Jungkook released his solo album and started promoting his solo album since the end of last month. For this album, Jungkook has many activities to promote it including meeting fans through events or especially live performances that show the outstanding abilities of the Kpop superstar.
In particular, in recent days, Jungkook has conducted a media tour in the US to promote his album. One of the most notable activities a few hours ago was Jungkook performing at New York Times Square TSX. Even though Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music only announced it 30 minutes before, thousands of people gathered to watch him perform.
Witnessing the crowd of spectators coming to watch and cheer for Jungkook, netizens expressed their impression of his influence:
With the initial goal of targeting the foreign market, after releasing the album GOLDEN, Jungkook promoted in the United States by holding various schedules. Most recently, pop star Jungkook shook the whole local area with a surprise performance in front of Times Square in New York, USA.
There was no announcement before Jungkook performed here but there were still thousands of New York fans waiting hours in advance for his performance. It was all just fans' predictions when they saw the Billboard Calvin Klein Jungkook ad in New York Times Square TSX appear before. Not only that, 30 minutes before Jungkook's performance, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music suddenly sent a message to fans saying: "In 30 minutes, Jungkook will perform live at Times Square TSX!".
Fans were also confused by this üńệẍṗệċẗệď news and asked “What is this?”, but then, ARMYs living in New York went to Times Square faster than anyone else. Times Square quickly filled with people, reminiscent of the year-end countdown ball drop, one of the largest events in New York. They waited for the countdown to pa̾s̾s in excitement and Jungkook finally appeared on stage.
Jungkook appeared wearing black jeans, a wнιтe shirt, and a black shirt, shouted, “Let's have fun,” and then opened with the title song of this album, “Standing Next to You.” Times Square was filled with excitement as the stage continued with 'Yes Or No', '3D', 'Please Don't Change' and 'Seven'. Thousands of locals gathered around and sang along to every word of the songs on the GOLDEN album, even B-sides that were never promoted.
New York TV news also reported it because the huge crowd surrounding the New York TSX area showed Jungkook's hotness. On the Youtube platform, it also attracted more than 200,000 online viewers at that time. Through this special event, it can be seen that there is nothing to discuss about Jungkook's appeal and impact in αмєяι¢α.
“We are honored to co-create this historic moment for Jung Kook and the entire BTS group,” said TSX Entertainment co-CEO Nick Holmsten in a press statement. “His solo journey has already made history with multiple chart-topping singles, and we’re fully confident that this album will continue the trend. This marks a pivotal moment in music, particularly for K-Pop fans, and holds great significance for both Times Square and New York City.”
Responding to the media, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music also revealed: "Even before the start of the performance, the area around Times Square was very crowded, the au∂ιєnce sang Jungkook's songs and waited for 'global pop stars' appear". Then, cheers rang out". In particular, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music added that when singing 'Yes or No', even though it was a b-side song, everyone sang along, which shows the popularity of 'GOLDEN' .
