS and since then (a little over a year ago), there is no turining back. Overall, I have also not seen another performance as impressive as their whole segment for the MMA 2019 was. And that was mostly live too!

JIMIN is such a phenomenal performer MESMERIZING

jimin is compared to michael jackson, prince, queen, etc many times !! we all like to say they’ve re-incarnated into his body lol. even MJ’s nephew has acknowledged him, and his vocals are very similar to the way MJ sings. truly the best artist out there rn.

Some parts were pre-recorded (live) to give them time to change. But I can tell BTS deserve every praise they get. They are true artists, hard working and genuine.

Yesss... Jimin's voice is TASTY VOICE

perhaps some day the US will give them even a fraction of that time for a performance... some day.... 😔 but yes it took months to put together and they pulled it off spending less than $1m ☝️

Jimin’s high notes is so amazing, can you react Jimin’s vocal, rap part in Tony Montana please, that is so great.

your favorite solo segment is j-hope’s solo and that fake love version will always be the best, he’s popping so hard!

Just wanted to let you know, in their solo dance performances, they portrayed Greek gods and goddesses V represented Apollo, the god of Sun. Jin represented Athena, the goddess of Justice (and many other things). Jimin represented as Artemis, the goddess of Moon. Suga represented Hephaestus, the god of Fire. Jungkook represented Poseidon, the god of Sea. JHope represented Zeus, the god of Thunder. RM represented Dionysus the god of Wine and Festivity.

4:56 wanted to let you know just to give context: the song playing, the uniforms they are wearing, basically the whole school setting is a callback to their Skool Luv Affair album (2014). This was the third album of the school trilogy era. Edit: 24:04 i love these parts all of the different members are personifying different gods and different eras of their career.

It's offciall. After almost two years I'm still petty that they cut away from Jimin's body roll in Dionysus xD

Cody: three songs and they are looking a bit tired Me: just wait....... In the second part they all represent Greek gods and it is remixes of their own songs playing in the background of each dance.

Thats why Suga said K-pop is not just about music but more like "Integrated Content" which include their fashion,make-up, dance or choreo, stage and everythings came together..

BTS sets the bar so high.

12:27 this is massive and amazing Me: he hasn’t even seen half of it 😂😂😂

Parts of this performance were pre-recorded which is why the outfit changes etc were so smooth. This includes the start of persona (first song), mikrokosmos (fourth song which is why it’s edited so well), some of the members solo stages ( I can’t remember which others but I know Jungkooks - dance in water- was recorded) and also the start of Dionysus when they had the horses on the stage because of course it would be too dangerous and scary for the horses to be there live. Also each members solo stage involved them dancing to a remix of one of there older songs. It started with V dancing to “No more Dream” (2013), then Jin to “Danger” (2014), then Jimin dancing to “I need U“ (2015), then Suga to “Fire” (2016), then Jungkook dancing to “Save me” (2016) then Jhope dancing to “Fake Love” (2018) then RM finishing it off with that walkout to “Dionysus” (2019). These guys really said we don’t know 2018 😂. Also the backing track to the Dance break during Dionysus was a remix to their 2013 song “N.O”. Sorry if this makes no sense.

They opted to a Greek theme because the song is called 'Dionysus' the God of wine in Greek mythology. The second song is one of their early songs called 'Boy in Luv' from their school trilogy that's why they went with the school theme and then they transit to one of their recent song called 'Boy with Luv' from Map of the soul trilogy that inspired by Jung's Map of the soul book which is about your inner personas. Boy With Luv is in the same album as the first song which is called 'Persona'. Then they transit to Mikrokosmos the reason why they crowd was pretty quiet was because it was a pre-recorded (same with the scene with just the horses in Dionysus intro) and then they transit into their live performance dance solos (Idol,Danger, I NEED U,FIRE, Save Me, Fake Love, Dionysus).I've watched them live in New York Citifield in 2018 and New Jersey Metlife Stadium in 2019. BTS member have their solo songs so each member has their own stage for solos. BTS concert Setlist is about 25-30 songs total with 5 of them being medley

This incredible high highnote in the first song "Boy in Luv" was by Jimin and Jungkook

The band's 40-minute performance is the result of three months of preparation. the members represented the 7 Greek gods. Of course, the venue for the ceremony at the time of BTS's performance turned into Mount Olympus. Jin- Pallas Athena; Suga - Hephaestus; J-Hope - Zeus; RM - Dionysus; V- Apollo; Jimin - Artemis; Jungkook is Poseidon. They took away 8 awards, 4 of which are daesangs (grand prizes) (no one has ever won 4 prizes at once in ‘one evening’). The stage production alone employed 270 people, and 170 singers joined BTS's seven members on stage. It took three dozen additional makeup artists to create the look for each participant in the numbers, and the costume designers selected 218 vestments! 11 songs were used for the performance. According to the employee of the award itself, the guys literally fell off their feet after the performance, some of the guys, becoming a group, literally carried in their arms.

