2026년 5월 1일
From April 26 to 28, the Arirang World Tour show at Tampa Stadium in Florida sold out completely. The three-day run drew a total of 180,000 attendees, serving as a midpoint in the North American leg and heightening fans' expectations. Onstage, what drew particular attention were Jungkook's free-spirited hip sway, precise footwork, and improvisational mic ad-libs. Fan-cam videos amassed millions of views and spread quickly, and his outfits also drew notice, with shots showing him in a slick jacket paired with chain accessories and a baggy streetwear look that revealed tattoos. Fans say these videos sparked buzz among fans from all circles; @JKchartsmaster shared Jungkook's performance and expressed awe, while @guguloved exclaimed, 'I'm completely hooked on this diva. Why is she so captivating?' A short clip posted by @jjkgaIlery captured Jungkook's expressions and movements, expressing awe with the phrase 'MY BABY.' Behind-the-scenes footage outside the venue that shows V and Jungkook laughing and syncing their steps in a foggy backstage also surfaced and became a talking point among fans. The Arirang World Tour, starting from the Tampa show, heads into the North American schedule and will continue with more than 85 performances across 23 countries and 34 cities, making it the largest K-pop tour in history.
