BTS Jin's Amsterdam concert heads to cinemas; ARMY go wild with LIVE viewing option- Details Inside
A
Korean cinema chain
has just made every K-Pop fan's dream come true with something absolutely incredible. They're bringing
BTS
Jin's solo concert '#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in AMSTERDAM' straight to movie theatres across South Korea through live viewing.
The concert, happening on August 9th (local time) in Amsterdam, Netherlands, marks the finale of Jin's first-ever solo fan concert tour. What makes this even more special is that the concert will feature not just Jin's solo tracks but also BTS group song medleys, which is like getting a bonus track on your favourite album.
Cinema Experience That Beats Your Living Room Setup
Now here's where it gets really exciting - this isn't just your regular movie screening. The theatres are pulling out all the stops with massive screens and booming sound systems that'll make you feel like you're actually in Amsterdam. Some locations are even using their premium theatres like 'SuperPlex' and 'Gwangeum Cinema' for an immersive experience that's probably better than most concert venues.
The 'Gwangeum Cinema' features ultra-low frequency woofer sounds that create this incredible 3D audio experience - imagine feeling every beat drop and crowd cheer as if you're standing right there in the audience. It's like having the best seat in the house without the crazy ticket prices or the long queues for overpriced snacks.
Fan Culture Meets Cinema Culture
Here's what makes this absolutely brilliant - you can bring your '
ARMY Bomb
' (the official light stick) and cheer as loud as you want during the screening. This is so different from our usual cinema experience where we're shushed for even whispering! It's more like watching a cricket match at the stadium where everyone's cheering together.
The live viewing is scheduled for August 10th (Sunday) at 3 PM across 20 locations nationwide, including major spots like Lotte Cinema World Tower and Konkuk University entrance. They're even giving out photo cards and postcards to visitors - it's like getting those special collectables that come with limited edition albums.
When Global Meets Local
What's fascinating is how this bridges the gap between global entertainment and local accessibility. While concert tickets for international artists can cost lakhs of rupees (especially when you factor in travel and accommodation), this cinema experience offers the same emotional connection at a fraction of the cost.
Kim Se-hwan from the entertainment company mentioned that they prepared special theatre screenings to deliver the concert's excitement and energy more vividly, emphasising the unique joy that can only be experienced in theatres. This reminds us of how cinema halls have always been our go-to place for shared experiences - whether it's cheering for the hero in a masala film or collectively gasping at plot twists.
