K-pop band BTS kicked off their much-anticipated return to Los Angeles on September 1, 2026, during which the band and the BTS army turned the sold-out ARIRANG tour at SoFi Stadium into a massive celebration for the band’s youngest member, Jungkook’s 29th birthday.
The spectacular night began with the announcement of their official grand finale wrap-up of the North American leg of their latest world tour, pulling in tens of thousands of fans for a reunion. As it was Jungkook’s 29th birthday, the band members and his army made his day extra special with high-energy, enthusiastic cheering.
The Army in the Stadium stood up as BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and V organized a surprise for Jungkook on stage. For the golden maknae, the members paused the performance, presenting Jungkook with a birthday cake and a custom crown, creating a playful vibe on the stage.
The whole arena joined in as the band members started to sing Happy Birthday, with fans cheering for the star with custom banners and slogans throughout the venue.
However, the key moment on stage was when Jungkook, after the grand celebration on stage as the youngest member, gave his t-shirt and birthday crown to a specially abled fan who was sitting in the front row. Jumping down from the stage, he removed his shirt, gave it to the lady, and even gave her the crown, instantly becoming the talk of the town.
