If there is ever a need to prove just how popular Jungkook and BTS have become, one only needs to point at the concerns brought up by New York police over issues regarding pitching tents. This has to do with the upcoming performance by the group in “Good Morning America,” which is set to happen on Wednesday. Authorities are basically worried that the huge number of fans could also start putting up tents, thus making a nuisance of themselves.
New York police basically have one message to those who are planning to attend the event to catch the performance of Jungkook and the rest of BTS: Don’t pitch tents. The department even put out a Tweet pleading with fans to avoid doing this for their own safety, Variety reports.
“For your safety, camping in the concrete jungle is not permitted. Please don’t pitch tents in or outside [of] Central Park,” the Tweet reads.
Since then, ARMY and anyone who wanted to see Jungkook without getting escorted by police officers have decided to put away the imposing shelters and have only gone with lawn chairs. This could be a problem for them since weather reports indicate that there will be quite a bit of rain on Wednesday. Those tents could have come in handy, but rules are rules.
On that note, the department Tweet did come with the caption “Trust us, we’re just as excited as you are.” Could this mean that there are ARMY members in the NYC police section? One can only wonder how many folks in uniform might want to line up for an autograph from Jungkook.
As for the performance by BTS and Jungkook on “GMA” itself, it’s part of the group’s efforts to expand its western popularity. There are other performers set to appear at the program, as well, but none of them are getting the same level of fandom as BTS.
