BTS member V to not participate in online concert choreography 

“V experienced pain in his calf muscles during rehearsal on the evening of October 23 and visited a nearby hospital for 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,” read the Weverse post.

Despite not being able to dance during the concert, he will perform during the concert. In the Weverse post, Big Hit Music shared that V will stay “seated” while he is on stage. “While the artist himself strongly wished to participate in the performance in full, our company has decided to follow physician advice and minimize V’s movements during today’s ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE,'” Big Hit Music wrote. “As a result, V will take part in the performance while seated and without choreography. We ask for your understanding,” the statement added.
