Did You Know BTS Was All Set To Perform In Qatar But Couldn’t Due To Jungkook’s Military Service?
In a recent interview, Qatar Tourism Chairman shared his regret about failing to bring Jungkook to Qatar last year due to his military duties.
Jungkook of BTS delivered a solid performance at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Qatar. From his bandmates to his fans, everyone was all praises about his performance. After his solo performance, BTS was also scheduled to perform in Qatar, but Jungkook’s mandatory military service prevented it. This news disappointed many fans who were excited to see the group perform together in Qatar.
In a conversation with The Korea Times, the Qatar Tourism Chairman, Saad Bin Ali Al-Kharji, shared his regret about failing to bring Jungkook to Qatar last year due to his military duties. He expressed a strong desire to see Jungkook perform and stated how the singer’s presence could entertain audiences. The Qatar Tourism Chairman, Saad Bin Ali Al-Kharji, further added that Korean culture plays a big role in making Qatar a welcoming destination for families. The country hosts concerts, exhibitions, and festivals weekly, and a BTS performance would have been a major highlight.

Whereas the rest of the members, Suga, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook, will return in June. The excitement is higher than ever, and fans are counting days!
