On September 5, 2026, a clip of BTS' Jungkook from the group's Los Angeles concerts began circulating after an X user shared a TikTok video that applied an AI editing feature to his stage video. The post included a roughly 36-second video that mixed concert shots with a demonstration of the editing process.

The video showed Jungkook performing at SoFi Stadium during BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG IN LOS ANGELES. The concerts took place on September 1, 2, 5, and 6, 2026. The clip in question was labeled as LA day 2, which corresponds to the September 2 show.
The TikTok, posted by user jesicaahlberg, shows how to use the feature on CapCut. The screen displays an "Eye Contact" option described as a free tool that automatically detects and adjusts eye direction. The edited result makes Jungkook appear to look directly at the camera even when the original concert footage did not capture that angle.

CapCut's Eye Contact feature is designed to realign a subject's gaze toward the lens. It is commonly used on talking-head videos so a speaker appears to maintain consistent eye contact with viewers.
In this case, the same function was applied to a fan-recorded concert video of BTS' Jungkook. The demonstration circulated on September 5, three days after the September 2 performance and during the same weekend as BTS's remaining Los Angeles dates.
Calling out the feature, one fan shared the TikTok video and wrote:

BTS' Jungkook shares a screenshot of Justin Bieber's repost
On September 8, 2026, Jungkook shared a screenshot of Justin Bieber's Instagram activity on his own Instagram Stories. The screenshot showed Bieber's repost of a concert clip, and Jungkook added the caption "?!" next to it.
The clip originated from the ARIRANG World Tour LA Day 4 concert. During the group's final North American date, Jungkook performed in an open dark jacket that left his torso visible. Bandmate j-hope walked over, pulled the garment farther open, and addressed the crowd with the line that the night was special.

Billboard posted the moment on Instagram. Justin Bieber then reposted that Billboard video. Jungkook's stage appearance had already circulated widely in the days after the September 6 show.
Jungkook has previously covered Bieber's song Lifetime on Weverse on August 31, and the two artists appeared together in the 2026 FIFA World Cup halftime show.
In other news, BTS will perform at iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 18.
