BTS member Jungkook revealed that he suffered a back injury during the group’s London concert but continued performing until the end of the show, leaving fans concerned about his health.
Jungkook performed at “BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG in LONDON” at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on July 7. During the second and final night of the concert, he reportedly felt pain in his back but stayed on stage and completed the scheduled performance with the group.
After the concert, videos of Jungkook holding his back during certain moments and moving differently from his usual performances spread across social media. Fans quickly noticed the change and began sharing concerns about the singer’s condition.
According to AllKPop, during his ending remarks, Jungkook personally addressed what happened and explained that he felt something was wrong while performing.
“I hurt my back during the performance, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t fully focus on stage,” Jungkook said. “I was enjoying the concert so much and giving it my all, but I realized that something was wrong with my body.”
Jungkook Reassures Fans
The singer also tried to reassure fans by making lighthearted comments and promising to focus on his recovery. His words helped calm some worries, but many fans continued to encourage him to prioritize his health.
Following the news, the hashtag “GET WELL SOON JUNGKOOK” gained attention online as fans sent messages of support.
Many expressed admiration for his dedication while also asking his agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, to make sure he receives enough rest and proper care during the demanding tour schedule, Otakukart reported.
