K-pop fans supported the celebrities through the only way we could.
"Cheering loudly, shouting and standing up for long periods of time is strictly forbidden under government instructions," said the group that manages BTS before the show.

The homecoming show - their first for South Korea's capital, Seoul, in more than two years - had just 15,000 fans down from the 70,000 initially projected allowed at Seoul's Olympic Stadium.
Lucky fans who had the opportunity to see the stars of "Boy with Luv" were given to applaud some gloves with light.

The on-screen graphics instructed attendees when to turn on the gloves. Hearts appeared in the lyrics as an indication of when applause was needed.
Instead of upsetting the fans because they were not allowed to shout, they seemed to like this new hilarious BTS tradition. Some even proposed that they be used in other K-pop shows.
