The face-to-face concert in Korea is the first time in two and a half years since "BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" (BTS WORLD TOUR LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF [THE FINAL]) in October 2019. This performance was part of the "BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE" series, which connects online concerts and LA concerts in October last year, and an upgraded version of the performance was held from the first day since it was a face-to-face concert in Seoul after a long time.

The key point of the concert, which focuses on the "meeting" of BTSs and fans, along with the message in "permission to dance," is the moment when the message contained in the song is realized in Seoul. BTS carefully selected songs that were never shown in face-to-face performances at the concert, songs that BTS wanted to show to fans, and songs that fans would want to see, and performed from the first day.
