“Idol of idols for a reason”- Fans react as KCON LA 2024 turns into a BTS' Jungkook concert as K-pop idols perform songs like Seven, 3D, & more

BTS’ Jungkook took over KCON LA 2024, with multiple K-pop idols performing his songs from the solo album GOLDEN including Seven, 3D, and more. At the same time, the BTS vocalist is currently serving in the military and therefore was not present at the music festival. However, Jungkook's presence at KCON LA 2024 was notable without being included in the official line-up as K-pop groups like ZEROBASEONE, TWS, and more.

The BTS member made his solo debut last year, with the song Seven taking over many international music charts. It received appreciation from South Korean audiences as well. At the KCON LA 2024, PLEDIS boy group TWS members Shinyu, Dohoon, and Jihoon gave a full-fledged performance of the alternative version of 3D.

ZEROBASEONE members also showcased their moves to Jungkook's songs during the “Drop the Dance Connecting Stage”. Jiwoong danced to Seven while Gunwook showed his moves on Standing Next to You. Talking about Jungkook’s impact on the K-pop industry a fan stated —
