In March, the <b>HYYH On Stage Japan Edition<\/b> shows in Kobe (rescheduled from December 2015). In May, the <b>HYYH On Stage: Epilogue<\/b> tour began in Seoul, going through New Taipei, Macau, Nanjing, Beijing, Pasay (Manila) and Bangkok, with a Japanese edition in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo, until August. The group also performed at KCON Abu Dhabi, Paris, New York and Los Angeles and at A-Nation in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With fans, there was the <b>2nd Muster (Zip Code 22920)<\/b> in January, the 3rd anniversary <b>BTS FESTA<\/b> in June, the <b>3rd Muster (ARMY.ZIP+)<\/b> at Gocheok Sky Dome in November, with ARMY&#8217;s purple ocean, and the <b>Japan Official Fanmeeting Vol.3<\/b>, from November to December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performances, shows and behind the scenes of 2016<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2016 was packed with content: Bon Voyage, the year-end specials, ISAC, V&#8217;s and Jung Kook&#8217;s Celebrity Bromance, Flower Crew, SOPE&#8217;s \u201cHwagae Market\u201d, \u201cHope on the Street\u201d, \u201cEat Jin\u201d, the WINGS short films and dozens of BANGTAN BOMBs and lives. It&#8217;s content to binge for days, and much of it is on the official BANGTANTV channel and on Weverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping up BTS in 2016<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If 2015 was the year everything changed, 2016 was the year BTS showed they were here to stay. From the \u201cFIRE\u201d that set stages ablaze to the new aesthetic of \u201cBlood Sweat &amp; Tears\u201d, through the laughs of Bon Voyage and the emotion of the 3rd Muster, it was a year of growth for the seven and for ARMY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the best part: the two daesangs at the end of the year were only the beginning. 2017 brought \u201cSpring Day\u201d, \u201cDNA\u201d and their first performance on American TV, at the American Music Awards.
