THE FUSE

On a rain-soaked opening night in Goyang, BTS launched the Arirang World Tour with a 23-song set that moved between new material and catalog touchstones. As one of this year’s most anticipated tours, as well as the first of three sold-out nights, the Thursday (April 9) show arrived with obvious weight, and the crowd met it in kind, staying fully engaged through the weather and giving the evening much of its emotional charge from the outset.
