The energy in the theatre mirrors what you would feel at a live concert, with the audience singing along and cheering. The setlist is a fantastic mix of his greatest hits, and seeing BTS perform as special guests is a real treat. However, I felt that the film could have explored more behind-the-scenes moments or personal anecdotes from Seo Taiji himself, which would have added depth to the experience. Instead, it focuses heavily on the performances, which, while impressive, left me wanting a bit more context about the man behind the music. Still, it's a celebration worth attending, especially for those who grew up with his songs. Show less
