BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE IN LOS ANGELES

There are so many other precious moments that I could write about. The birth of my son. The day of my divorce. The day I remarried. However, I think that those are given for most people. I didn’t want to write about those moments because it seemed too generic. So, I picked my most precious memory that doesn’t have to do with family.

I remember getting the e-mail. BTS is going to be in Los Angeles. If you join their fan club, you get to get in on the pre-sale. I immediately went to Weverse and signed up. The day came. I sat at my computer at the ready. The sale went live. I WAS IN THE WRONG QUEUE! I had to quickly exit and find the right concert time. I was on the verge of tears. I kept telling my husband, “I’m not going to get tickets!! I messed up!!”

Then, my number came up. There were very little tickets left. Time after time, I would select tickets and it would tell me that they’re gone. But, with tenacity, I hung in there and was rewarded. I got two tickets to Permission to Dance! I couldn’t believe my eyes. My heart was racing the entire time. Then, I immediately looked for plane tickets and a hotel and booked it.

The concert was amazing. They’re so good live. Sure, I was a mile away from them, but it didn’t change the fact that I WAS THERE. Their last tour before military service.

Looking back, I wish I took more/better pictures and more video, but I was living in the moment. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from what was happening right in front of me. God bless my husband for taking one for the team and going with me. When they tour in 2025/2026, you can guarantee that I’ll be going again.
