The album will feature live recordings of BTS’ performances of various hits, including chartbusters like Dynamite and Butter, which the singers performed during the 2021-2022 Permission to Dance On Stage tour.
Other performances like Life Goes On, Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey), and ON are also part of the album’s track list. Additionally, the album will include a 141-minute concert video featuring BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook performing at Olympic Stadium in Seoul on March 13, 2022.
A 92-page interview photobook with behind-the-scenes memories from the concert will be available along with the physical copy of the album.
Suga was the last member of BTS to return to civilian life on June 21 after a 21-month public service.
On June 10, RM and V completed their 18-month compulsory military service. Jungkook and Jimin returned to civilian life a day later. The four of them joined their bandmates, Jin and J-hope, who resumed their civilian lives last year after discharge from military service.
Recently, all the members of BTS attended J-Hope’s concert at Goyang Stadium. BTS, as a band, last dropped a studio album in 2022. It was titled Proof.
