Sweltering heat, oppressive humidity, and a swarm of bugs — that’s how the weather in Goyang could be described last weekend. However, despite the scorching heat and the “love bugs” clinging to everyone, ARMYs were seen cheering and singing joyfully under the stadium’s dome.
At the heart of all this excitement was the first concert kicking off Jin’s solo fan concert tour across 9 cities worldwide. What made this show stand out from typical concerts was not only the music, but also its tight connection to the "Run Jin" episodes.
Jin, the warm-hearted and seasoned “custom-made for ARMY” trainer, continues his journey of challenges through the #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, a spin-off concept from his popular variety show.
He opened the night with powerful performances of “Running Wild” and “I’ll Be There,” accompanied by brilliant fireworks and surprise water cannons — creating a refreshing atmosphere despite the unpleasant weather, and setting fans’ hearts ablaze. Throughout the concert, ARMYs were captivated not just by Jin’s musical talent and flawless fan interaction, but also by the stunning light effects and uniquely designed stages.
While fans inside the venue were screaming with excitement over the concert’s setup, some local residents were ѕнσ¢кed — misunderstanding the spectacle as a mαѕѕive fire at the auxiliary stadium.
Specifically, a post quickly went viral on кσяєαn online communities when the original poster shared that her friend (a non-fan) said "the auxiliary stadium was on fire, and I was like, “What are you talking about? I was inside!” But then I saw the video they sent and burst out laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I mean, is "Another Level" looked like that from the outside? It seriously looked like a large fire ㅋㅋㅋ"
The shared video showed towering flames erupting, and from that angle, it truly looked like a dangerous fire. Other nearby residents commented that they had thought the same and were wondering what was going on inside — unaware that it was simply part of Jin’s performance effects.
The topic quickly garnered a wave of humorous and entertaining responses online:
- Waitttt whatt im so GAMJJAGIYA what is happening before i read all coment
- I want to laugh, but if you look at it from the outside, especially people who don't know there is a concert. They will definitely think it's a fire
- As soon as I saw video before reading the content, really scared for a sec
- without sounds, it does looks like the stadium is on fire
- Jin knows how to burn it up. Those who do not know will think it is actually a fire
- I got scared for a second and then unmuted the video
- Hahahha its another level of stage effct so hotttt
- What a master piece. I wish I could see a show like that here in my country some day
- with the big screens, it looks like it's burning down
- It’s a good thing the fire trucks didn’t show up — it totally looked like an actual fire scene~~~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, this is hilarious.
- It really was on fire, haha. Meanwhile, I was in there burning my soul~~~ㅋㅋㅋ
Meanwhile, #RunSeokjin_Episode.Tour is regarded as the final “episode” of “Run Jin” — a place where fans could fully appreciate Jin’s entertainer-level variety sкιℓℓs, his finesse in fan interaction, unwavering live vocals, endearing charm, and above all, his genuine love for ARMY.
This original and heartfelt concept has brought joy and happiness to ARMY and serves as a strong source of energy fueling BTS’s next chapter. Jin will continue his fan concert tour with 18 shows across 9 cities, including Chiba and Osaka (נαραи), Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark (USA), London (UK), and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
