He’s got a new album that’s already spawned a No. 1 hit. So Jung Kook decided to give back to his fans with a free concert Thursday night in Times Square.
The 26-year-old BTS star delivered from the stage at Tsx Entertainment in Times Square, using the first permanent stage in the heart of the city. Jung Kook performed several songs from new album Golden. The show was announced just a few hours before the appearance, which undoubtedly helped keep the scene manageable.
A countdown to the start of the show New Year’s Eve style then saw Jung Kook emerge on the Tsx Stage surrounded by dancers.
“Let’s have fun,” he shouted, then opened with track “Standing Next to You.”
Fans who were not in New York could watch the show on the BTS YouTube channel or an Xbox Twitch livestream.

Showcasing rarely seen queer cinema from East and Southeast Asia and amplifying the voices of Asian communities in the UK
Queer East Film Festival has announced the full programme for its third edition, which runs from 18th to 29th May in London.
Following the first two successful editions, this year’s festival will bring films, audiences and filmmakers together in the cinema, while continuing to offer a chance to experience rarely-seen queer cinema from East and Southeast Asia to viewers across the UK.
At its heart, Queer East aims to amplify the voices of queer Asian communities, to challenge normative definitions of gender and sexual expression, and to introduce UK audiences to LGBTQ+ cinema that they might not otherwise get a chance to see. This year’s programme includes feature films, shorts, programmes of boundary-challenging artists’ moving image work, a Virtual Reality experience, and a TV miniseries, alongside filmmakers’ Q&As.
