BTS’ Permission to Dance On Stage in Seoul Was a Well-Earned Homecoming: Recap - Consequence

Over two and a half years ago, in October of 2019, BTS wrapped their massive “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself” tour at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul. It was, by all accounts, a joyful night — the act was in a sweet spot at the time, selling out stadiums around the world and balancing on the cusp of truly cracking the American mainstream. Their collective star was definitively on the rise.

While the pandemic failed to really deter that trajectory, BTS did have to do a bit of course-correction over the past few years. The cancellation of their “Map of the Soul: 7” stadium tour has yielded an era of mini-residencies, like their four record-shattering 2021 nights in Los Angeles and the upcoming stint in Las Vegas, but today, March 10th, 2022, was the first time the group has been able to perform in their home city of Seoul since that 2019 evening. (Regrettably, this writer could not attend in person, but tuned in via livestream.)

The title for this collective era of shows — “PERMISSION TO DANCE” — was bittersweet and sadly ironic for the audience members in South Korea, who have been waiting so patiently to see the act at home. Members of the BTS ARMY in attendance in person didn’t actually have permission to dance — due to ongoing COVID-19 protocol, cheering, yelling, and dancing were prohibited as a measure for curbing the possibility of transmitting the airborne virus.

While the seven members (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) made mention of the circumstances multiple times, it was clear that their return to that very stage at Jamsil Olympic Stadium was still well worth the wait.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
