Since BTS returned from their three-year military service hiatus, the members have jumped straight into their schedules to reconnect with fans and prepare for upcoming group projects. For ARMYs, this means that there hasn’t been a single “quiet” day since mid-June.
While some BTS members have already traveled to the group's music camp in the U.S., j-hope is currently gearing up for Lollapalooza Berlin 2025, and the eldest member, Jin, is fully immersed in his pre-scheduled #RunSeokjin_EpTour, with his current stop in נαραи.
On July 12, Jin kicked off his first concert at Kyocera Dome in Osaka, as part of a two-night event at the venue. This also marked his third concert in נαραи since the beginning of the month.
Following the performance, which attracted an au∂ιєnce of 55,000 fans, Jin greeted ARMYs through Weverse Live. Still wearing stage makeup and visibly exhausted from the pαѕѕionate performance, he nevertheless radiated the same warmth and bright energy that fans love him for. He used his rare break to have dinner and spend time chatting with fans about his recent concert experiences.
In one particularly candid moment, Jin mentioned that he had started to feel physical signs of declining health. “I didn't used to be like this long ago, but my knees hurt. Maybe it'll rain tomorrow. My knees hurt but I had a great time.” he confessed.
Despite this, he didn’t complain. In fact, he even offered humorous yet helpful advice to fellow idols who might one day face such an intense performance schedule. Jin said: “A tip for everyone who's going to debut: after a concert, you have to wash up right away. When you get home and you still have a tiny bit of energy to walk, wash up right away. If you don't, you won't be able to get up again.”
He further added: “I used to not understand people who lie down on the floor. But after a concert, I'm sure I have enough energy to walk around, but then I sit down on a couch and think it'll just be a few mins, but then I get sleepy and I think I'll just snooze for 10min but it's been 10hrs,” indicating that he’s been reaching his physical limits after solo concerts.
While Jin’s love for fans and his powerful stage energy remain unmatched, it’s undeniable that singing for hours on end—combined with choreography and constant interaction—has taken a toll on his body. Especially considering he’s been non-stop active since his discharge, and from late June to now, he has already completed five live concerts in South кσяєα and נαραи.
And with many more performances scheduled until mid-August, including international travel, limited rest time, and preparations for group projects, fans are growing increasingly worried about the potential strain on his health.
Many ARMYs have sent heartfelt messages to Jin, expressing their gratitude for the pαѕѕion he brings to every performance and wishing him time to rest and recover before нιтting the stage again:
- The testimonial of your hardwork throughout your life, Seokjin, I pray you ease and strength for everything you do :(
- you work so hard seokjin :( i hope you don't overwork yourself and that you finish the tour safely
- Man no one is working hard like you so there's no need for your advice. I hope you get all the time to rest. Proud of you Jin
- It's good to live down on the floor whenever we feel tired or restless, it helps to feel grounded, makes us feel more stable into our body and calms down the stress level. So just relax yourself by lying down, close your eyes and feel at ease to regulate your energy SeokJinnie.
- Oh Jin you really working so hard for us and thanks for this
