BTS takes control of a police van in new photos released ahead of the Permission to Dance on Stage Live album drop. It is known that the group’s first-ever live album will be released on July 18 at 1 pm KST (9:30 am IST). The pre-orders for the album have already begun, with online stores selling out their stock within minutes of going on sale. Many displayed ‘out of stock’ messages on their websites almost immediately after going live, proving the septet’s global popularity and unrelenting demand once again.

BTS takes over the police van in new Permission to Dance on Stage Live Album pictures

The photos, which seem to have been taken before the group’s military break, which lasted 3 years, are a callback to their stand-alone single, which was released on July 9, 2021. Their outfits, reminiscent of their looks during the Map of the Soul: 7 album release in 2020, are stark white, a contrast to their colorful background. With Jin at the helm, the members appear relaxed in the pink police van.


Individual photos from the same shoot show the singers at a photobooth with the same white fits and chunky boots taking over the frame. Fans celebrated these never-before-seen appearances of RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.

The PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LIVE album will comprise 22 tracks that were a part of the group’s tour with the same name, which began online and then moved to 12 offline concerts.
