Jin RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR Day 1 in Goyang: V, RM, J-Hope show support, BTS' parents attend, Choi Ye Na duet and more
An extension of his variety series Run Jin, this solo tour is Jin's personal gift to fans. It was packed with nostalgia, charm, and his signature humor. The stage came alive as Jin greeted thousands of fans, setting the tone with a dramatic performance of Running Wild. It's the title track from his solo debut album Happy.
BTS support and flying kisses for ARMY
As soon as the concert began, fans spotted familiar faces in the crowd. BTS members V (Kim Taehyung), RM, and J-Hope made surprise appearances to cheer on their bandmate. Moreover, Jungkook's, Yoongi's, and J-Hope's parents were also spotted showing their support at the concert.
After opening with I'll Be There, With the Clouds, and Falling, Jin paused to greet ARMY warmly. Flashing his signature flying kisses, he teased, 'I really wanted to do the kiss so much, and at interviews, I said I would wait to do it at the concert.' Hearing him, cheers erupted across the stadium.
Run Jin comes to life on stage
Taking the theme of challenges from Run Jin, Jin brought fan-interactive games into the concert setlist. In one highlight, he declared ARMY the special guest of the night, saying, 'You are all my favorite people.' He then launched into the Telepathy Game, where he guessed fan-actuated keywords. Each correct answer influenced his costume choice for the quirky track Super Tuna.
Later, a Sing Along Game brought out the infamous tray penalty from Run Jin. Jin laughed through the chaos, even pretending to lose on the final question just to make fans laugh. 'It's really fun listening to your singing. It feels like I've become a fan of ARMY,' he beamed.
Explosive guest performances
Jin gave fans a rollercoaster of emotions with soulful piano renditions of I Will Come to You and Abyss. Then, switching gears, he fired up the stadium with rock-infused tracks like Background and Another Level.
The energy skyrocketed when Choi Ye Na joined Jin for a duet of Loser. Their chemistry lit up the stage, and before exiting, Ye Na teased her upcoming comeback in late July. She expressed her gratitude for performing in front of ARMY.
A medley of hits
Jin continued the show with Rope It and a vibrant medley of BTS classics including Dynamite, Butter, Mikrokosmos, and Spring Day. It turned the stadium into a glowing sea of purple lightsticks and voices.
As the grand finale approached, Jin performed a moving rendition of The Astronaut. He laid flat on stage as confetti and fireworks created a dreamlike ending. But ARMY wasn't ready to let go.
encore, epiphany, and moonlight moments
Responding to chants, Jin returned for an emotional encore, performing his beloved solo track Epiphany from Love Yourself: Answer. Taking a moment to reflect, he revealed that the entire tour was prepared in just four months. It's a fraction of the usual year-long planning.
With a giant group selfie and one last shout of Run Jin!, he descended from the stage to sing Moon up close with the crowd. He wrapped up the concert with To Me, Today.
Witty merch and what's next
One special detail has gone viral! A towel handed out at the concert was stamped with the cheeky message: 'Towel of those who won the ticketing battle.' Fans flooded online communities with photos, praising Jin's humor and thoughtfulness.
Jin's Goyang stop includes an additional performance before he heads abroad for the rest of the RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. The tour is set to continue in Chiba, Osaka, Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, Newark, London, and Amsterdam.

BTS' RM relaxes in Disneyland with HYBE staff, shares quote about ‘rewriting the narrative' amid working on new group album
BTS knows how to make the most of their time, maintaining a work-life balance like it's no one's business. Currently in the USA for working on their new album set for a release in early 2026, the boys have been spotted hanging out in Los Angeles, grabbing some Korean food at traditional spots in the city, going shopping, and now taking to an amusement park for a good time! According to onlookers on July 30, RM was spotted out and about in California, enjoying some rides at Disneyland with his agency's staff. Photos of RM walking at Disneyland were shared by fans online. According to the pictures, the singer was dressed in a denim shirt with butterfly motifs on them, over beige cargo pants and white sneakers. Covering his head with a navy cap, the star did not look bothered or attempt to disguise himself further. Taking his time to relax and away from probably music-heavy sessions in the studio, the BTS member is said to have enjoyed a ride on the rollercoaster. Another fan shared her experience of sitting in the same slot as the star, talking about how 'blessed' she felt. They crossed paths once again and it became a joyous moment for the BTS ARMY. Is RM planning to rewrite BTS' history? In other news, while the BTS leader did not post any photos from his Disneyland visit so far, he has taken to his Instagram to share a quote from a book he seems to be reading. Fans soon figured that it was a quote from Kim Young Ha's book One Life, who was RM's fellow cast member on the talk show Dictionary of Useless Human Knowledge. Multiple paragraphs in the photo, the rapper had underlined the words talking about aptly changing your narrative to merge it with the ending. "Like a ferryboat without a boatman reaching the shore carried by the current, life drifts and arrives somewhere. The future was its destination. [What we all we is,] It's about rewriting the narrative of the past to align with the ending."

BTS' V shows off huge muscles in gym selfie with bodybuilder friend, gears up with new look ahead of August surprise
Kim Taehyung is well on his way to becoming the most muscular member among the Bangtan Boys, and here's the latest proof! On July 30, V shared a selfie taken with Choi Han Jin, a professional bodybuilder and someone the BTS member seems to have developed a close friendship with. A casual 'V' pose in the photo of the two, fans immediately went into a meltdown with how handsome the star looked in it. Drenched in sweat, probably taken just after a workout, V displayed the epitome of K-pop idol beauty in the photo. A grey T-shirt covered his torso with rolled-up sleeves, trying and failing to contain his muscly biceps. Fans who checked out the photo could not help but notice how far along his two arm moles had gotten. The marks which previously stood a couple of inches apart are separate poles now, thanks to the gym gains of the singer. And while he was able to make an 'elephant face' with them earlier, we wonder what it would appear as now. V boasts muscular growth in just 2 months More notably, V has hung out with Choi Han Jin in the past, working out at the gym solo and with fellow BTS member Jungkook, showing off their growth. Fans have also made a note of his buffed-up physique over the last couple of months, especially since his military discharge. Once appearing toned, he now looks more muscular. BTS is said to be working out together as the members opened up about their very competitive sessions in Los Angeles. Now, back in South Korea, Jungkook hung out with Physical: 100 star Ma Sun Ho just a day ago, showing off his own physique and giving a clearer peek at his new chest ink. The two youngest members of the team have been making the fans go crazy with the gym updates and getting them excited for possible shirtless moments. Meanwhile, the Rainy Days star recently spoke about a surprise for the BTS ARMY, which will be released in August, and while he did not spill any details, the fans are guessing a photoshoot or a new song could be on the way.
