BTS’ Jungkook says cheering ban at Seoul concert made it “really difficult” to perform
nme.comBTS‘ Jungkook has shared his thoughts on the cheering ban at the group’s recent concerts in Seoul due to COVID-19.Earlier this week, the K-pop group’s label Big Hit Music said in a statement that there would be a ban on “cheering loudly, yelling, chanting and standing up” during the boyband’s Seoul concerts, in alignment with South Korean COVID-19 health guidelines.Following the group’s first show on March 10, of a scheduled three-night run for the group’s ‘BTS Permission To Dance On Stage – Seoul’ concerts at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium, BTS member Jungkook took to his personal Instagram page to share his thoughts on the ban.“Finally, after two years, although it felt like 23 years, I got to perform in Korea.
