Fans were waiting for Jungkook with phones and banners in hand as he made his way into the crowded Today Plaza, which was aglow with lights.
Jungkook donned a glittery all-black ensemble from head to toe, making him stand out even more. As he took the stage, fans observed how he was shivering and continuously rubbing his hands to keep himself warm. He even wore a jacket over his black suit to withstand the cold of New York City.
As he entered the open stage, he reached out to touch the fans' hands, and despite their initial shock, they couldn't contain their excitement and screamed with joy.
However, his shivering didn't dampen his spirit, and fans could feel how excited he was. Several videos captured moments of him bumping fists with ARMYs who were just a few inches away from the stage. Some fans even uploaded these moments on social media. He didn't stop bumping fists with just one fan and continued to do that with numerous fans in the front row.

During the Citi Concert, soundcheck fans playfully imitated barking like dogs, to which the idol reacted with humor and laughter. Fans were also singing along with him during soundcheck.
The golden maknae's concert is set to begin in just over two hours from the time of writing. Jungkook recently released his debut album, GOLDEN, on November 3, 2023.
