Background
In January 2020, BTS had announced their 4-leg, 39 show Map of the Soul Tour, but by August announced through their company that the tour would cancelled due to the uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. They later organized Map of the Soul ON:E that would include a pay-per-view streaming and offline fan presence, but the in-person tickets would be cancelled ahead of the October 2020 performance. s the top-grossing touring group of 2019, the group expressed frustration and tears about their inability to hold live concerts with fan present. By 2021, the COVID-19 severity and restrictions varied greatly from country to country, city to city, which would push the act and their company to look into hybridizing their performances that would allow them to dynamically engage fans in person and online.