Jimin’s vocal is really impressive, can you react more Jimin’s solo live performance please

I am 74 years old. I discovered BTS earlier this year. I was also blown away. I have watched everything about them since they formed BTS in 2013. It was a long hard road for them to get to where they are. I have bought CD's and listen to them on SPOTIFY. I love many genres of music and stage shows and have never been addicted to any groups or singers. Please listen or read the English subtitles of their songs, there are meaningful messages in their songs. BTS members are all talented in their own right. It's taken me hours and hours of watching everything they have done. Jimin is the artist that can reach those unbelievable high notes. He is also trained from a very young age in Contemporary Dance. 3 Wrappers and Hiphop are the oldest . RM, Jayhope and Sugar. 4 vocalists. Hope you enjoy the ride. And yes, their live performances are exceptional. ❤

Jimin in their latest vlive said that after the performance he felt like throwing up because of Dionysus intense coreo.

The lights represents each member as they form the constellation the Corona Borealis. Since this is a performance to Greek gods, the constellation was from Greek mythology representing when God Dionysus gave the crown to Cretan Princess Ariadne who put it in the heavens. It was named the Northern Crown in Latin, first catalogued by the Greek astrologer Ptolemy. When all 7 lights are in place, that is what the constellation looks like.

I have seen them in concert twice- once in US and once in Korea. I am 35 and I love live shows and have been to ~80-90 concerts in my life of all different music styles and have NEVER been to a show as epic as a BTS live is. Imagine this for 2.5-3 hrs straight- and add in the most amazing crowd energy you have ever felt and you might be able to come close to imagining how awesome it is. I can't wait for them to start touring again

V : *breaths* Literally every reactor : *they're so smooth*

i told you..BTS is unstoppable..their always great in every performance but this is my fav..frm the beginning to solo performance to ending its amazing..

That high u said was jimin...also the tasty vocal...was also jimin ..thanks he sings alot of high notes begind BTS songs..also There's other member called Jin he sing a hing notes too..both of em are great

for the solo parts, they each performed their old songs. for v: No more Dream Jin: danger jimin: I need u suga: fire jungkook: save me jhope: fake love rm: intro for Dionysus the 7 light bulbs represents a constellation. i forgot what that is but i know that it's related to some greek stuff.

I love how ur blown away with this award show. Comments below " puts US to shame" is being so light... BTS is worth every second of watching... they give their 1000% every time...no matter what they create...

this performance is one of the living testimonies why i don't agree that BTS is overrated. edit: 42:49 "It's over already?" It's a 37 minute video..but i agree it's short.

I'm so happy that you decided to also put the full performance reaction on KZfaq

Jungkook’s voice is so heavenly and soothing, he is the best vocalist in the group and the one and only main vocalist. He can do anything with his voice, can even rap and rock and sing any style or genre he wants, he’s just so talented at everything he does.

The crowd is actually going crazy . They are actually aiming it and it was so amazing I cried they did too

BTS's Performance at MMA 2019 was LEGENDARY but for me The STAND OUT was my Absolute AMAZING BIAS #JIMIN #JIMIN #JIMIN My Eyes Filled with Tears of JOY 💖Tears of PRIDE 🥳 Tears of Ecstasy 🔥as My Brilliantly Talented, Creatively Intelligent, Super Gorgeous BIAS #JIMIN #지민 #ParkJimin SLAYED his overall performances here BUT OMGosh his "I Need You" performance is STILL SLAYING❣

The lights that come down above the stage form the constellation Corona Borealis. It represents the crown given to Ariadne by Dionysus then cast into the heavens at the time of their wedding. ( there are seven stars, being gifted to ARMY) Dionysus is the Greek God of wine and festivities. BTS's song is about getting drunk on art. The Korean words for art and alcohol share a similar sound. The leopards seem out of place but the stories of Dionysus have him riding with leopards as he traveled showing people how to make wine.

You're such an outstanding BTS analyst and reviewer! Thank you so much for this video😄 Love fr9m Korea💜🇰🇷

It is the respect that BTS has for its public and ARMY that in each award ceremony give their soul, their talent, their physical effort. And they still call them "That Korean Boy Band" and question their success. This is a clear example of why they are number one worldwide. Talent, professionalism, Principles, love for their fans, being genuine, is the definition of a good artist and the answer to BTS's success.

