Jungkook handed the received crown and T-shirt to a female fan in a wheelchair... Revealed Jungkook's 29th birthday in LA

BTS (BTS: Jungkook, Jimin, V, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga) celebrated Jungkook's 29th birthday by turning the entire SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, into a sea of celebration. A surprise event prepared by members and fans alike immersed the entire venue in a festive birthday atmosphere.

BTS kicked off the first day of the second leg of their Arirang World Tour North America schedule at SoFi Stadium on the 1st (local time). That day was Jungkook's birthday. The celebrations began even before the main performance, during soundcheck. Members sang a birthday song on stage, and fans in attendance joined in with their voices.

During the main performance, a surprise event continued. Members briefly paused the show and brought out a cake and a specially made crown to celebrate Jungkook. Jin personally placed a silver crown on Jungkook's head, drawing attention. Shortly after V guided fans to look up at the large screen, the words "Happy Birthday Jungkook" lit up alongside the lights, covering the entire stands with cheers.

During Jungkook's closing remarks, fans created what is known as a "golden ocean" using light sticks, banners, and hats to express their affection for him. Jungkook expressed gratitude to the fans, saying it was an honor to share his birthday with them during all these moments.

There was another particularly touching scene. Immediately after the congratulatory sequence ended, Jungkook headed straight toward the fence and stopped in front of a female fan in a wheelchair. He took off his outer T-shirt, jumped down from the stage, approached the fan, reached out through the fence, placed the silver birthday crown he had just received on her head, and also handed over the T-shirt he had removed. The emotional fan was captured by fans' cameras from multiple angles and quickly spread across online platforms. One fan said, "Even though everyone is celebrating his birthday, Jungkook still takes care to make someone else special," adding, "His kindness is so instinctive and deeply rooted in who he is that it seems he naturally shares a piece of his happiness without even thinking twice."

Celebrations continued outside the stage. V and J-Hope posted scenes from a private cake-cutting session with members on their respective Instagram stories. At that gathering, a birthday table was set with a two-tiered white cake and seaweed soup. As the performance drew to a close, Jimin, who usually exits at the very back of the line, stopped Jungkook again, allowing him to greet the audience one more time even after other members had already left. The scene captured Jimin's consideration for Jungkook. Jungkook finished his stage greetings by making a heart shape with both arms.

Jungkook also celebrated his birthday with fans during a Weverse live broadcast that day. He expressed gratitude to his parents, who brought him into the world and supported him in living happily. He also revealed plans to build a filming team for his own video projects in the future. Jin shared small updates, including that he had gifted Jungkook a PlayStation upon arriving in the United States. He also mentioned his intention to catch up on movies he hasn't seen yet, such as "The Odyssey" and the new "Spider-Man."

During the broadcast, Jungkook pulled out numerous bottles of pills from a large black bag, explaining one by one: "This is morning vitamins, this is a sleep aid, this is medicine for when I catch a cold." Fans found it amusing, joking, "Is that a mobile pharmacy?" At that moment, Jungkook told fans, "Please just think of me as a fun friend," to which fans responded with affectionate reactions like, "We already do, no need to say that again." Earlier, on August 31st, he had also shared a cover video of Justin Bieber's "Life Time" with fans via Weverse as a birthday gift.

The wave of congratulations from fans worldwide was equally intense. Digital billboards celebrating his birthday were displayed in Seoul, New York Times Square, Los Angeles, and 11 cities across China. Mobile LED truck advertisements also appeared near SoFi Stadium. Outdoor billboard advertisements organized by fan clubs took place in Hungary, Kazakhstan, India, Japan, and other countries. In Korea and several other nations, birthday commemorative cafe events and exhibitions have continued from late August into early this month. Meanwhile, BTS will continue their sold-out four-day concert series at SoFi Stadium on the 2nd, 5th, and 6th.
