The 8 BTS concerts/musters were given to viewers for free amidst the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world, forcing people to be quarantined in their homes.
BigHit and BTS could have earned a substantial sum by airing these 8 BTS concerts for a fee, but they did not. This goes to show that the legendary boys and their company is indeed true to their mission: “Music for Healing”. They care more about how they can produce music to help people around the world conquer their fears, and to heal and love themselves.
Watch their single, “ON”, from their latest album, “Map of the Soul:7”
