Celebrating BTS: Inside the BVERSE Exhibition in Manila until September 1, 2024

Seeing all seven members of BTS—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—perform live on the Manila concert stage again is every Filipino ARMY’s dream.

The group hasn’t visited the country in seven years, which only adds to the excitement among fans.

BTS previously held three tours in the Philippines: BTS Live Trilogy The Red Bullet in Manila (2014), BTS Live On Stage Epilogue in Manila (2016), and BTS Live Trilogy Episode III: The Wings Tour in Manila (2017).

Araneta City, in partnership with The Fact Music Awards (TMA) and YiZ Entertainment, is extending until September 1, 2024 the run of BVERSE: BTS, Singing the Stars Exhibition at Level 4, Gateway Mall 2 in Cubao, Quezon City, which started last May 17, 2024.

First seen in countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan, this immersive exhibition now offers Filipino ARMYs a unique way to celebrate their love for BTS.

Here are the must-see highlights of this exciting exhibition.

What Awaits You at BVERSE Manila?

While waiting for the military discharge of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook (and hopefully their next concert in the Philippines), now is the perfect time to explore the exhibition.

The exhibition takes fans on a journey through the BTS universe with themed rooms, providing a memorable experience while anticipating the members' return.

The first stop is the VR Room, where fans can use VR glasses to enjoy an SVIP seat experience for TMA performances of the popular South Korean boy group.

This includes performances from 2021 to 2022, featuring hits like "Permission to Dance," "Yet To Come," and "For You."

This is one of the highlights of the exhibit.

BTS Planets

After the thrilling VR experience, visitors proceed to the Orbital Tunnel and the BTS Universe, where they can strike their signature poses for photos.

The BTS Universe features a tree in the center with select gift boxes containing heartwarming videos of the members.

Another exciting feature of the exhibition is the "Galaxy Aisle" or "Milky Way," leading to each member’s planet.

Fans can only take photos in designated areas, as photography and filming are prohibited in the themed rooms dedicated to each member.

Here are the themed spaces for each member:

• RM’s Nature Planet: An indoor garden concept showcasing his love for nature and art.
• Jin’s Satellite: A dreamy space inspired by his words, “ARMY and we are looking at each other, and ARMY is everything to me.”
• Suga’s Art Planet: A colorful CMYK neon-toned space reflecting Suga’s creative and versatile personality.
• J-Hope’s Hope Planet: An industrial-themed space embodying his carefree spirit.
• Jimin’s Aqua Planet: Another dreamy space representing his pure and clear image, like water.
• V’s Film Planet: An analog-inspired space filled with his favorite film photos and sensibilities.
• Jungkook’s Prism Planet: A multicolored space representing his diverse musical talents, like a rainbow prism.

At the end of the Galaxy Aisle, visitors will find the "ARMY Way," an area displaying BTS lyrics and group photos.

Next, the "TMA History" section highlights the winners of The Fact Music Awards from 2020 to 2022.

The immersive "Meteor Shower" room offers a 360-degree view of stage footage, showcasing more BTS performances, including the massively streamed “Dynamite.”

During the media preview, BTS performances of "Permission to Dance," "Yet To Come," and "For You" were also featured in this area.

Photography and filming are not allowed in these sections.

The final stops in the exhibition are the Gift Shop and Photo Zone, where visitors can purchase their favorite BVERSE merchandise.

Here, fans can also take photos and videos with standees of their favorite BTS members.
