Watched online, very blurry.
9 songs in the Soundtracks. No way they were all performed completely, unless some were just instrumental.
Came very close to really annoying me.
I was hoping for something frivolous, like their TV series, but this had a lot of war footage/images (and a skit or two with the boys pretending to be in battle), and multiple references to suicide, mostly that turned out to be hoaxed.
They did spend a little bit of time standing up and performing a song, but even then it appeared to be "serious" and "relevant".
I didn't get anything from it, and didn't enjoy any part of it.
