K-pop superstars BTS made history by becoming the first Korean artist to perform at Citi Field stadium in Queens, New York on 6 October.

And among the estimated over 40,000 fans who went to the concert, one lucky fan got the surprise of her life when J-Hope personally gave her his mini bag.

Jacqueline Montoya, 22, from New Jersey told Metro.co.uk that she has been a fan of BTS for three years and her ‘bias’ (or favorite in K-pop lingo) is J-Hope.

She and her friends camped out of the Citi Field stadium for five days just to be able to get nearest the stage.




‘My friends and I arrived at Citi Field on 1 October, five days before the concert,’ she said. ‘For camping, we took turns with it and went about our lives with school and work. My experience from the time I arrived until concert time was beyond amazing.’

Jacqueline added: ‘I’m so grateful to have been able to experience such a historic day. No words can describe the happiness I felt at the concert.’

J-Hope, also known as Hobi among fans, was carrying the red mini-bag during the concert. The mini-bag, made of cotton and PU, is an official merchandise for BTS’ Love Yourself world tour.

Towards the end of the show, J-Hope went down from the stage and approached the metal barricade and personally handed over the bag to Jacqueline. She said she didn’t know why J-Hope gave her the bag, but said that throughout the concert, she was cheering for him.

‘I did hype him up a lot throughout the concert and he noticed. He also noticed me crying towards the end of the concert, which is when he approached me to give me his bag,’ she said.

She was definitely shocked by J-Hope’s gesture, saying she was not expecting anything special to happen.

Jacqueline said it felt ‘like a dream’ when J-Hope handed her the bag

‘It felt like a dream. Never in my wildest dreams did I think something like this would happen to me. After I received the pouch, I collapsed into my friend’s arms and cried,’ the 22-year-old said.

When asked what will she do with the bag, she said: ‘Keep it and treasure it.’

Besides getting the bag, she also cited other memorable moments during the Citi Field concert.

‘Singing along to the same songs with 50k people and the speeches at the end of the concert were two of my favorite moments,’ she said.

The superfan has been been to BTS’ concerts four times.

‘So far, I have attended four concerts,’ she said. ‘Last year, I attended the Wings Tour in Newark and this year for the Love Yourself tour, I attended both Newark shows and the Citi field show.’

Jacqueline explained that she likes everything in J-Hope, saying: ‘His bright personality, his smile that seems to light up the whole world, his kind heart, his passion for dancing/rapping, his love for people, his dream. Knowing that he exists and that he is working hard, helps me exist, work hard and be more myself than ever.’



The Citi Field show was the last leg of BTS’ North American tour for Love Yourself. According to Korean media, a total of 220,000 fans attended the 15 concerts in the US and Canada.

BTS will now be starting their European tour with a two-day concert in London on 9 and 10 October at the O2 Arena.
