BTS Map of the Soul ON:E was a two-day pay-per-view online concert headlined by BTS to promote their Map of the Soul album series, including their EP and studio album, in place of the postponed Map of the Soul World Tour. The concert was broadcast live from the KSPO Dome in Seoul on October 10–11, 2020. Initially intended to have both a limited number of in-person tickets with a simultaneous online livestream, Big Hit Entertainment later cancelled the offline portion of the concert due to tightened COVID-19 pandemic government restrictions.[7] [8] The concert featured slightly different set lists each day, and production costs were an estimated eight times higher than those of their previous online show, BangBangCon: The Live. In total, the concert garnered 993,000 viewers from 191 countries and territories.[9]
The 150-minute show began with "On" and focused on songs from BTS' most recent studio album, Map of the Soul: 7, with its production heavily utilizing elements of augmented and extended reality. Rappers Suga, RM, and J-Hope performed the hip-hop track "Ugh!" together; Jin, Jungkook, V, and Jimin performed the soft-pop ballad "00:00" as a quartet. RM, Suga, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin, V, and J-Hope performed the solo tracks "Persona", "Shadow", "Filter", "My Time", "Inner Child", "Moon", and "Ego", respectively. Dark screens featured visuals resembling underwater scenery at the sides of the stage as the group performed "Black Swan", while with "Dope," the screen behind the stage created the illusion that the members were dancing on an elevator as it shot upward. The band also performed "Dionysus" and their singles "DNA", "Boy With Luv", and "No More Dream" as part of the 23-song set list. The encore began with two songs that were different for each show—"Butterfly" and "Run" for the first show and "Spring Day" and "Idol" for the second—and ended with "Dynamite" and "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal".[10]
