AceShowbiz - BTS a.k.a. Bangtan Boys performed at Wembley Stadium in London for two nights in a row on Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2. But the second night was extra emotional as the seven-piece boyband was surprised with a rendition of "Young Forever" by fans.
In videos taken and shared by fans online, the boys looked confused as the music of "Young Forever" was played and the lyrics were displayed on the screen. They soon broke down in tears as the crowd sang the chorus.
"BTS reaction to Young Forever surprise event," one posted along with a clip from the event. "The way they were confused for a second and then crumbled. I literally have been crying for a hot minute now.."
Another shared, "The staff made army sing the chorus of Young Forever and damn when I tell you the boys burst in tears omg I'm so emo rn. Especially Jungkook and Jimin, those two couldn't even stop and made me cry too (sic)."
The group's leader Rap Monster a.k.a. RM tried to bring back the mood and said, "You can't do this. This was not on the setlist." Jin said with teary eyes, "This will be the memory I will never forget."
BTS' fans, known as ARMY, have been the group's biggest motivation. Jimin recently said during a press conference, "Rather than focus on records what I felt was from our 'Love Yourself' tour we had a series of performances and I thought, how long we can go on doing this but I want to perform with the members and fans as long as I can."
He continued, "For as long as I can. I would like to do what I'm doing. That's my goal." Jin added, "We are trying to stay healthy as much as we can. The healthier we are the longer we can spend with fans."
They plan to hold fan meetings in Busan and Seoul, Korea as they are celebrating their sixth anniversary in June.
