He stated, as translated by an X account @btsmemeories:
"Actually, I used too much energy on the first day. But when I woke up this morning, my body hurt so much. I had a lot of muscle pain here. So I thought, "I'm in trouble today." But who am I, everyone? When I go on stage, I'm a professional."
He went on to say that no matter what his health condition is, on stage, he will be the j-hope that everyone wants to see.
Fans took to the internet to express their love and admiration for the BTS member and his dedication to performing. One fan remarked that the singer inspires them a lot.
"This man inspires me so much. i love you."

"literally fall in love every time I realize how passionate tannies are towards their work and us, it's beyond everything. He really really deserves all the fame and love. Guys whoever will attend the next ones please make sure you'll give him the best love ever. We're so loved," remarked another fan on X.
"I love that my favorite artists' flex is they are utterly and undeniably professional stage performers. / Even when they aren't in the best physical condition, they make sure we get their the moment they step onstage, if not more!" exclaimed a fan.
"Honestly 2mos to his tour and you don't see a noticeable change in him. I'm constantly amazed because he's dancing and singing and rapping.. his voice didn't change, he's not out of breath. I've always thought Hobi is the king of pacing himself. He's really amazing. I love him," react another fan.
More reactions on X praised the singer, where one remarked that BTS members are never lazy on stage whereas another said:
"His version of normal isn't normal for most! That's why people take him for granted because he's making it look too easy, normal.. That's why non-hobi biased fans are too brave to shun him. They think their biases are equal to him. But hoseokies know better!" wrote a fan on X.
"That's my BTS. They never be lazy on stage," said another fan.
"always the professional. when bangtan said they would work hard to become an artist you're not embarrassed to be a fan of, they really meant it," added another fan on X.
