BTS comes out in full OT7 fashion, albeit in a different way. Jimin wrote an emotional post on Weverse when the members’ wishes came out in the form of a video, and Jungkook appeared on the site a long time later. On the other hand, J-Hope broke through the technical difficulties in Times Square in New York with his performance. Fans noticed he also hurt his wrist earlier when he slipped and fell on the stairs during rehearsal.
In videos that have gone viral on the internet, the stalwart J-Hope sings some of his best tracks and choreographs hits including “Chicken Noodle Soup.” In the background, the audience can be heard cheering “Go Hobi!”

One fan wrote, “Hbelt Slipped while going down the stairs 🙁 overall the sound wasn’t great, his mic was always off…he seemed annoyed with everything, keep in mind he’s the only one who’s encountered rehearsal so far The people in question (say 4 artists) have already rehearsed). “

Meanwhile, BTS members wrote emotional notes for ARMY on Weverse. Jimin commented on that year and mentioned that he would come back with good music. “However, this year has passed quickly, and it seems that a lot of things have happened. After the epidemic is over, we can meet again after a while, cry, laugh, and have fun together. We will promote it on music shows after the album is released. We played our songs and held a big concert in my hometown Busan.
I also saw Ho Seok hyung and Nam Joon hyung performing their album on the stage they prepared, and Seok Jin hyung doing his military service too. Ha ha…”
Jimin was a bit confused when J-Hope commented on all the members’ posts saying he liked them. “Why are you still writing it here,” Jimin asked.
While RM, J-Hope, and Jin have released their solos, all eyes are on Jungkook, V, Jimin, and Suga, who are expected to share their solos soon.
