BTS member Jungkook revealed that he suffered a back injury during the group’s London concert, but continued to perform until the end of the show, leaving fans worried about his health.
Jungkook performed at “BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG in LONDON” at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on July 7. During the second and final night of the concert, he reportedly felt pain in his back but remained on stage and completed the scheduled performance with the group.
After the concert, videos of Jungkook holding his back at certain moments and moving differently from his usual performances spread across social media. Fans immediately noticed the change and began sharing concerns about the singer’s condition.
According to AllKPop, during his closing remarks, Jungkook personally addressed what happened and explained that he felt something was wrong during the performance.
“I hurt my back during the show and I’m sorry that I couldn’t fully concentrate on stage,” Jungkook said. “I was enjoying the concert so much and giving it my all, but I realized something was wrong with my body.”
Jungkook reassures fans
The singer also tried to reassure fans by making light-hearted comments and promising to focus on his recovery. His words helped calm some concerns, but many fans continued to encourage him to prioritize his health.
Following the news, the hashtag “GET WELL SOON JUNGKOOK” gained attention online as fans sent messages of support.
Many have expressed admiration for his dedication and also asked his agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, to ensure he receives enough rest and proper care during the demanding tour schedule, Otakukart reported.
Large-scale K-pop concerts require intense choreography, long performances and frequent travel, making physical recovery especially important for performers.
Jungkook’s injury also drew attention to the physical challenges faced by artists during world tours. Supporters said they would understand whether adjustments were needed for future phases to protect his recovery.
For now, BIGHIT MUSIC has not released an official statement detailing the severity of Jungkook’s back injury or whether his upcoming plans will change.
