9 years ago today, BTS announced their first showcase stage in the US, the “Show & Prove” concert at Troubadour, West Hollywood, to be held on Mon 14 Jul 2014

Reminder that while they did famously pass out flyers for the concert on the street as a part of American Hustle Life’s filming, so many ARMYs showed up that about half had to be turned away. [Here’s a review of the showcase](https://kultscene.com/review-bts-show-prove-in-los-angeles/).

I could’ve gone 😭 ah it was my fault for being 11 years old and phoneless 🤧

Doesn anyone have a video link?

I like the ” ‘free’ entrance” part. Sounds a bit ominous. O.o
