Show director discusses PTD Seoul 2022 concert setlist, states BTS will perform never-seen-before songs

On March 8, OSEN reported BTS’ PTD Seoul 2022 concert director Ha Jung-jae’s words regarding the highly-anticipated upcoming event. The director shared that the group will change the setlists for each concert to give fans a richer experience.

The setlist was gifted to fans who waited nearly two and a half years for the group to perform in the country. Ha Jung-jae shared that the team and the group’s aim is for the artists to feel closer to the fans and vice versa.

To give fans a rich experience, they will install large LED screens, which were previously seen at a recent PTD concert in Los Angeles. These are the biggest LED screens and were explicitly made for ARMY and the group to have a bigger and better look at each other.

Additionally, they will also have ‘movable LED’ screens that can “move up and down and back and forth” to provide fans with various angles and make the performances more vibrant.

The concert is for the fans who have waited a long time. Hence, Ha Jung-jae shared the importance of choosing a setlist and the process. They also considered the group’s preferences and the fans’ preferences and put the entire discography on the table from the very beginning.

The team mainly focused on group songs rather than solo songs. In a recent live stream, Jin shared that he hoped to perform Super Tuna, but it was rejected as it was his solo song.

Ha Jung-jae added that ON and Black Swan from the album Map of the Soul: 7 are included in the setlist. He said,

There was also speculation of BTS releasing a new song as a surprise for fans. Though the seven-member boy group has been touring America, its last concert in its home country, South Korea, was Love Yourself: Speak Yourself [THE FINAL], back in October 2019.

The group will perform for three days in Seoul. Live-viewing of the concert for one day, March 12, will be available in select theaters in select countries.
