BTS Jhope recently set the stage on fire with his electrifying performance at Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes on January 23, 2025 (January 24 KST). Held at the Paris La Défense Arena, the event was organized by French First Lady Brigitte Macron to support pediatric hospitals in France. Jhope's setlist featured high-energy performances of MIC Drop (orchestra version), MORE and On the Street (solo version). However, it was the MIC Drop performance that left ARMYs buzzing with excitement.
Days after the event, BTS fans, known as ARMYs, are still raving about one unforgettable moment—when J-Hope performed MIC Drop solo, and the crowd erupted with the loudest ever fan chant. Despite only one member being on stage, fans passionately chanted the full BTS name sequence:
"Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Ho Seok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS!"

This powerful moment was a testament to the unwavering love and support BTS continues to receive. Even though the group is currently on hiatus, ARMYs proved that their loyalty remains strong. Many fans pointed out that online speculation about BTS fading away has been completely debunked by this moment, as one ARMY put it, "Bangtan is here to stay and slay!"
Another highlight of the night was ARMYs passionately singing along to Suga’s iconic verse in MIC Drop, especially the line "Mianhae eomma" (Sorry, Mom). Fans noted how significant it was that Jhope included this part, despite performing solo. Many believe it was a deliberate statement—BTS is not going anywhere.
That “mianhae eomma” was the most powerful thing ever. Yoongi would be proud. 🥹

Jhope himself acknowledged this special moment by sharing a clip of the performance on his Instagram story while sending Seollal 2025 wishes. This further cemented the bond between BTS members and their fans. One ARMY summed it up perfectly: "This sequence speaks volumes. He could have easily skipped Suga’s verse, but he didn’t. BTS is back, and they are here to stay and slay!"

The overwhelming response to Jhope’s performance and the deafening fan chant shows how eagerly ARMYs are waiting for BTS to reunite as a full group. The moment also echoed RM’s lyrics from their 2021 hit Butter: "ARMYs right behind us when we say so." If this performance proved anything, it’s that BTS and ARMYs remain stronger than ever, and the world is ready for their grand return.
