BTS Jungkook Apologizes for US Concert Sound Issues

BTS member Jungkook has publicly apologized to fans for an audio issue that occurred during their US tour.

BTS held their concert 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN TAMPA' at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, USA. This concert was their first US performance in approximately four years, and local fans had high expectations.

However, on the first day of the concert, the 25th, an audio accident occurred during the 'Magic Shop' performance. Specifically, during Jungkook's part, the audio was so excessively tuned that it sounded like a different voice rather than his own, causing controversy. In response, Jungkook re-sang 'Magic Shop' a cappella after the stage to address the situation.

After the concert, Jungkook explained the situation to fans via his personal social media, stating, "Yes, it was a Magic Shop audio issue. Don't worry, no worries. I'll fix it starting today." He also promised to improve the audio issues. Furthermore, he apologized to fans and shared his honest feelings, saying, "​ARMYs who came to the concert yesterday, I'm sorry. I was angry too."

Starting with the Tampa concert, BTS will continue their North American tour, with a total of 31 performances scheduled in 12 cities including Mexico City, Las Vegas, and Chicago.
