Is it just us, or do so many of your ARMY friends say Love Yourself: 轉 Tear is their fave BTS album, too? Who could blame them, though? It’s a thing of beauty! 2018 was a strange and turbulent year for BTS (just listen to ‘Outro: Tear’), but a lot of us still remember it fondly because it brought us so many BTS milestones. Their career and fame really skyrocketed in 2018, but some things stayed consistent… like BTS’ unparalleled stage presence. Here are a few performances from BTS’ Love Yourself: 轉 Tear era to remind you!
‘Airplane pt.2’ At MAMA 2018
Look. We thought we’d just get this one out of the way. You were fully expecting to see this thumbnail, right? This version of ‘Airplane pt.2’ is probably one of the most beloved BTS performances of all time. Everyone who has joined the fandom since can probably remember watching this on their deep dive into becoming ARMY!
‘FAKE LOVE’ On Inkigayo
Yeah, we went with an obvious pick first, but you assumed you’d see the BBMAs performance next, didn’t you? We have a lot of love for that performance as a milestone in BTS’ career and the global expansion of K-Pop. However, we went for this one instead, because BTS are wearing their outfits from the Love Yourself: Tear concept photos. These photocards are still some of the best ever.
‘Anpanman’ On Music Bank
Is the choreography for ‘Anpanman’ going to live in our heads rent-free for the rest of time? It certainly seems like it! We’re still totally in love with this song for that reason (and more), but honestly, we put this performance on the list because BTS’ outfits for ‘Anpanman’ during Love Yourself: Tear promotions were a little… out there. Case in point: Jin’s trousers.
‘Airplane pt.2 (Summer Ver.)’
There are a few songs from Love Yourself: Tear that we wish BTS had given the music video treatment, and ‘Airplane pt.2’ is definitely one of them! We got pretty close to it though, thanks to this ‘(Summer ver.),’ and we’ll take any opportunity we can get to see BTS goofing around, too!
‘FAKE LOVE’ At 2019 GDA
Ok, this performance is from early 2019, and the Love Yourself: 轉 Tear era was Spring/Summer 2018. We were lowkey already pushing the limit with that MAMA performance earlier on. But the song is from Love Yourself: 轉 Tear, so it counts! We reckon you’ll forgive us when you remember how great this ‘FAKE LOVE’ stage was, complete with more props than we can count and endless stage presence.
These are just five of the performances we’re recommending you rewatch, but we all know there’s at least ‘134340’ more (get it?). What’s your favorite BTS track from the Love Yourself: 轉 Tear? Got a standout performance we missed? Hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!
