They began their ACT: PROMISE world tour on May 3rd at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. Fans who attended the opening concert were left amazed, not only because of their talent and visuals, but because of the entire stage as well.

At one point, they even had darts drop down from the ceiling and onto the stage. They were strategically placed to avoid hitting the members, and yet viewers still couldn’t help but worry.

At the same time, they also marveled at the huge budget that went into making this concert a reality.

Though the darts received several positive responses from fans, another recent release from TXT is not. It showed a member enacting being shot, with a burst of fire exploding near his body.

Fans immediately took to social media to proclaim how dangerous this stunt was.

They were shocked that the company chose to use practical effects and not CGI for this scene.

They continuously called for HYBE to “treat TXT better.”

At the same time, some shared their experience with this kind of special effects, promising that they “barely produce any heat” and are “very safe” contrary to what viewers may expect.
Don’t worry, the things they used are very small and barely produce any heat/force all the energy just goes into light. I ve used them before and they’re very safe!
