It takes a village to put together a show, especially when you have one as grand as BTS' Yet To Come in Busan concert.
Across two hours, the globally renowned pop group put on a memorable spectacle of fiery performances, sparkly outfits, and tear-jerking numbers that still have us in a trance. But while BTS were front and centre, there's an entire team behind them that worked just as hard to put on a show worth remembering.

From the impressive live band that amplified the members' vocal prowess to the choreographers that gifted us with that jaw-dropping performance of 'Run BTS', here are some of the creatives that worked behind the scenes of BTS' Yet To Come in Busan concert.
DANCE & CHOREOGRAPHY
BTS are known to set the stage on fire with their powerful movements and incredible synchronisation, but fueling those flames is an entire team of incredibly talented dancers and choreographers. Helmed by BIGHIT MUSIC's resident performance directors Yoon Seongeun, Lee ByungEun, and Kim Minsung, Yet To Come in Busan was a mesmerising show that had you in awe the whole way through.

And yes, these were also the same people, with the additional talents of choreographers Riehata and Sienna Lalau, behind that unforgettable live performance of 'Run BTS'. You might also recognize Sienna and her work on BTS' Permission To Dance in Las Vegas concerts, where she was joined by her dance crew The Lab, as well as her iconic choreography for 'ON'.
Backing BTS the whole night as they took over the stage was none other than Ten Agency, who were also the group's backup dancers in the music video and several performances for 'Permission To Dance' and Permission To Dance in Seoul concert.

LIVE BAND
A live band adds so much to a concert, it breathes new life into performances we've seen time and time again and in the case of Yet To Come in Busan, it brought out whole new energy to songs we so dearly love. BTS has a knack for putting together a stunning lineup for their backing band (just check out Ghost from their Tiny Desk performance) and it's no different time around.

Led by music directors Asaf Rodeh and Jonathan Linav and held together by sound engineer Jung Wooyeong (all of whom also worked on j-hope's historic HOBIPALOOZA set), BTS' Yet To Come in Busan live band comprised Kenji Chan on guitar, Matt Hines on bass, Pierre Jamerson on keys, and Al Cleveland III on drums. These are also the guys you see laughing behind BTS when they're running and teasing each other on stage.
STYLING
A BTS show is like a puzzle piece, with every part coming together so perfectly. So, it's no question that the 'Butter' act also has a styling team that brilliantly completes the entire production.
For Yet To Come in Busan, BTS were covered in jewellery by Connie Woo's ₩OOING. The members' hairstyles were created by HANSOM and her team (who regularly works with the members, from their visit to the US Presidential Whitehouse to their Proof live showcase).
