Prior to his performance at Times Square, fans had noticed quite a few changes in the area including one advert featuring Jungkook playing on a loop. There were multiple clips that showed Jungkook's Calvin Klein billboard advertisement playing on a loop, all hinting towards something big coming. The newly constructed TSX stage is the most noticeable spot next to Times Square. It is located in the heart of Times Square and has a spectacular 18,000-square-foot billboard display as its backdrop.
