BTS member Jin electrified the audience with his “God of Beauty” visuals and “Siren” vocals, delivering a flawless live performance.
BTS, the group Jin belongs to, kicked off the first US leg of their Arirang World Tour (BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN TAMPA) on the 26th (KST) at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
“Live King” Jin graced the stage with his renowned beautiful voice, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Showcasing his “Visual King” status with a sculpted appearance and a forehead-revealing hairstyle, Jin effortlessly navigated between low and ultra-high notes throughout every song of the concert. His solid yet refreshing perfect live vocals and elegant performance garnered thunderous cheers. Jin’s exceptional ability to connect with the audience and his captivating stage presence also became a hot topic, drawing an explosive response.
During the high-note section of “Into the Sun,” Jin stepped off the main rail, high-fiving the members as they rotated past, adding even more enjoyment for the audience. He further enriched the performance by playfully holding the microphone for his bandmates, delivering an unbelievably perfect live experience. Jin’s heartwarming “thumb kiss” gesture to the audience also went viral.
During the talk segment, Jin showcased his unrivaled visuals and signature hand kiss, asking if any fans had attended his “Run Seokjin (Tour)” last year. He then shared that, as he felt last year, Tampa truly is the best. Jin revealed that his positive experience with a solo concert in Tampa led him to strongly recommend the city to his fellow members for their tour. He expressed that after today’s performance, he has absolutely no regrets about that choice, concluding with a thank you and a promise for continued support, which was met with fervent applause.
Last year, Jin was the first BTS member to hold a concert in Tampa with his debut solo tour, #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. Moved by Tampa’s passionate and incredible support and atmosphere, Jin promised to return to the city with his fellow members for a tour. This made the current BTS concert in Tampa possible thanks to Jin. Tampa fans expressed their joy and gratitude for Jin keeping his promise from last year to return, showering him with thunderous cheers and fervent support. Jin’s merchandise T-shirts also sold out quickly, highlighting his overwhelming popularity.
The overwhelming excitement for Jin extended beyond the concert venue, as the phrase ‘WELCOME TO FLORIJIN’ welcoming him back to Tampa, Florida, spectacularly topped X (formerly Twitter) trends in the US, Korea, and several other countries worldwide.
BTS will continue their ‘Arirang World Tour’ in Tampa on the 27th and 29th (KST). The ‘Arirang World Tour’ by BTS is the largest in K-pop history.
