BTS Festa Challenge Day 7: Memory of 2019

Their performance at the 2019 MMAs is one of the most amazing.

Yeah, that's right, it's using a metaphor about a Greek god. If this is intriguing, check out the full 40-minute stage performance where there are more Greek god references: https://youtu.be/b9cG4DzpL_c?si=zXUpJC66dNK_Qccq
Wait, I thought of another 2018 BTS memory: their MMA award show performance incorporating traditional Korean elements and instruments to perform, "Idol." Absolutely unforgettable.
Love Yourself - Tear and Love Yourself - Answer came out in 2018!
My favorite songs from these albums:
Euphoria, capturing the excitement when you fall in love. The MV is part of their Bangtan Universe storytelling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX0vO4vlJuU
Singularity, an R&B/neo-soul slow jam in the vein of D'Angelo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8npDG2ulKQ
Dimple, as performed by the vocal line with another favorite, Pied Piper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PTsOvGQaWk

Look how energetic Suga is! He can't help it with J-Hope.
BTS Festa Challenge Day 5: Favorite memory from 2017
Their first American performance, DNA at the 2017 AMAs. This is when I first heard about them.
American camerawork spends a little too much time on the audience and wide shots of the stage, but their signature knife-like choreo and charms are evident.
