On April 8, ahead of BTS' eagerly awaited PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LAS VEGAS concert, BigHit Music announced that Jin will only be participating in the concerts partially, owing to an injured index finger, leaving fans of the K-pop group heartbroken.

According to the announcement, the idol is still recovering from the index finger injury and subsequent surgery.

On March 19, the agency had announced the eldest BTS member's injury, which was sustained during his daily activities. According to the agency,

“He consulted doctors and was told he required surgery as the tendons in the finger had been partially damaged. He underwent surgery to repair the extensor in his left index finger on the afternoon of Friday, March 18.”

While the surgery was successful, and the BTS member even attended the 2022 Grammy Awards, albeit with a cast on his left hand, it appears that the injury has flared up once again, forcing the idol to take a step back.

Jin will take part in BTS' PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS concerts in a limited capacity

On April 8, which is day one of the PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS concerts, BigHit Music released another official statement, updating fans on the idol's condition.

The statement says,

"We would like to provide you with information regarding BTS member Jin’s performance during the “BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS” concerts scheduled on April 8, 9, 15 and 16 (PT)."

They continue,

"As we informed you on March 19 (KST), Jin had injured his left index finger as the tendons in the finger had been partially damaged and underwent surgery to repair the extensor in the finger. The doctor suggested that Jin should refrain from vigorous movement as any excessive moments or impact on his finger while he is still recovering from the injury may force him to undergo another surgery."

The agency stated that while the Super Tuna singer wanted to wholeheartedly perform, doctors thought otherwise.

They added,

"While the artist himself strongly wished to fully participate, our agency has decided to follow the physician’s advice and minimize his movements during the “BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS” concerts on all the above mentioned dates. As a result, Jin’s choreography and stage performances will be limited to a certain extent. We ask for the understanding and support from all our fans."

While the news of Jin's limited participation left many fans disappointed, the health of the idol is of prime importance. Several ARMY members took to social media to wish the idol a quick recovery. Many others placated the idol, insisting that his presence is good enough, regardless of how much he performs.

Meanwhile, the septet is all set to kick off day 1 of the PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS concerts. The group will go on to perform on April 9, 15, and 16, to a packed auditorium.
