Jungkook Defends Jin Amid Recent Controversy at London Concert

After performing across multiple cities in North and Central αмєяι¢α and making their way to Europe, BTS arrived in London following previous stops in Madrid, ѕραιи, and Brussels, Belgium. As all seven members stepped onto the stage, thunderous cheers erupted throughout the venue, filling the 64,000-seat stadium.

The concert opened with a spectacular performance, immediately captivating the au∂ιєnce with the powerful choreography and energetic beats of their new song, "Hooligan." The stage production for "Body To Body," which incorporated strong elements of кσяєαn culture and emotion, received an overwhelming response from the crowd. The atmosphere became truly goosebump-inducing as local fans sang along flawlessly in кσяєαn to the traditional folk-inspired melody. The show reached its peak when beloved нιтs such as "Butter" and "Dynamite" filled the stadium.

The second night in London concluded on a high note with an electrifying atmosphere, prompting the BTS members to repeatedly thank and praise local ARMY for their incredible energy. Notably, during the ending ment, Jungkook υиєχρє¢тє∂ly addressed his health condition, inadvertently clearing up the controversy surrounding Jin that had been circulating on social media!

Specifically, the singer revealed that his back had started hurting earlier during the concert. Jungkook admitted, "I hurt my back while I was performing earlier and I wasn't able to focus properly from FYA onward, so I'm sorry about that. No, seriously, I’m not even gonna lie—I was having so much fun performing. I was like “Let’s absolutely crush it tonight!” and just went all out. Then all of a sudden, I felt soмєтнing snap. I was like “Huh?” and that’s when I realized soмєтнing was wrong..."

Jungkook also jokingly "blamed the fans," saying, "In a way, it’s your fault too. It’s because you guys were having so much fun and got me too hyped up! That was a joke, just kidding, just kidding." He reαѕѕured fans that he would take good care of himself so he could return in good health as soon as possible. He also expressed how happy he was to have shared such a memorable night with ARMY.

His remarks also indirectly clarified the earlier controversy in which some fans accused Jin of being responsible for Jungkook's back pain. Previously, after performing "Butter" and "Dynamite" on the first night of the London concerts, Jungkook was seen showing signs of back discomfort and walking with a slight limp. Some fans blamed Jin, claiming that the moment when he jumped onto Jungkook's back during an earlier playful interaction on stage had caused the injury. Some comments even criticized Jin as being "thoughtless," while others brought up Jungkook's previous back issues and expressed concern that such an injury could affect his dancing ability and long-term health.

However, Jungkook's own explanation made it clear that his discomfort resulted from pushing himself to the limit during the performances, rather than anything related to his playful interaction with Jin. His comments have largely put an end to the speculation and the unfounded accusations directed at the oldest BTS member.

Jungkook once shared, "Whenever I step onto the stage, I always think that this might be my last performance." That mindset is what has made him an artist who consistently gives more than 100 percent on stage, never holding back or delivering a half-hearted performance. Rather than rushing to place blame or making αѕѕumptions without knowing the full story, what fans hope for most now is for Jungkook to recover quickly, stay healthy, and continue the remainder of BTS's tour in good condition.

Following Jungkook's comments, many fans also took to social media to share their thoughts on the situation:

- They haven't said anything yet, and on top of that, they are all smiles. He’s been a part of this team longer than you can imagine. You are only there to support his pαѕѕion, nothing more

- Have you ever thin of JK pov, not yours? He is not a kid, he is adult. He can say no if he want to drawback from any action that he not willing to do. He even can put down jin after that, but he choose to not do it, he keep piggyback seokjin and walked aroud

- It's honestly sad that the speculation got so out of hand that Jungkook had to address it himself. People should've waited instead of pointing fingers

- Instead of looking for someone to blame, let's focus on wishing Jungkook a speedy recovery. His health should be everyone's priority

- Jungkook always gives 100% on stage, sometimes even pushing himself too hard. I just hope he gets enough rest and stays healthy throughout the tour

- The fact that Jungkook felt the need to explain what happened says everything. The unnecessary blame toward Jin should never have escalated this far

- Jungkook ended up clearing the air during his ending ment. This puts an end to all the αѕѕumptions. Hope he recovers quickly
