During Jin’s solo concert, all members of BTS gathered on stage to show their support — a long-awaited reunion that sent fans into an emotional frenzy. The highlight came when Jin, V and Jimin performed the group’s beloved hit “Spring Day,” one of BTS’s most iconic songs.
However, what should have been a touching moment soon became the subject of heated debate online. Many fans and Korean netizens were left surprised — even disappointed — by the trio’s unsteady vocals, missed lyrics, and visible awkwardness on stage.
Clips from the performance circulated rapidly on community forums like theqoo and Pann, where some commenters expressed embarrassment and frustration:
- I felt secondhand embarrassment watching that… you could tell they weren’t confident.
- Isn’t ‘Spring Day’ one of their signature songs? How can they forget the lyrics?
- They looked like rookies who just debuted. Even if it was impromptu, this is still a concert!
- Only RM, Jungkook, and J-Hope were decent. The rest… not so much.
- Jin was okay, but he never improves. Jimin and V were honestly terrible. How can they still be called vocalists?
- They really should practice singing more.
- I feel bad for their fans — how can anyone call that ‘good’?
- V was the worst. He forgot lyrics, avoided singing, and played around to hide it. Unbelievable.
According to netizens, V received the most criticism, with multiple videos pointing out moments where he appeared to avoid singing lines or look visibly flustered.
In response, BTS’s fandom ARMY quickly came to the members’ defense, emphasizing that the performance was not rehearsed and was meant to be a casual, nostalgic gesture rather than a polished live stage.
- They were just having fun and singing for fans — it wasn’t meant to be a serious performance.
- Even professionals make mistakes, especially during spontaneous moments.
- People are being too harsh just because it’s BTS. Their standards are impossibly high.
Supporters also noted that the emotional context — Jin’s solo concert marking his post-military return — made the moment more about sincerity than technical perfection.
While the performance may have fallen short of fans’ expectations, it also served as a reminder that even world-class artists can have imperfect moments.
Live vocals, especially during unplanned performances, are unpredictable — and forgetting lyrics or going off-key can happen to anyone, regardless of fame.
BTS’s “Spring Day” mishap may have sparked criticism, but for many fans, it was still a heartwarming reunion — a rare glimpse of seven brothers sharing the stage once more.
