BTS's Jungkook surpassed 800,000 mentions on Twitter and topped global Google Trends search rankings immediately following the halftime show of the '2026 FIFA North American World Cup' final match on the 20th (Korean time).

During the halftime show, Jungkook performed the intro to the song "Dynamite." Due to the program's structure featuring multiple team performances in succession, his act overlapped with the preceding Viking Rowing performance. Consequently, he began his stage without the Jeonju segment.

Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen, the international humanitarian organization responsible for producing the halftime show, was captured on camera raising both hands and cheering as Jungkook's opening lines echoed through the stadium. Jungkook kicked off his performance by singing the intro: "Cos ah ah I'm in the stars tonight."

Following the performance, videos related to Jungkook's live vocals and stage etiquette spread across social media (SNS). Fans responded with comments such as, "His powerful high notes that fill the stadium are chilling," and "It's amazing how he maintains his composure performing live on such a large stage watched by so many."

Jungkook altered the original lyric "kick the drum" to "kick the ball" to match the atmosphere of the final match. On Google Trends in the United States, BTS appeared as a group in the search rankings, while Jungkook rose to the top of real-time trends alongside Shakira and Justin Bieber. He was the only member listed under his individual name.
