j-hope held the encore concert of his world tour 'j-Hope Tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE' FINAL' at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of June 13 - the 12th anniversary of BTS's debut.
The seats were filled with 27,000 excited ARMYs. Earlier, the news of the full appearance of all 7 BTS members further increased the excitement in the au∂ιєnce and online fans around the world.
Not only did fans witness the reunion of the 7 members for the first time in a long time, but they also received special performances as a gift to celebrate FESTA 2025.
Jungkook, who was a guest on the first day of the concert, appeared on stage just two days after his discharge from the military, showing his special affection for j-hope and ARMY. After performing 'I wonder' with j-hope, the Golden Maknae performed his first solo single 'Seven'.
Although this was his first stage after serving in the military for 1 year and 6 months, Jungkook showed off his unchanged sкιℓℓs and stage presence, attracting admiration.
In particular, Jungkook's idol appearance, which was first shown to fans in 18 months, also made fans go crazy. He revealed a new tattoo that extended past his shoulder, almost reaching his chest. It seems that this tattoo was updated during his military service.
Jungkook is famous for his artistic and meaningful tattoos about his life and career on his entire right arm. While fans thought the tattoo was completed before he enlisted, he himself has no intention of stopping.
Many fans were excited to see Jungkook getting more tattoos and were looking forward to seeing the full set soon:
- He gave us a sneak peak. I CANT SURVIVE THISS OMGGG
- It's good, I'm finished. istg i cant with this man
- It’s over for me I fear. He looks like not wanting to end tattoo career in his right arm

- Jungkook how about a new instagram account and the first post is your shirtless picture flaunting all your tattooos???
While j-hope and the fans were cheering for Jungkook, he opened up about his nervousness performing for the first time since being discharged from the military: “I was really nervous up there. A year and six months... I missed you so much. Really. My mind just went blank”. He shyly added, “I kept wondering if I even belonged here. Everything still feels fresh in my mind, but this place feels so new.”
In response, j-hope expressed his gratitude toward Jungkook, saying, “I was really touched that Jungkook volunteered to come up on stage.” Jungkook then gave him a tight hug and said, “I’m even more grateful,” creating a heartwarming moment.
This performance is the final show of the world tour that started at KSPO DOME in Seoul in February. Before that, j-hope met about 470,000 au∂ιєnces through 31 performances in 15 cities including Brooklyn, Chicago and мєχι¢σ City.
