BTS Members Reunite at J-Hope’s Concert on Debut Anniversary
K-pop sensation BTS marked their 12th debut anniversary on June 13 with a heartfelt reunion during J-Hope’s “Hope on the Stage” Final concert. The event took place at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. This special gathering featured all BTS members coming together, celebrating their journey and connection with fans.
J-Hope led the concert’s first day, performing a mix of solo tracks including “What if…,” “Pandora’s Box,” “Arson,” and “Stop.” On stage, he was joined by Jin and Jungkook, while RM, V, Jimin, and Suga cheered from the audience. The reunion was a powerful moment for both the members and their loyal ARMY.
“It’s finally the final performance. I can’t believe it either. We’ve been on tour for three months starting in Seoul at the end of February. This performance has finally reached the final. June 13th, I’m so honored to be doing this meaningful day. Thank you for taking your precious time today. It’s 613 and J-Hope’s final performance, so let’s have fun like crazy,” J-Hope shared, referencing BTS’ debut date.
Jungkook’s Surprise Appearance Delights Fans
Jungkook made an unexpected entrance that thrilled concertgoers. He joined J-Hope in performing “i wonder” and also delivered his solo hit “Seven.” Jungkook expressed his emotions, saying, “I was so nervous off stage. One year and six months. I missed you so much and I’m happy to be able to perform on stage in front of you all after such a long time.”
J-Hope revealed his gratitude, noting, “I was so touched that Jungkook readily agreed to come up on stage.”
Jin Joins the Celebration
Jin also appeared as a guest, performing a duet of “Spring Day” with J-Hope. Additionally, Jin treated the audience to his solo track, “Don’t Say You Love Me.” Later, Jungkook returned to the stage, joining J-Hope and Jin to perform “Jamais Vu,” a song released in 2019 as part of the “Map of the Soul: Persona” album.
J-Hope proudly announced, “We are back! It’s time for all the members to finish their military service and come back. I think we have a lot to show you. We will prepare hard and show you, so please look forward to it. Thank you to the members who are with us. I love you.”