Ig it takes up to 3 months to prepare for these award show performances. They perform remixes of their songs, have a different dance break and also have to prepare all the props. Every BTS performance is legendary but every year they go all out for MMA and MAMA. In 2018 we wondered how they will top their own performance but then in 2019 we got this which they again topped in 2020. It just gets better and better. Btw here are the songs they performed - 1. Intro : Persona (RM solo) (2019) 2. Boy in Luv (was released in 2014) 3. Boy With Luv (2019) 4. Mikrokosmos (2019) 5. No More Dream (Shortened - V solo) (their debut song - 2013) 6. Danger (Shortened - Jin solo) (was released in 2014) 7. I Need U (Shortened - Jimin solo) (was released in 2015) 8. Fire (Shortened - Suga solo) (was released in 2016) 9. Save ME (Shortened - Jungkook solo) (was released in 2016) 10. FAKE LOVE (Remix - shortened - J-Hope solo) (was released in 2018) 11. Dionysus (Shortened - RM solo, then full song) (2019)

Once you JimIN you can’t JimOUT

Yes they do this throughout the 2.5-3 hr concert. Besides the full group songs, they each do a solo song and then usually some rap line, vocal line or various subunits (my personal favorite in person-outro tear-rap line, truth untold-vocal line). On the last tour which I went to, they opened with Dionysus and not today- two really hype songs as u just saw. It’s an incredible show. They start the show with the same energy they finish with- and the army keeps up! It’s really amazing💜💜💜

This whole performance is all BTS songs. The songs that they were dancing solo are their own songs. Fire, Fake Love, Save Me, etc.

that rockstar voice of v, suits the boy in luv so well

Their MMA performances are always on another level.

Have seen them perform live and it's absolutely insane how much energy the have. In concerts they usually divide into subunits for certain songs, like just rappers and just vocalists, and each member gets a solo performance too, so everyone can take a turn resting and they can all showcase their personal charm

In my opinion, Jimin literally stole this show though. Not just with his contemporary solo dance, but just all his dancing. He had the least amount of breaks and still was one of the core dancers and singers. All of them are insane. Idk how they spent that much time dancing and singing.

I almost get teared when I heard Jimin's high note. He has an angelic voice. So impressive.

Jungkook's talent, charisma, and visuals are all the best 💜

I loved it all but my favourite part was Jimin's Contemporary dance it's just so beautiful... Jungkook's dance is a close second for me. The dance you preferred was JHope's he use to be a street dancer so it's very much his style interesting the song he used was fake love but a remix version. Yes BTS are something else when they perform but they are human and do get very tired there are behind the scene documentary's that show this, they might get breaks between singing/rapping but the dancing alone is hard. I've not actually seen them live but I've watched enough of the concert as they pretty much record all of them and release them on weverse, Vlive or an DVD so yeah the do separate out either into sub-units or solo to do group/solo songs. However sometimes if it's for a muster/festa (they do special concert/performances on their anniversary such as the BTS room live that you watched) they do separate dance performances such as in 2018 Jimin and JK danced to Black or white and in 2017 Jhope, Jimin and JK did a dance as well under the group name 3J you can find dance practices and performance on the BANGTANTV youtube channel and much more.

MMA and MAMAs award are the biggest in Asia and they have consistently preparing the most original performances I have ever seen. Also those two are just 1 week between them. As they perform the songs of them last album you would expect both performance to be similar or the same, no way, nothing to do one with the other, even the song looks different because they version it or they add something or they just change the genre of the song. Go and see the MAMA award of 2019, one week after this one and see how different it is.

This hits even harder when you know the lyrics and story behind each song. It's actually really fun to be part of this kind of fandom. I don't know Korean and a lot of the fun is discovering the lyrics and stories through various translations, discussions and videos by the artists themselves.

‘‘ Everything this guys do is on another level ’’ you literally explain everything so true , I can’t...

They always give their performances 2000%...you can see in FanCams that they were so exhausted after this slumping down in the chairs and they do that for us!! it's just mind-blowing. I'm really glad you liked it.

BTS are so humble that they even let awards shows in between their concerts...

This is the reason why BTS is a global phenomena,their talent is an inspiration to all BTS ARMY fans.Love these guys so...much

Their MMA performances are always next level, especially 2020 MMA, which was epic 🔥🔥🤴👏

17:01 that was prerecorded but still singing live. That prerecorded performance give them time to be ready for the next performance with anothers clothes. And the part with the horses was prerecorded too, in the live performance they put all of the things you can see there without the horses

There are times where you got so excited and just turned your head up or close your eyes and you missed that split second of masterful cheoreography on that long table when members took turns to dance their part.

