BTS’ Jungkook ‘GMA’ concert canceled for thunder, lightning after fans wait in line for days

NEW YORK — After days of lining up to see BTS’ Jungkook serenade Central Park, crowds that had congregated along several blocks of Fifth Avenue had to pack it in Friday when the K-pop star’s performance was upended due to weather.

Thunder and lightning ultimately forced Jungkook, 25, to pre-record three songs as part of the “GMA Summer Concert Series,” WABC reports.

Before that though, fans — some of whom ultimately got to see the superstar perform — came prepared with blankets, hand wipes, air mattresses, books and snacks, water and portable fans to beat the heat. While portable toilets sat at the head of the line on 72nd Street, many opted for the more sanitary choices in the form of the nearby Apple Store and Starbucks.
