The eight concerts that were streamed during the first “Bang Bang Con” event were:
- 2015 BTS LIVE: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage
- 2016 BTS LIVE [The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage: Epilogue]
- BTS 2014 Live Trilogy: Episode II The Red Bullet (2014 Memories)
- BTS 3rd Muster [ARMY.ZIP+]
- 2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour In Seoul
- 2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour The Final (2017 Memories)
- BTS 4th Muster [Happy Ever After]
- BTS World Tour ‘Love Yourself’ Seoul
That summer, BTS followed up with ‘Bang Bang Con: The Live’, a 90-minute pay-per-view concert. The virtual performance was held on June 14, a day after the band’s seventh anniversary.
‘BTS’ recently dropped the new song ‘Film Out,’ a collaboration with J-pop band Back Number that appears as the ending theme in the new Japanese film ‘Signal: Long-Term Unsolved Case Investigation Team’. The track will be included on the septet’s next Japanese-language album, ‘BTS, The Best’, which is scheduled for release on June 16.
