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, he said, referring to BTS’ debut anniversary date, Korean media reported.
Jungkook made a surprise appearance at the concert. J-Hope performed ‘i wonder” with Jungkook, who also performed his solo single “Seven.”
Jungkook said, 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 said, I was so touched that Jungkook readily agreed to come up on stage.”
In addition, Jin was J-Hope’s second guest at the concert. J-Hope performed “Spring Day” with Jin, who also performed “Don’t Say You Love Me.”
After this, Jungkook appeared on the stage again. J-Hope, Jungkook and Jin performed “Jamais Vu,” a song that the three recorded and released in April 2019 as part of the “Map of the Soul: Persona” album.
“We are back!” J-Hope announced BTS’ return.
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, he said.
It was the first time that all members of BTS met ARMYs in one place since their “Yet to Come in Busan” concert held on Oct. 15, 2022. In December 2022, Jin enlisted in the military followed by J-Hope in April 2023.
