The conversation intensified after Jungkook revealed during the following night&#8217;s show that he had been experiencing back pain.<\/p>\n<p>During BTS&#8217; first London concert on July 6, Jin playfully jumped onto Jungkook&#8217;s back during the performance of <em>Butter<\/em>. Jungkook carried the eldest member in a piggyback while continuing to perform, drawing cheers from the audience. At one point, Jungkook briefly paused before singing his part then he adjusted Jin&#8217;s position on his back afterward and continued the performance.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the moment, both idols appeared to be enjoying themselves. They were seen smiling, laughing, and giggling as Jin swayed to the music while on Jungkook&#8217;s back before eventually climbing down. Videos of the interaction quickly spread across social media, with many fans describing it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/news-happy-jinkook-fans-react-bts-jungkook-carry-seokjin-back-butter-london-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">display of the duo&#8217;s close friendship.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>However, not everyone viewed the moment the same way. A section of the fandom raised concerns over Jungkook&#8217;s previous back issues, arguing that the piggyback should not have happened considering reportedly the singer had experienced a herniated disc in the past.<\/p>\n<p>These fans criticized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/news-this-love-will-never-onesided-fans-get-emotional-bts-jin-holds-bts-heart-army-sign-london-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jin<\/a>, saying he should have been more mindful of Jungkook&#8217;s condition and that the members, now older, should avoid similar interactions during performances. The discussion gained even more attention after BTS&#8217; second London concert on July 7.<\/p>\n<p>During the show, several concertgoers noticed Jungkook rubbing his lower back during the performance before briefly sitting down. Later, during his ending ment, the singer addressed the issue himself, explaining that that he had injured his back during the performance and admitted that the pain affected him for the remainder of the concert.<\/p>\n<p>The singer explained that he felt something suddenly &#8220;snap&#8221; in his back while performing <em>FYA<\/em> earlier in the show, saying,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was having so much fun performing. I was like \u201cLet\u2019s absolutely crush it tonight!\u201d and just went all out. Then all of a sudden, I felt something snap. I was like \u201cHuh?\u201d and that\u2019s when I realized something was wrong.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a result, he said he found it difficult to fully concentrate on the performance from that point onward. His comments immediately sparked widespread concern, with fans flooding social media with messages wishing him a speedy recovery and urging him to get sufficient rest.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, another debate emerged. Some fans connected Jungkook&#8217;s back pain to the previous day&#8217;s piggyback with Jin rather than the incident <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/he-s-nerd-fans-react-bts-jungkook-s-london-day-1-look-sparks-viral-comparisons-david-martinez-cyberpunk-edgerunners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jungkook<\/a> himself described. They argued that repeated moments of members climbing onto Jungkook&#8217;s back during concerts could have contributed to the injury and urged the group and the company to be more cautious in the future. One fan wrote,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The jjks kept saying that Jk&#8217;s back hurt cause of jin jumping on him,and that Jin&#8217;s jokes were always heavy-handed and unnatural,Now,are u all satisfied?For the first time Jungkook is complaining and showing his pain,Jk is human too not a steel man..Be fair to Jungkook for once&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"profile-card\">\n<p><span><span>The jjks kept saying that Jk&#8217;s back hurt cause of jin jumping on him,and that Jin&#8217;s jokes were always heavy-handed and unnatural,Now,are u all satisfied?For the first time Jungkook is complaining and showing his pain,Jk is human too not a steel man..Be fair to Jungkook for once<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As discussions continued online, the incident became a topic of debate within the fandom, with fans on one side urging greater caution regarding Jungkook&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"profile-card\">\n<p><span><span>It really breaks my heart seeing him in pain.

They choose Jungkook and have been using him for years like a horse, a chair, or sports equipment. Do you even understand that singing and dancing are his work, his life, and what he loves the most? A healthy back, neck, and legs are vital for a dancer. How can a grown man even think it is acceptable to suddenly jump onto someone\u2019s back right in the middle of a concert? They have turned the stage into crawling on all fours and endless clownery, and now they are also risking the health of the person who actually wants to sing and dance. Stop touching Jungkook already. He is not your horse, not your mattress, and not your sports equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the face of this backlash, others disagreed with that interpretation, pointing out that Jungkook specifically stated he felt the pain while performing <em>FYA<\/em> during the second night&#8217;s concert. Fans also circulated videos from the performance showing the exact moment Jungkook appeared to react to discomfort before rubbing his back, arguing that his own explanation aligned with what was seen on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Many also emphasized that during the piggyback on July 6, both the BTS members appeared relaxed and cheerful throughout the interaction. They noted that Jungkook willingly carried Jin, adjusted him on his back, and continued smiling and laughing until the playful moment ended. They argued that there was no indication from Jungkook himself that the piggyback had caused his injury, calling for fans to rely on Jungkook&#8217;s own explanation rather than speculation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/k-pop\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"profile-card\">\n<p><span><span>And its English writer means to scare the fandom.
