At Jin's encore fan concert, members of BTS appeared one after another, beautifully decorating the finale. Jin held "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR_ENCORE" at Incheon Munhak Stadium on October 31 and November 1, concluding the fan concert tour that started in June. He sang 18 songs for about 150 minutes, showcasing his presence as a solo artist. On this day, he made a surprise appearance not from the main stage but from the stadium track, singing his solo album's title track "Running Wild" and "I'll Be There" while running around. The opening was a production born from Jin's idea, symbolizing the concert name "Run, Seokjin," conveying a message of "running close to you" and marking the completion of his journey back to Korea after the world tour. Jin expressed, "I prepared the encore performance with the feeling of decorating the finale. I will cut the finish tape in Incheon together with ARMY. I want you to run with me until the end." New stages unique to the encore concert were also unveiled. Jin performed "The Truth Untold (feat. Steve Aoki)" while playing the piano and sang his first solo song "Awake" for the first time in about eight years, which had not been performed since the 2017 "BTS LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE III THE WINGS TOUR," filling the venue with enthusiastic cheers. The concert featured various segments to interact with fans, such as guessing words from audience gestures in "Communicate, ARMY" and guessing titles from audience singing in "Sing, ARMY." Surprise appearances by BTS members were also a major highlight of the concert. On the first day, J-HOPE and Jungkook appeared, energetically performing "Super Tuna" with Jin. On the second day, V joined the stage. J-HOPE and Jungkook said, "We came to celebrate Jin's encore fan concert. We will show you our enjoyment on stage," while V teared up, saying, "I really wanted to see this scene. Thinking of standing with all seven of us made me emotional." Each member also performed their solo songs: "Killin' It Girl (Solo Version)" (J-HOPE), "Standing Next to You" (Jungkook), and "Love Me Again" (V), with Jimin joining in on the second day for a surprise opening. Throughout both days, they performed a BTS medley leading to "IDOL," "So What," and "My Universe." Jin shared, "While preparing for this performance, I naturally united with the members after a long time. We will visit you as a group in even more wonderful forms in the future," and conveyed his sincerity, saying, "The voices of ARMY completed this performance. I will continue to believe in you until the end. I will do my best to sing while looking at ARMY until the end." During the encore stage, he boarded a hot air balloon resembling "Wootteo" (a character related to Jin's 2022 solo single "The Astronaut") and interacted with the audience while circling the stadium. Despite the stadium being larger than the concert in Goyang in June, the production reflected Jin's desire to connect more closely with fans. The audience added to the performance with enthusiastic cheers and surprise events. In "Nothing Without Your Love," colorful flashlights spread like waves, and in "Moon," fans expressed their love for Jin by holding up paper shaped like the moon. Amidst the fireworks illuminating the sky and the cheering voices, Jin and ARMY became one in spirit. At the end of the concert, the screen displayed the title "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR THE MOVIE" along with the words "DECEMBER COMING SOON," hinting at a new chapter for "Run, Seokjin" and raising audience expectations to a peak. This concert was structured as an extension of Jin's original content "Run, Seokjin," enhancing storytelling by integrating episodes of "Run, Seokjin" with VCR and stage production according to the atmosphere of each song. The concert concluded with a moving finale amidst vibrant fireworks and the audience's enthusiastic cheers.