BTS are very generous when it comes to their performances. Kudos to the concept and all the people involved in the production. Only BTS can bring a live horse on the stage. It's definitely a total treat to all.

5 minutes into the performance... Cody: This is AMAZING!! I'm floored right now! This is unbelievable!! Me: Just wait, you ain't seen nothing yet.

the theme of the album released in 2019 was somewhat connected to the greek mythology. before the Dionysus performance itself every member had a solo performance with some of remixes of their biggest songs over their seven years, each member represent a god or goddess • V (Taehyung), No More Dream Remix (2013), Apolo, god of the sun • Jin, Dander (2014). Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, or Ares, god of war. stage point to the battle of Troy and the Trojan Horse • Jimin, I Need U (2015), Artemis, goddess of the moon and twin to Apollo • Suga, Fire (2016) Hephaestus, god of fire, or Hades, god of the underworld • Jungkook, Save Me (2016), Poseidon, god of the sea • J-Hope, Fake Love (2018), Zeus, god of lightning and thunder • RM, Dionysus (2019), Dionysus himself, god of wine and art, complete with thyrsus - wooden wand entwined with ivy and grape leaves, a symbol of prosperity, fertility, hedonism, and pleasure/enjoyment in general, it's compared to a mic. Dionysus is a God often called Eleutherios which means the liberator, because his wine, music and ecstatic dance freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society. As BTS compare wine to the art in the song, they are Dionysus of music industry, the gods of music and dance, who gift their listeners freedom, food for thought and a helping hand to be strong and be better seven lights that were hanging down formed the Corona Borealis - the constellation that represents the crown of Ariadne, given to her before the marriage to Dionysus, made by the god Hephaestus

the best ever BTS performance !!!! they turned award shows into their concert and it's mind blowing

again and again bts turned every awards show into their concert while singing live and dance that hard choreo as always.

omg i miss concerts so much, their end of the year award show performances are always like god-tier. ALWAYS. i’ve been to their concerts before, back when they only do arenas so the distance between the artists and audience was much more nearer (i was in the barricade like literally 5 meters away), and they really DO THINGS LIKE THIS even before. it’s life changing seeing them perform live. you’ll never see anything better. it just not the same when you watch other artists anymore. the bar is so high, in terms of set production, performance quality, everything. because of their growth, their stages got way bigger now, but they always do perform like it’s their last show.

10:39 Jimin

Now, you know what a real bts performance look like 😅 thanks for uploading the whole video here

Speechless , this cannot be explained with simple words.

Cody in the beginning of the show: "wow I'm so impressed" Me giggled intensely: dude haven't taste a thing... Yeah they just get better and better. Colossal. All the time. Massive.

BTS concerts are probably the best ones you will ever experience in your life (on par with Beyoncé concert for me). They are literally insane on stage. BTS members all have solo songs inside the BTS discography so they will perform their own songs in between group numbers. As a result you get a really great blend of and insanely exciting performances.

You truly understand the magnitude of this performance when you know the BTS discography. They put so much emphasis on their earlier works here, and so many remix versions of their songs were done just for this performance. The effort their whole team went into must have been insane.

JIN on top of the HORSE head is perfect!!! He is perfect in that scene! whose idea is this is... so bloody brilliant~ it is a masterpiece!

I love their MMA 2018 performance and it's beautiful showcase of Korean culture...and then there's 2016 - love duet of Jimin's "Lie" with J-Hope's Boy Meets Evil...and there's more. All their MMA performances are amazing.

I’ve been an ARMY since 2015, back then they did not get many opportunities to showcase their abilities on TV so when they did get a slot at ANY show, they went harddd! Their company was still small, but they invest their money where it matters the most. For BTS, its their live performance. Have a look at their performance on MAMA 2014 and MMA 2015. They may not get as much screen time as they did in 2017 onwards, but they made sure people noticed them. And I think the strategy’s paid off, their award show performance is something people look fwd to and would pay for even if it was only for 40 minutes.

He said "fireworks?! in an open building?!" and I just said to myself he has no idea what's coming LOL

The thing with BTS's extended award show performances is because of their early beautifully synchronized shorter performances that when invited groups found out BTS was going to perform, they canceled! With time to fill, these time slots were offered to BTS, which they gladly accepted!!!!!

Don't worry, the horses weren't there, the performance was pre-recorded a day before the awards, on the day of the awards the horses weren't there 💜

I was there at that time. I remember when I watched bts with my friends , we just awe throughout the performance , i still remember we kept sayin "omg this is indeed crazy performance, they r goin hard" . And all the audience also shocked because how massive and spectacular the shows.

I’ll never forget this performance happening and then 3 months later the world shut down. And they have solos at their concerts but it’s them singing/performing their solo song.
