On March 1, 2025, BTS' j-hope addressed a minor technical problem during the second day of his Seoul concert at KSPO Dome. He noticed an issue with his in-ear monitors while rehearsing in front of a VIP audience during soundcheck.
Dressed in black t-shirt, loose jeans and his tour merch cap, j-hope ran through his setlist, ensuring that everything sounded perfect before the main concert began. While testing the audio, he came across an issue with his in-ear monitors. He asked the staff to lower the instrument volume, mentioning that he had already informed about the same a day before.
As translated by an X user @j94shope, he said:
“Yesterday, the instrument sound was coming through my in-ear monitors. I mentioned it yesterday too, please lower the volume just a little. Things that need to be addressed, should be addressed properly."
