[INTERVIEW] Behind-the-scenes stories: How BTS concerts come to life

Two enormous inflatable leopards, standing against a backdrop of Greek-style pillars, roared and “welcomed” the audience during the 2019 stadium concerts of K-pop juggernaut BTS. The majestic cats literally stole the scene for the intro into “Dionysus” - the band's first song on the set list - until the seven members popped up on stage and opened the show. The leopard idea was the brainchild of concert director Kim Sang-wook and his team. Knowing that BTS's party anthem, “Dionysus,” came from the Greek god of wine who is frequently shown riding leopards, they brought life to these animals and realized the “return of the god” on stage.
