BTS has come a long way since its debut, recently performing at one of the largest concert halls in Korea, the Olympic Gymnastic Stadium, from May 7 to 8.

“2016 BTS Live The Most Beautiful Moment in Life on stage: epilogue” kicked off with “Boy in Luv,” the song that had transformed BTS into a rising star.

The 150-minute concert featured 26 songs from “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life” series, including “Run,” “Butterfly,” “I Need You” and “Save Me.”

“Fire,” the title track of the group’s latest album, was the climax of the show, with the band’s seven members hitting the stage with a powerful, dramatic performance.

“We had two goals. (The) first was to win a first-place trophy on a music show and the other was to hold a concert at the Gymnastic stadium. Now we have succeeded in both,” said BTS.

Since its debut in 2013 with “2 COOL 4 SKOOL,” the K-pop group has slowly worked its way up to become one of the biggest hallyu stars in Korea. BTS started off with its first concert at AX Korea -- a 1,000-seat concert hall in Seoul -- and has finally performed in the Olympic Gymnastic stadium, with all 14,730 seats sold out as soon as the tickets were released.

BTS will soon embark on its two-month long Asia tour, visiting ten different cities in Taiwan, China, Thailand, Japan, and others, from June to August.
