BTS Jin expressed warm consolation to fans who couldn’t secure tickets in the fierce reservation battle for his first solo fan concert ‘#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR,’ showing his ‘ultimate love for fans’ side.
On the 29th, Jin communicated with fans in real-time through the fan community Weverse, empathizing with fans who failed to reserve concert tickets and encouraging them generously.
This concert is set to be held on June 28-29 for two days at the auxiliary stadium of Goyang Sports Complex. It drew even more anticipation as it marks Jin’s first solo stage following his military service. However, ticket reservation was literally a ‘bloody battle.’ Despite one connection per person, the waiting number exceeded 80,000 people, resulting in numerous fans failing to secure tickets.
That day, a fan left a post on Weverse saying, “Failed to reserve… Only see a gray screen… Can’t see grapes (seats),” to which Jin responded, “I picked the biggest available place…ㅠㅠ” showing his regret.
Another fan said, “I wish you would do it in a bigger venue next time,” to which Jin honestly confessed the background of the reservation chaos by saying, “It was decided on a sudden whim, so there was no venue…ㅠㅠ I barely managed to secure it. My fault for not planning…”
When a fan asked, “Will you do an encore concert?” Jin replied, “I don’t have one…ㅠㅠ Sorryㅠㅠ” sharing his regret, and continued a pleasant interaction with fans, saying, “I thought it was ‘goodbye concert’ until now” regarding the term ‘encore concert.’
After hearing about the ticket reservation situation, Jin expressed surprise, saying “Wow, I didn’t know Seokjinie was this popular,” and displayed his humble and kind-hearted ‘true fan-fool’ side, remaining modest in front of fans despite being a star.
At Interpark Ticket where the reservation was conducted, Jin’s concert instantly ranked as the number-one overall ticket sales, proving global popularity once more.
