BTS returned to MetLife Stadium two weeks after performing during the halftime show of the FIFA World Cup Final. The venue also holds special significance as it was where the group last held a world tour concert approximately seven years ago. Beginning in Tampa, the United States, in April, BTS completed the North αмєяι¢αn leg of their tour across five cities, performing for a total of 840,000 fans. They then attracted another 720,000 attendees across five European cities before returning to New Jersey this August.
ARMYs from all over the world flocked to the stadium, continuing the excitement from the New York events. In front of approximately 80,000 spectators, BTS delivered spectacular performances featuring new songs from their ARIRANG album alongside the group's signature нιт tracks. Meanwhile, fans filled the venue with earth-shaking cheers and joined together in singing кσяєα's traditional folk song Arirang.
Alongside the explosive performances, the members' natural interactions became another highlight that delighted fans after years of waiting for the group's reunion. In particular, one moment involving Jin has gone viral across social media following the first night at MetLife Stadium, as he υиєχρє¢тє∂ly showed off his impressive alcohol tolerance on stage—leaving even Jungkook visibly surprised!
Specifically, a viral video captured Jin receiving a cup of beer from a staff member on stage after finishing a performance. He then chugged the entire cup in one go before letting out a loud, refreshing exclamation of satisfaction. What drew even more attention, however, was Jungkook's reaction. Sitting beside Jin, he was calmly sipping a cold drink through a straw while watching his older bandmate with obvious curiosity.
After finishing the beer, Jin jokingly gestured to ask whether Jungkook wanted to try some before handing the cup to the group's youngest member. As soon as Jungkook took the cup, his first instinct was to smell it. The moment he realized it was beer, his eyes widened dramatically and he looked genuinely ѕнσ¢кed. After freezing for a few seconds, his expression quickly turned into an amused smile, accompanied by an impressed "Whoa," as if he had just discovered soмєтнing υиєχρє¢тє∂ly interesting.
Jungkook was not the only member intrigued by the beer that Jin had effortlessly finished on stage. During the Body to Body x Idol performance, when BTS walked around the pitch to interact with fans, the members stopped by a Michelob Ultra Beer concession stand and accepted cups of beer after being offered drinks by the staff.
Jungkook was seen holding a cup of beer, taking a few sips before offering it to V. However, V pαѕѕed the cup along to Jimin instead. RM, meanwhile, enthusiastically accepted his own cup and happily enjoyed it on the spot. The members' relaxed and playful interactions delighted fans, helping BTS's "drinking beer on stage" moment become one of the most talked-about topics following the first night at MetLife Stadium.
Interestingly, the viral moment came shortly after Jin was voted the celebrity who best suits a refreshing beer commercial. In an Idol Chart poll titled "Which star is the best fit for a refreshing beer commercial that helps beat the discomfort index?", held from July 20 to July 26, Jin ranked No. 1 with 8,130 votes, accounting for an overwhelming 60% of the total. This was not the first time he had earned the title either. Last June, Jin also topped Idol Chart's "Star Best Suited for a Refreshing Beer Commercial" poll.
As a result, discussions surrounding Jin's alcohol tolerance and the BTS members' reactions to drinking beer on stage have become even more lively online:
