From Tampa to Los Angeles, BTS held a total of 31 shows across 12 locations in North αмєяι¢α, attracting around 1.7 million fans. Everywhere BTS went, they were met with an enthusiastic welcome. Some local communities even organized BTS Week or BTS Boulevard, while at some shows, local au∂ιєnces even held up South кσяєαn flags and pαѕѕionately sang along to the folk song “Arirang” when “Body to Body” played.
With their fourth show on September 6, which was also BTS’s final show in Los Angeles, the North αмєяι¢αn leg of the “ARIRANG” tour officially came to an end. In response to the overwhelming support from fans throughout the entire leg, BTS delivered an explosive performance that was almost impossible to top on the final night. However, what caused the biggest stir among the public immediately after the show was Jungkook’s entire performance that day.
From the very beginning of “2.0,” Jungkook sent the entire stadium into a frenzy when he appeared with his upper body almost completely bare, wearing only a jacket and showing off his muscular chest and glistening six-pack abs. His appearance even got the BTS members excited. In particular, j-hope “helped” ARMY get an even better look by pulling Jungkook’s jacket open, leaving the maknae’s upper body almost completely exposed.
Fans immediately erupted into nonstop screams, while many ARMY jokingly demanded that the broadcast be “stopped immediately” because they simply could not handle this υиєχρє¢тє∂ gift from gym king Jungkook.
However, before fans even had time to recover, Jungkook once again took them into an entirely new emotional state toward the end of the concert. Before saying goodbye to ARMY in North αмєяι¢α, he prepared his own special fan project using a small folded paper banner and said, “ARMY, it’s our last show here! So let me say, without hope or agenda… my wasted heart will love you. So, I prepared soмєтнing…”
Jungkook then pulled the sign out of his pocket, which read, “Bye, thank you ARMY, I have one thing to say… To me, you are perfect,” as the cheers of 70,000 fans filled the stadium. He ended his heartfelt message with a touching promise: “Okay, LA, I’ll definitely be back! Thank you so much for all the love and happiness you’ve given me. See ya!!”
After making ARMY completely lose it with his seductive and captivating appearance just moments earlier, Jungkook then moved them to tears with the sincerity and sweet love he showed toward his fans. They were left feeling both happy and bittersweet as they reached the final chapter of this part of the journey.
Many fans jokingly admitted that they did not know whether they should laugh or cry at that moment. It seemed like they had gone through an entire “emotional rollercoaster” in just two hours, with fans exclaiming:
- The moment this man turned 29...the air around him changed... Whats the excuse this time? Last time during g PTD it was button gave way...what about now Jungkook? Looking way too good to be a desert
- How am I supposed to stop being mesmerized by this man? He keeps putting me under his love spell over and over again. Jungkook is THE ONE AND ONLY
- OUR BELOVED Golden Maknae you also are perfect to me. i think he was inspired by this scene from “love actually” BUT IM NOT SURE
- No one loves their fans more than him. The abs, the ending being “to me you are perfect”. The drawings, stickers, word placement, he took his time on that. That love is mutual.
- So really Jungkook is just the gift that keeps giving we received two gifts from him tonight one to make our heart full and one to make us lose our sanity
- Isn't he the ѕєχiest and cutest? Btw can we appreciate the way he's written everything so neatly and the font is just so adorably him
- I genuinely don’t know whether I should scream, laugh, or cry. Jungkook really took us on an emotional rollercoaster in just one night
- Jungkook really went from making us lose our minds over his abs to telling us “to me, you are perfect”. The emotional whiplash is REAL.
