As the 400,000 ARMYs gathered at the BTS event held at the Yeouido Hangang Park, the leader of the seven-piece group kickstarted the show with a soulful live performance of his first studio album's title track, Wildflower featuring youjeen and his solo track in the group's album, PERSONA.

The highlight of the event, the firework show for BTS' tenth-anniversary celebration, was narrated by none other than the maknae of the group. As fans waited for the fireworks to start, the idol spoke about the songs that will be played before the event kickstarted.
Before the first set of fireworks launched into the sky, the idol spoke about Take Two, the track that was recently released for the 2023 FESTA celebrations.
"This is the last song I've prepared with the memories of 10 years. Like the fireworks that embroider a dark night beautifully, thank you for brightening our lives when there was nothing. Now, let's open our curtains together," he said.
3) V and Jungkook's surprise phone call to RM
While RM was introducing the radio event, two surprises awaited him during the show. The idol was informed that his long-term fan was waiting for him on the other end of the call. He was oblivious to who had called before Jungkook revealed his identity to the idol. Happy to receive such a surprise, RM asked about Jungkook's current schedule in LA and requested him to rest after their short call.
