They also celebrate the special guest appearance by Wendy of Red Velvet, the emotional encore of "Epiphany" and "Moon," and the heartwarming sight of his BTS brothers (including a matching Suga and Jimin!) cheering him on. It’s an episode brimming with fan joy, detailed analysis, and a testament to ARMY dedication!
