Worldwide Handsome has to be sleep by midnight, and Worldwide Cutie ARMY here should also sleep before midnight, Okay?? Please Get home safely, Have a good night!”
Jungkook on the same night talked about feeling “great” about the tour beginning. He thanked fans for creating good memories. He concluded saying:
“I’m very happy thanks to all of you, and with the energy you’ve given me, I’ll complete the rest of this tour in the best way. I’ll remember this day for a long time. I’ll definitely come back. I love you and thank you!!”
