BTS in the UK

Part Three: 2020 - 2024

With the announcement of Connect BTS, some army mistakenly went to Piccadilly Circus at 12am kst expecting something to happen. Nothing did, but they spent time together. Someone also gave out free posters.

At the beginning of 2020, the BTS UK Store was first opened. It has expanded over the years with different releases, including both albums and singles. The store was heavily featured during Chapter 2. 

On 7th May 2020 the press conference for Connect, BTS was released. The artwork was called Catharsis and would be at Serpentine Galleries between January and March. It was later revealed that the members helped pay for the collection themselves.

BTS gave a Shoutout to the people of the UK in 2021.

In February 2021, BTS performed a cover of Coldplay’s Fix You with MTV.

When Butter was released, the members spoke to Ronan Keating on the BBC. After the release, the UK took part in a trend to sing Butter in our different accents. 

They also took part in an interview with the BBC Live Lounge. 

BTS did another cover, singing I’ll Be Missing You with BBC

In September 2021, BTS collabed with Coldplay to release My Universe. This sparked a friendship which continues today. They later performed the song at AMA’s and a documentary was released showing the process, with Chris travelling to SK for the recording.

In August 2022, the Samsung ad featuring Yet to Come was shown at Piccadilly Circus.

In October 2022, Jin released the song Astronaut which was co-written by Coldplay. They performed the song in Buenos Aires and Chris kept Wootteo with him on their tour.

In May 2023, Jimin travelled to the UK for some filming. Whilst there, he did a Harry Potter tour and posted photos from it onto Instagram.

Whilst doing his UK promotions, Jungkook did a cover of “Let There Be Love” in the BBC Live Lounge. He also sang Seven

BTS in the UK Part Two: 2019

In May 2019, BTS travelled to London to perform at Wembley. An extra date was added due to tickets being sold out within 90 minutes and it was announced the concert would be broadcasted in real time on Vlive Plus. Art was seen on Brick Lane advertising it.

Due to the members being quiet the hashtag #FindBTSParty started, with Army making jokes about if BTS actually made it to London or not and where they were. Later on, Namjoon and Hobi also posted, revealing that they were indeed here.

BTS performed Boy With Luv on Britain’s Got Talent. At the end, Jin gave the rose to Dec. Dec later gave the rose to an Army who had waited a long time to get into the venue. 

There was plenty of support on the ground, with the Wembley stadium turning purple. There was also a chalk project at Piccadilly Circus, with Army writing messages of love on the pavement.

The BTS Hyundai advert at Piccadilly circus, with a massive crowd of Army watching. They also stayed behind to spend time together whilst singing and dancing.

Before their concert, BTS took part in a press conference, where they discussed the upcoming shows and answered questions about the group. The members posted photos from the event. One of the members then posted on twitter “C U Soon”, adding to the hype.

On 1st June, BTS began their first concert at Wembley.

Whilst making their way out of Wembley, Army sang back and forth “So show me, I show you” from Magic Shop.

After the concert, Jin posted a tweet taken from backstage. Namjoon posted a photo from the National Gallery and Yoongi also posted a selca. Yoongi then went on Vlive.

Before the second day began, some Army did Jungkook’s Euphoria fanchant on their way to Wembley. Jin also posted before the concert began.

BTS performed their second concert date:

Whilst getting ready for the encore, text appeared on the screen to indicate that ARMY TIME would happen at Wembley. 

Army then sang Young Forever, with everyone getting emotional.

After the concert, Hobi posted his thanks. Jungkook went Live after the concert. The Korean BBQ place called Olle posted the signatures of Jin, then of Jimin and Jungkook who had visited earlier in the week.

Jimin posted his thanks to his friends for attending. This flag was spotted around on the day, with the owners claiming to be friends of Jimin. Jimin later mentioned going around London with them and Jungkook. Jimin also kept the banners, which were later seen on BTS Festa in 2021.

BTS filmed episodes 91-94 in London, saying that they had to film inside the hotel because of the rainy weather.

A few days later, an interview was released where BTS were interviewed by Adele Roberts again.

On 9th August 2019, Taehyung/V released Winter Bear. The MV featured self-filmed scenes of London.

I mean, I get that they use communal showers, but please, bro just HAD to mention they sing this very obviously romantic song "WHILE SHOWERING AND STUFF"

Do you also wash his hair while you sing it, Koo? 😗

He could have just told us that he sings that song with Jimin all the time and that would have been good enough but my man had to go into details and made sure we knew that they sing it when SHOWERING TOGETHER!

This might be a bit off-topic, but one thing I truly admire about Jungkook is his approach to communication. When he decides to share something, he does so with intention and clarity. I appreciate that he either chooses not to share certain information or, when he does, provides it in such detail that there’s little room for misinterpretation.

It’s rare for people to take Jungkook’s stories out of context because he doesn’t leave much space for others to twist his words or manipulate the narrative. While some might still try, their efforts are rarely taken seriously.

You can often tell when Jungkook isn’t interested in discussing a particular topic he either avoids it altogether or directly states that he doesn’t feel like talking about it. But when he does want to share, he goes all in, and I love that about him.

One thing I especially love is how much he loves talking about Jimin…it’s a topic he never seems to tire of, and that enthusiasm is so endearing.

🐰: "Jimin hyung and I sang this song (Good bye by Park Hyoshin) so many times!

We sang it almost every day together while taking a shower”

BTS in the UK Part One: 2017- 2018

On 25th September 2017, BTS had its first play on UK Radio with DNA. The song was played by Olivia Jones on TheHitsRadio. This was followed on 2nd October, with the first play of DNA on BBC1 Radio with Adele Roberts, who would interview BTS later on.

