BTS (BTS) member Jungkook issued a public apology regarding the sound controversy at his U.S. concert.

BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will hold the concert 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN TAMPA' at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, from the 25th through the 28th.

This U.S. concert marks the first time since 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' in Las Vegas in April 2022, approximately four years later, drawing intense interest from local fans.

However, an unfortunate incident occurred from the first day of the performance on the 25th. A sound malfunction happened during the 'Magic Shop' stage. Particularly during Jungkook's part, the audio was so heavily tuned that it sounded like another person's voice, sparking controversy. In response, Jungkook handled the sound issue by singing 'Magic Shop' a cappella once more after the main performance concluded.

Additionally, after the performance on the 25th, Jungkook posted on his personal SNS, stating, "Yes, there was a sound issue with Magic Shop. No worries. I'll get it under control starting today," emphasizing his commitment to paying closer attention to the sound.

He also did not forget to apologize to ARMY (the fandom name) who attended the concert. Jungkook said, "I'm sorry to the ARMY who came to see yesterday's performance," and expressed his anger, adding, "I'm angry too."
