All seven members of BTS reunited in person at j-hope’s solo concert, marking the group’s long-awaited return as a complete unit.

The emotional highlight of the evening came when Jin and Jung Kook surprised fans by joining j-hope onstage, creating unforgettable moments for those in attendance.

Held Friday (June 13) at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, the final show of j-hope’s “HOPE ON THE STAGE” world tour encore coincided with the 12th anniversary of BTS’ debut — making the night even more meaningful for both the group and its global fandom, ARMY.

Jung Kook made a surprise appearance during j-hope’s solo track “i wonder…,” instantly sending the crowd into a frenzy. His unexpected entrance electrified the atmosphere, and fans responded with roaring cheers. “I really missed you,” he told the audience with a bright smile, before launching into a powerful performance of his solo hit “Seven,” drawing an explosive response.

Later in the show, Jin took the stage during the encore segment. After performing BTS’ beloved hit “Spring Day” alongside j-hope, Jin continued with a moving performance of his second solo EP’s title track, “Don’t Say You Love Me.” The emotional momentum continued as Jung Kook returned to the stage, joining Jin and j-hope for a special unit performance of “Jamais Vu,” closing the evening on a high note.

While Jin and Jung Kook took the stage, RM, Jimin, V and SUGA were spotted in the audience, watching the show and cheering their bandmate on. “I was singing while looking at my members,” j-hope told the crowd, expressing his deep affection for the group.

Jung Kook later added, “I was so nervous backstage. I’m here today because of my members. It felt overwhelming to stand in front of our fans again.”

This show also marked the first live performance of j-hope’s new post-military track “Killin’ It Girl” featuring GloRilla, signaling the start of a new chapter in his solo journey.

The stadium was filled with fans from both Korea and around the world, who came together to witness the long-awaited full group reunion. As all seven members reunited at j-hope’s concert, the moment served as a powerful reminder of BTS’ enduring unity and connection with their fans.
