In the past few days, j-hope has held 3 concerts in Seoul as part of his HOPE ON THE STAGE tour. The impression he left in his performances has left fans unforgettable.
Not only were fans excited to enjoy j-hope's concert, they also expected to see BTS members cheering for him. This expectation was so great that There are many photos accusing V of appearing at concert venue on the first day.
However, recently, V spoke up to clarify this and a netizen also corrected the photo that was circulated:
On this day, кσяєαn media reported that j-hope attracted 37,500 au∂ιєnces during the three-day concert held at KSPO Dome. He performed a total of 21 songs from 'One Bus' to his new song 'Sweet Dreams'. Each performance was a visual feast with eye-catching choreography and lighting combined with vibrant music and captivating vocals.
j-hope's powerful comeback after nearly 2 years of military service received enthusiastic support from ARMYs around the world and also evoked the fandom spirit before all BTS members reunited. In particular, j-hope's performance also made fans eagerly await the appearance of other members of the group, including those who are currently serving in the military. Until the last night of the show, Jin appeared and brought the most enthusiastic cheering for his younger brother.
However, before that, on day 1 of the concert series, fans had seen an image that was widely circulated on social media, reporting that V was present at the concert venue. The photo that went viral showed a person with a similar appearance to V in a military uniform, his face hidden behind a scarf and hat, holding a phone. The person who shared the photo also said that the location was near the KSPO Dome.
Since then, fans have been excitedly celebrating that V was there to cheer for j-hope despite carefully examining the photo. It wasn't until a few hours after the first day of the concert ended with no further photos or videos of V being there that fans began to doubt the authenticity of the information.
Fortunately, on March 3, the day after the Seoul concert series ended, V spoke up to clarify whether he was there or not with a post on Weverse. He captioned it: "I'm so sad that I can't attend the concert. It's an opportunity to see ARMYs", which is equivalent to confirming that he did not attend the concert.
Not stopping there, a few hours before V's post was posted, a man also shared a post on SNS about the man believed to be V and the story behind the photo. This netizen explained that the person in the photo was his son, not BTS idol - V. The woman in the frame was also pointed out to be his wife.
The original text of this father's post is as follows: "Last Friday, the 28th, on the day my eldest son returned from vacation…We took him to Dongseoul Terminal, but since there was still some time before his bus to Hwacheon, we stopped by Olympic Park for a bit. We took a short walk, had a cup of coffee, and pαѕѕed the time before leaving. But then, the incident? happened the next day. A photo of my eldest son started circulating on Instagram…Suddenly, my eldest son had become BTS’s V! The funniest part? Even my wife ended up in the photo!".
It turns out that V was unable to attend j-hope's concert in Seoul. This also means that fans were in big trouble while looking forward to seeing their members who are serving in the army after a long time. However, even though he was unable to attend, it did not diminish his support for his bandmate.
On the other hand, while many BTS members were unable to attend to cheer for j-hope, their parents did. ARMYs witnessed the appearance of Jin, SUGA, Jungkook, and RM's families in the au∂ιєnce. In the videos and photos that went viral, their mothers were clearly seen sitting in the front row while their fathers were sitting in the row right behind. The outstanding visuals and the resemblance to the members also make fans unable to help but exclaim.
Finally, there are only 3 months left until the BTS members will return as a whole after being discharged from the military. So there is nothing to regret! Instead, enjoy j-hope's solo concert in the upcoming days!
