For “Telepathy,” they seemed to be in a downtown city-style loft with a big Friends-like couch, arcade games, and costumes.
“Fix You” was a simple concept: the Bangtan Boys were seated on stools, dressed in ties and suits, and singing under powerful spotlights. Unlike previous MTV Unplugged performances where the band plays stripped-down versions of their songs for an intimate audience, the pandemic forced BTS to get creative, so each song was filmed with a different theme, on a different set. Their five-set sesh also included “Life Goes On,” “Blue & Grey,” and of course their chart-smashing hit “Dynamite” which had the biggest global song debut in 2020 and was dubbed by many outlets as one of the best songs of 2020. “Suga is back, healthy and recovered!" Jimin exclaimed. Suga also launched the Unplugged sesh by expressing how happy he is to be back with the septuplet after retreating for shoulder surgery.
“So the song's lyrics describe our current situation of temporarily being apart from each other." He also noted that the BTS ARMYs served as a major inspiration for the song. "We're in a situation where we can't meet our fans around the world in person due to COVID-19,” he said.

Yet somehow, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook not only did it, but their harmonies were incredibly moving.

Toward the end of their set, members of the band shared their own goodbye message with fans. From the indoor flower field to the vibrant arcade room, the South Korean boy band was able to translate the colorful world of K-pop into the MTV format.
