The ongoing ARIRANG world tour by BTS has led to a lively discussion among fans regarding their performance style, particularly the noticeable reduction in choreography and the absence of solo stages during the opening shows in Goyang, South Korea. Some fans have expressed disappointment, highlighting the lack of iconic songs and dynamic choreography, while others have defended the group's choices, emphasizing the necessity of pacing themselves given their demanding schedule of over 80 shows across 34 cities and 4 continents. HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk noted in a Billboard interview that the focus for certain songs, like 'Hooligan' and 'SWIM', is on music rather than heavy choreography. During the concerts, BTS performed a mix of tracks from their latest album and older hits, with the setlist remaining largely unchanged. The group is now preparing for their third show at Goyang Stadium on April 12, before heading to Japan for performances at the Tokyo Dome on April 17 and 18. RM and other members expressed their gratitude towards fans and reflected on their journey, hinting at future solo projects.
