On the 28th (local time), BTS completed the final show of their four sold-out nights at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with a total attendance of more than 240,000 people. Las Vegas was also the city where BTS previously held their “Permission To Dance On Stage” concerts in 2022 during the pandemic, and it marked the group’s final stage in the United States before they paused activities for three years to fulfill their mandatory military service. Because of that, the pαѕѕionate welcome and unwavering support from local fans even after four years made the event even more meaningful.
At the end of the concert, RM expressed his gratitude on behalf of the members in response to the au∂ιєnce’s support: “Thanks to all of you. You guys made me sentimental, that's why I turned the live on last night and I can't express my gratitude, you know, you guys showed us so much love, some real love. We got an award in 5 years again. First long αмєяι¢αn tour, the final was better than perfect thank you so much. I just hope you guys can feel our love too. Let's see each other again someday, okay?”
According to schedule, BTS will continue performing at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12 and 13. Fans initially thought the group would finally have around two full weeks of rest after finishing their long North αмєяι¢αn tour, but j-hope’s recent comments left many fans worried and heartbroken instead.
Specifically, during the livestream after the fourth concert night in Las Vegas, j-hope revealed: “Tomorrow we’ll go back to кσяєα. And in кσяєα we’ll do our individual schedules and then do the Busan concert. It’s already June 13th soon.” The idol also explained why he still wanted to go live despite being extremely tired after the concert: “Another reason I wanted to come on live is that I don’t think we’ve been able to do a lot of lives.”
Previously, RM also said soмєтнing similar during his livestream the day before: “The reason for coming live today is coz I think I won't be able to come live for quite a bit so I decided to turn it on today.” Fans quickly realized that j-hope, RM, and likely all the BTS members currently have packed schedules ahead involving both group activities and individual work, even when they are not performing concerts.
Since returning in March this year, BTS has been operating at an almost nonstop pace without any truly long, complete breaks. After releasing their album at the end of March, the group simultaneously promoted in кσяєα and the United States while attending numerous events and interviews. By early April, they returned to кσяєα to begin their world tour before continuously traveling back and forth between кσяєα, נαραи, and North αмєяι¢α for award shows, major events, and countless group and individual schedules.
What stands out is that many stops on the world tour involved concerts held on two consecutive days, while some locations even had BTS performing for three to four nights straight, most notably in мєχι¢σ and Las Vegas.
This demanding schedule has also begun visibly affecting several members’ health. During the final concert in Las Vegas, Jimin was seen constantly sniffling during soundcheck, while RM confirmed that he had caught a cold. The previous day, SUGA also revealed that he had developed a stye and was not in his best condition while performing. A few days earlier, RM shared that his throat had already become hoarse after several consecutive concert nights, while j-hope admitted that he felt “a little bit exhausted” after the long string of performances.
Because of this, many ARMYs could not help but feel worried and heartbroken after hearing j-hope explain that BTS would immediately return to кσяєα the next day and continue with many schedules there instead of fully resting!
However, the rapper quickly reαѕѕured fans that the situation is still much better than it was in previous years. He explained: “A long time ago, we couldn’t imagine soмєтнing like this. To go and play pickleball in the middle of the tour. Because on the days we could rest, we were busy resting.”
j-hope shared that BTS now has much more free time within their schedules and that he believes this is the right way to work: “If we can enjoy our time doing the concerts, that’ll become more enjoyable for you too. And if it’s enjoyable for you, then it’s more enjoyable for us too. It’s connected like that.”
Finally, the rapper deeply moved fans when he sincerely expressed his love for the stage: “I’ll work hard. As long as I can move, I will really do my best at the concerts no matter what. Not to say that I’m representing the 7 members, that’s too grand, but we are all the same. We all really care about and love the stage. Thank you so much.”
Following j-hope’s comments, fans flooded social media with messages wishing the members good health and hoping they would be able to get at least some proper rest: "Individual schedules is probably their brand work, please take care tannies", "My loves. I hope they get all the rest they need", "Hope those schedules dont take long and they get enough rest and sleep", "Time really flies. Safe travels back to кσяєα! Wishing you all good health for the individual schedules and lots of energy for the Busan concert", "Hardest workers I swear. Take care of your health tannies",...
