As fans know, j-hope has completed his first performance, opening the world tour "Hope on the Stage". The cheers and vibrant sounds under the dome of the stadium made ARMYs' hearts beat strongly again.
Besides the topics related to j-hope's performance today, another topic that has emerged has also attracted a lot of attention. That is the debate surrounding the appearance of BTS members at the event. Many videos, images have been spread and some members' names have been mentioned, but in the end, what is the truth?
Here is the information we have verified and the reactions of fans:
A few minutes ago, j-hope started his first performance of his "Hope On The Stag" concert. He will have 3 consecutive concerts from today until March 2 to kick off his world tour at KSPO DOME.
Before the concert officially began, j-hope emphasized that his focus was on his unique performances. He said, “Every performance will be precious to me, and I will show my sincerity to my fans around the world.”
And j-hope truly kept his promise when he made the entire dome stadium shake with his pαѕѕionate performances. His powerful rap, graceful dance moves, and captivating visual line made fans unable to stop cheering and getting excited. ARMYs have been waiting for 2 years to be immersed in this atmosphere since the members enlisted.
Not only that, since j-hope's concert has not started yet, fans have been hoping to see BTS members who are currently serving in the military. A few hours before the concert started, fans saw V in military uniform, appearing at the concert venue. This news further raised fans' hopes that other members would also be present at the event.
That is also the reason why a video shared on X went viral at a dizzying speed while the truth has not been verified. Specifically, when the performance began, a video recorded a group of idols, with staff following them to guide them to their row on the floor. Because all the idols were covered, it was almost impossible to identify who they were.
However, the crowd kept cheering and spreading the word that they were BTS members. The viral video also stated that they were Jungkook, SUGA and V even though they did not directly see them at close range. A few photos of these idols that went viral were also quickly concluded to be BTS members, making online fans believe.
But upon closer inspection of these photos and videos, fans realized that they did not appear to be Jungkook, SUGA, and V. Looking at their body shapes and hairstyles, longtime ARMYs confirmed that they were not BTS members. Others pointed out that they could be members of ENHYPEN or Pledis Entertainment's rookie group TWS.
Fans left many comments clarifying that the idol group was not BTS members:
- Please don't spread false rumor. This is not Suga, Jungkook
- That's not Jungkook he don't have long hairs now
- I want to see them but I don't think they're our boys
- They are not Jungkook or Suga or Tae. They looks like members of TWS
- Stop clout chasing when you know its not them. They seems like TXT or ENHYPEN
- I don't believe it till hobi post by own
- STOP THEY HAVE LONG HAIR....HOW ON THE EARTH ITS POSSIBLE!????
- probably some younger hybe grp, none of them look like bts
- K army said they are TXT members not V or Suga.
It is clear that the news that BTS members appeared at today's concert was false. Fans believe that the group members may have attended J-Hope's concert this weekend because it coincided with the members' day off during their military service.
On the other hand, 'Hope on the Stage' also attracted more attention for the release of j-hope's new song 'Sweet Dreams', which is scheduled to be released on the 7th of next month. After the performance in Seoul, j-hope will continue to perform 31 more times in 15 cities around the world, including Brooklyn and Chicago in the United States, мєχι¢σ City in мєχι¢σ, Manila in the Philippines, and Saitama and Osaka in נαραи.
