BTS fans on social media are understandably furious after videos of BTS members were seen trying to dodge things that were being thrown at them during the Permission To Dance On Stage in Las Vegas surfaced online. On Saturday night, BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook brought the house down with their insane performances. As part of their PTD concerts, the members hop on a movable cart and travel around the concert venue before making their way back to the stage.
While this gives fans an opportunity to see their favourite K-pop stars up close, things got out of hand on Saturday night when fans began throwing flowers and toys at the members and a couple of things almost hit the members. In a video that has now caught many ARMYs’ attention online, Jin was seen almost getting hit in the face by what appeared to be a headband. The singer, who is still recovering from his hand surgery, managed to duck in time to avoid the hit.
In another video, a flower was seen hitting Suga’s back while he was performing. A video also shows Jimin being hit by a bouquet. The floor of the carts was filled with bouquets and toys thrown by concert-goers, which was dangerous for the members as they were concentrating on their performances instead of the things laying on the floor.
The sight left many fans angry. They took to Twitter and objected to the behaviour, urging them to stop throwing things at the members.

Jin had to undergo emergency hand surgery last month. Following the surgery, his hand has been in a cast and has been limiting his movement during performances. The singer, though participated during the Grammys performance of Butter, was not part of the choreography. Ahead of the PTD concert, BigHit Music had issued a statement revealing that Jin has been asked to refrain from moving his hand too much. While he has not been performing the choreography during the PTD concerts, he has been singing on stage with the group, ensuring the safety of his hand.
Here’s hoping that this doesn’t repeat next weekend. BTS will return for two more PTD concerts — on April 16 and 17 — in Las Vegas.