Olivia interviewed Namjoon a month later, for their first UK interview. Namjoon was aware that UKArmy had sent her purple flowers as a “thank you” for playing DNA. He also mentioned chartings and wanting to go to the UK, which they were meant to do in 2017.

Adele Roberts interviewed BTS in South Korea and filmed some dance practice behinds.

The LG x BTS Advert was played at Piccadilly Circus during the summer of 2018.

The O2 Tube posted a photo of the board with BTS track names and lyrics. 

BTS performed at a sold out O2 Arena in October 2018. UKArmy were hyped up before the concert even began, by singing the songs playing out around the arena. 

Big Hit announced online that Jungkook had injured his heel and was advised to not dance on stage. At the venue, their interpreter relayed the same information. UKArmy responded by chanting Jungkook's name in support.

Backstage, Jungkook had indeed injured himself whilst warming up. The members and staff comforted him as they weighed up their options.

Jungkook went to get his stitches and the rest of the group discussed the adaptations that would need to be made. The members spoke to each other over the mics and then got into position as the concert began.

The concert continued with high energy and all the members did their best, whilst including Jungkook in the songs.

Jikook During MAMA, 2018

On 12th December 2018, BTS attended day one of MAMA in Japan. Before going up on stage to perform, Jungkook helped Jimin stretch out his outfit.

Once on stage, Jungkook and Tae helped Jimin fly during the Fake Love dance break.

During their Anpanman performance, Jimin and Jungkook did their usual high five. 

Whilst in the audience, Jimin and Jungkook whispered to each other.

Jungkook suddenly started playing with Jimin’s hands as they sat next to each other.

Jimin sat next to Jungkook with his hand on his shoulder. They were suddenly shown on the big screen and they both interacted with the camera.

This is what the main camera showed on broadcast:

Jungkook walked up to Jimin and rubbed his shoulder when Jimin started his speech for Idol winning Favorite Music Video.

When Jungkook was talking, Jimin placed his chin on Jungkook's shoulder and briefly looked at the camera.

During the backstage interview, Jimin encouraged Jungkook to speak.

At the end of the show Jimin and Jungkook played in the confetti. They then flew to Hong Kong shortly afterwards for the second day. 

On 14th December 2018, MAMA continued, where the members did an incredible introduction to Airplane pt 2.

Jungkook quickly gave the microphone to Jimin to talk.

Backstage, Jungkook watched Jimin as he explained giving more energy on stage during Idol. 

Whilst in the audience, Jimin and Jungkook sat closely together. Jimin spoke to Jungkook, with his arm around him and then touched his ear.

When BTS were announced as the winners of an award, Jungkook looked back and Jimin joined next to him. They smiled at each other as they heard Army sing the fanchants loudly.

During Jin’s revealing and emotional speech, the members comforted each other as army reacted to the news. Jimin backhugged Jungkook and patted his chest, then helped to wipe his tears away. (Clips not posted as I know some find these scenes triggering)

The Spirit of Army (In London)

Ten years ago I went to London for my first ever solo trip to attend the MCM Comic Con convention. In a poetic twist of fate, last weekend I went to London for my most recent solo trip. This included seeing the Christmas lights, something which I have always wanted to do. I also saw Benjamin Button at the theatre and attended two BTS events. In between all of this, there were also some very nice surprises!

Due to Storm Darragh, I was very delayed with my arrival into London. Thankfully I made it though and I quickly made my way to The Excel, where my hotel was. This was close to where I stayed in 2014, but thankfully transport links have improved a lot since then and it didn’t take me too long to get there. After dropping off my suitcase, I then made my way to the first BTS event for Taejin. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay long, so I just accepted my freebies and left. I had to leave early to get to the cinema, as a kind friend invited me to watch the Namjoon documentary for a second time with her. This was the first surprise of the trip and I was really happy to be able to watch it a second time. I was also in awe with just how amazing the movie looked and sounded there. It was incredible! We all aww’d or laughed at the same time, it was a lovely feeling whilst watching it together as a group.

After the movie, I walked around and admired the beautiful Christmas lights around London and then made it back to the theatre. The musical was incredible and I am still thinking about it two days later. I didn’t get back to my hotel until quite late and instantly fell asleep. I must have been very tired, because I didn’t wake up until nearly 9am the following morning. I got ready, packed and made my way to the second BTS event, which was Christmas Market themed! 

The person running the event and the other staff were lovely, as always and there was an extra *something* in the air that day. I don’t know if it’s because two members are back home or because it’s near to Christmas, but the vibes during this event were fantastic. I had so many fun conversations with the vendors and also other army at the event. I have mentioned before how some events can feel different, and I will remember this event for a really long time. It really made my heart full as I was walking around and talking to other Army. Plus buying lots of items! I was actually surprised how much Jikookery there was for sale there, but it made me really happy. 

On the way back to the station, another friend reached out to me so that we could meet up and she kindly gave me a book for my collection. We had a lovely chat until it was time for my train to leave. Sadly I stood for the entire train journey home, but it didn’t dampen my happiness. During this entire trip I was very lucky to have various friends check in on me or offer advice of where to go. They may have not been with me physically, but they were there with me in spirit and I am forever grateful for that. 

Ten years have passed since my first solo trip. I have changed in myself and my lifestyle has also changed. A lot has happened in those ten years, good and bad, but I am extremely happy where I am today. To live the way I am whilst enjoying BTS and spending time with my army friends. There is something special about it that I don’t think others would ever understand. There is a certain connection that flows between us and will continue to do so.
