BTS Permission To Dance on Stage 2022: this is the euphoria that ARMYs experience in Latin America to see their idols in concert

the korean band bts moved all his fans by announcing that he will be holding a global broadcast of his “Permission To Dance on stage” concert from Seoul. Her fans in Latin America were no exception and, in record time, they sold out all available tickets to see their idols.

In Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru, the ARMY lived this announcement euphorically and they cannot wait for this Saturday, March 12, to see their favorite group on the screens. El Comercio spoke with representatives of the fandom of these countries, who were very excited about the event.

Enthusiasm for Tickets

After the announcement made by the group, the fans of the region eagerly awaited that the theaters in their towns would reveal the beginning of the sale of tickets for the broadcast that would be held to see Jin, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin , V, and Jungkook from South Korea.

In Peru, Cinemark and Cineplanet were chosen to hold the event in their theaters. To purchase their tickets, ARMY had two options: through the website or approach the ticket offices. This generated long queues, both in person and virtually.

Through social networks, the fans made their discomfort felt at the lack of tickets to see BTS; however, they were unable to get movie theater chains to increase capacity. “”said Lili Jaramillo, a member of the ARMY in Peru.

In the case of Ecuador, Cinemark is in charge of broadcasting the concert from Seoul and there was great demand through its website since the beginning of the sale; although it will only be available in two cities: Guayaquil and Quito. “There was a great reception, many people wrote to us looking for information. Many were left out.”, acknowledged Anabel Bonilla, a member of the staff of BTS Ecuador. Around two thousand fans managed to purchase their tickets, and later the capacity was increased to 850 more people.

His colleague Lu Barros added that they contacted Cinemark to see the possibility of opening even more theaters, but received the refusal of the chain. “They are not pre-recorded, but it is a live broadcast, so they only enabled those rooms in those two Cinemark locations. Even the tickets they sold were limited due to the issue of capacity and distance “he added.

In Argentina, from the announcement of the concert there was a whole madness. Pauli González, a member of the Bangtan Army Argentina staff, said that many followers bought tickets online, although others did so directly at the Cinépolis box office. “”.

CineColombia is one of the networks in charge of broadcasting Permission To Dance on Stage in the border country. Sonia Gómez, a member of BTS Colombia, stressed that it is an atypical situation that has been experienced because they had not seen a similar demand.

“The presale to see BTS was, if you will, a BOOM! In the main cities of the country, CineColombia expanded the theaters so that no Colombian ARMY is left without having this beautiful experience (…) We are very grateful “said.

The expectations

The great euphoria that ARMY is experiencing for the concert that they will be able to enjoy in movie theaters this Saturday is evident. But, what are the expectations they have about the big event? Argentina’s Pauli González stressed that the fandom has high expectations and wants to have a good time.

“It is a stir, both in Argentina and in other countries. But the only thing ARMY wants is to have a good time, enjoy this that would be like a concert for us. We know that BTS has not yet been able to come to Argentina and the idea is to have a good time, have fun, meet new people. There are many ARMYs who want to meet each other, since due to the pandemic they only speak on the internet.said.

For her part, Yorla Venegas of the ARMY in Colombia pointed out that they will finally have the opportunity to meet to see – even if it is on the screen – their favorite musical band. “P”he specified.

Meanwhile, Joselyn Ríos from Ecuador stressed that they have been surprised by the great reception the event has received in her country. “We are flattered that Ecuador is part of the broadcast. We hope that ARMY enjoy the presentation and live a pleasant moment with each other and feel the adrenaline of what it is like to live a face-to-face concert.

Finally, in our country the expectations are similar: enjoy. Lili Jamarillo, a member of ARMY Peru, added that she hopes to see the best performance of Bangtan. “I have found out through social networks that the boys have been rehearsing several songs. I’m still a little sad because it won’t have the same feeling since Korean fans aren’t allowed to shout and can only clap. But still super excited.”he specified.

BTS in Latin America?

The great demand for the concert via streaming evidenced in Latin American countries provides a light of hope for ARMY. They hope that the Korean group will take the countries of the region into consideration in one of their next tours and finally be able to see them perform live.

From Ecuador they hope that BTS will see the great reception they have and give a concert in a country in the region. “ (…) It would also be very good if they take Latin America into account because we are sure that they will ´sold out´ in all their concerts”, added Lisseth López from BTS Ecuador.

For his part, Pauli González from Argentina emphasized that this experience has been totally crazy. “There are many people who have their tickets and are waiting for it to be on Saturday. We hope that this is an answer in the future and that the boys can come to Argentina to give their show. Here we will be firm, waiting for them “he acknowledged.

Ximena Valencia from Colombia stressed that “We have all the confidence and hope that it will be so, that they announce a tour of Latin America, it is something that we look forward to and that is why we put all our efforts into streaming, doing projects on behalf of BTS, we do everything that is in our hands and scope to make the fandom notice in Latin America”. “The ARMYS of Latin America are ready for the BTS Tour”, added his compatriot Yirley Suárez.

Finally, Peruvian Lili Jaramillo – who has had the opportunity to see BTS in the United States – added that she hopes to see her favorite group in our country. “I hope it can be given. I was lucky to be able to see them, but in fact it is another sensation to see them in Latin America, and especially if they come to our country.”, he finished.
