The internet is having a meltdown after pop star Justin Bieber shared a video of BTS member Jungkook showing his abs during a concert. Bieber, who has 286 million followers on Instagram, reposted the clip on his profile. This move has shocked fans because Bieber rarely reposts content from other artists. The video shows Jungkook’s toned physique during BTS’s final North American show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The moment happened on September 6 during BTS’s Arirang World Tour concert. J-Hope, another BTS member, walked over to Jungkook and pulled his jacket open. This revealed Jungkook’s well-defined abs and full-sleeve tattoo. The crowd went wild as Jungkook’s bare torso flashed across the giant LED screens at the stadium. Jungkook looked surprised but laughed it off, asking the crowd, “Oh my God… Guys, today is so special, right?”
The clip spread quickly on social media. Music magazine Billboard also posted the video on their official Instagram account. That is where Justin Bieber apparently saw it. On September 7, Bieber reposted Billboard’s video on his own Instagram profile. He did not add any caption or comment. He just shared the video with his hundreds of millions of followers.
Why This Repost Is a Big Deal
Justin Bieber does not repost content often. Fans quickly pointed out that he has only reposted eight posts on Instagram in his entire career. Five of those were from his own account. This means Jungkook’s ab-flashing moment is one of only three times Bieber has ever reposted someone else’s content. That fact made the repost even more shocking to fans.
One fan wrote on social media: “Like I actually had to check because this is just baffling to me as to why he would repost that but he actually DID!? And he doesn’t have that much reposts either… this is freaking me out ngl but whatever”. Another fan simply said: “HELP, why is justin bieber reposting shirtless jungkook?”
Many fans found the situation funny. Some pointed out that Bieber also saw J-Hope’s surprised reaction in the video. One netizen commented: “想到小賈斯汀連J-Hope的反應都一起看了，就更好笑了！” which means “It’s even funnier to think that Justin Bieber watched J-Hope’s reaction too!”
Jungkook Reacts to Bieber’s Repost
Jungkook, who is known to be a big fan of Justin Bieber, noticed the repost quickly. He shared a screenshot of Bieber’s repost on his own Instagram Stories. His only caption was a question mark: “?!”. This simple reaction showed that even Jungkook was surprised by the gesture.
Fans found this reaction adorable. One person commented: “Jungkook finally won his fanboy side”. Another wrote: “Even JB can’t resist from JK abs”. Some fans started hoping for a collaboration between the two artists. Comments like “All these interactions but no collab? When guys??” and “I hope they can collaborate” appeared across social media.
The Connection Between Justin Bieber and Jungkook
This is not the first time these two stars have crossed paths. Jungkook has always been open about his admiration for Justin Bieber. He has covered many of Bieber’s songs over the years, including “Changes,” “Purpose,” “Nothing Like Us,” “2U,” “10,000 Hours,” and “Peaches”. Just a few days before the concert, Jungkook shared a cover of Bieber’s song “Lifetime” on Weverse to celebrate his 29th birthday.
Justin Bieber has also shown support for BTS in the past. In 2019, he publicly wished Jungkook a happy birthday. In 2020, he called BTS members “my boys” and shared a video of BTS fan chants on Instagram. The two artists also performed together at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Halftime Show on July 19. They co-headlined the event along with Shakira and Madonna.
BTS Wraps Up North American Tour
The shirtless moment happened during BTS’s final North American show of their Arirang World Tour. The group performed four nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The shows drew about 282,000 attendees. Across the entire North American leg, the tour attracted an estimated 1.92 million fans.
The group is now taking a three-week break before heading to South America in October. They have 14 shows scheduled across five stops, including Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, La Plata, and São Paulo. After that, they will perform in Asia and continue through next year with dates in Australia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
What Makes This Moment Special
Bieber’s repost has extra meaning because of how rare it is. His Instagram account has 286 million followers, yet he rarely shares content from others. The fact that he chose Jungkook’s video shows the global impact of BTS and its members.
The clip also shows the playful bond between BTS members. J-Hope’s surprise move and Jungkook’s flustered reaction made the moment fun and authentic. Fans loved seeing the members interact naturally on stage.
Korean netizens also reacted strongly. Comments on Korean platforms included: “From Justin Bieber?? Daebak,” “Jungkook became a successful fan,” and “This is worth reposting. He’s seriously so hot”. Others wrote: “Jungkookie is so hot” and “This is one of the only 8 reposts from Bieber? He probably found him hot too”.
The video has received more than 9 million views and over 10,000 comments on Instagram. Jungkook’s name also trended at number one on X (formerly Twitter) in the United States.

Many fans simply enjoyed the moment without overthinking it. One person wrote: “I CANT BLAME HIM”. Another commented: “This is one of the 8 posts that Bieber ever reposted”. The rarity of the repost made fans feel like they witnessed something historic.
Some fans also noted that Bieber reposted the video without any words. This silence added to the mystery. Why did he share it? Was it admiration? Was it just for fun? Fans continue to speculate.
The moment has also sparked discussions about a possible collaboration. While nothing has been confirmed, the interaction has given fans hope. Given that both artists have shown mutual respect and admiration, many believe a joint project could happen someday.
