With only hints of the date and New York, fans were left curious about where and when the event would take place.

A large screen was set up so that countless fans could see Jungkook. Jungkook delivered perfect live performances of his songs ‘Yes or No,’ ‘SEVEN,’ ‘3D,’ among others. The live performance was flawless, unaffected by the intense choreography.
Jungkook confidently and casually performed five songs live, receiving huge cheers from American fans.
In response to the chorus of American ARMYs chanting, Jungkook expressed his happiness, shouting, “New York, you’re crazy!”
