BTS’s Jungkook shocks fans with first post-military performance at J-Hope’s concert
Jungkook stunned fans on June 13 by making his first stage appearance since being discharged from the military. He and Jimin were discharged on June 11, sparking excitement over their immediate return to the spotlight.
The BTS members, including Suga, were seen attending J-Hope’s concert earlier that day. But initial photos of the group missed Jungkook, fueling rumors that his supposed appearance on stage was photoshopped, especially since a similar fake image featuring Jin also circulated.
Fans were in for a surprise as Jungkook appeared live on stage during the show. He joined J-Hope for “I Wonder,” their 2024 duet.
Fan reaction:
“JUNGKOOK PERFORMING I WONDER WITH HOBI”
