  • Story Text: K-pop group BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan in Korean, which means Bulletproof Boy Scouts, held a concert in Singapore on Saturday (December 13).
    The seven-member boyband is on its very first Asia tour, making stops in Japan and Philippines before Singapore.
    Many fans arrived more than eight hours before the show to meet other fans and pick up banners to raise during the concert.
    Teenage girls made up most of the audience on Saturday, with many agreeing the dance choreography is what attracted them.
    "They are well known, compared to other k-pop groups, they are well known for their hip-hop music and their in-sync choreography. K-pop idols tend to have their own images, but BTS, they tend to be just themselves in any kind of shows," said 16-year-old Kimberly.
    "For me personally I like BTS because of their choreography and originality in their songs and also not to mention their visuals," added 15-year-old Syamera, who also brought gifts for the boys.
    Performing to an audience of almost 3,000, BTS showed the fans their suave dance moves to loud hip hop music.
    Fans waved lightsticks enthusiastically while singing along to the Korean songs.
    BTS will perform in Thailand on December 20 as their last stop for the tour.
