Released in 2018, Magic Shop is the seventh track from their second studio album, Love Yourself: Tear, and holds a special place among fans. It draws people into a place of comfort and calm, where members are always present for ARMYs, attempting to alleviate their agony and bring solace in the fictitious world of the magic shop.
Generally, Jungkook used to perform Magic Shop with the group members, including Kim Namjoon, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and Kim Tae-hyung.
However, watching him perform it alone during his GOLDEN Live on-stage performance overwhelmed fans with mixed emotions. The idol also expressed how the fans at the concert filled the void of the other six members who were not with him at the GOLDEN Live on-stage concert:
The Seven of us always sang it (Magic Shop) together and I wondered what it would be like to sing it alone. But you filled the empty space of the 6 members.”
The event began with Jungkook and the ARMYs harmonizing with one another. While Jungkook covered his portions of the song, he allowed other members’ parts to play, making fans more emotional while connecting with them, giggling and waving at him. He also harmonized with Jimin and Kim Tae-hyung’s part, making the atmosphere more serene and beautiful.
