Though the concert indeed brought positive vibes to fans, V-biased ARMYs were worried about the member as he remained seated in all their songs due to his injury.
Before launching the Permission To Dance On Stage, the group had a rehearsal where V sustained his injury. According to Big Hit Music, he experienced pain in his calf muscles during the rehearsals on October 23. The company assured that he got the medical attention he needed by confirming that the BTS member had already visited a hospital for further examination and treatment.
"It was the opinion of the medical personnel that while there was no issue affecting the bones in his legs, he should refrain from vigorous movement such as choreography or stage performance for the time being," the statement went on.
