Mumbai Glows Gold: Jungkook Landmark Exhibition Concludes with Record Success

New Delhi, january 13, 2026: The curtains have officially closed on “GOLDEN: The Moments,” the first-ever solo exhibition by BTS sensation Jung Kook in India. Hosted at the iconic Mehboob Studios in Bandra, the month-long event wrapped up on January 11, 2026, leaving the Indian “BTS ARMY” in high spirits and cementing India’s position as a major hub for global K-pop culture.

A Journey Through the “Golden” Era

The exhibition was an immersive deep-dive into the creation of Jung Kook’s record-breaking debut solo album, GOLDEN. Fans were treated to a meticulously curated multi-zone experience that traced his evolution from the “Golden Maknae” of BTS to a global pop powerhouse.

Key highlights of the exhibit included:

• The Theater & Shine Cinema: Large-scale screenings of hit music videos like “Seven,” “3D,” and “Standing Next to You.”
• Costume Displays: The actual outfits worn by Jung Kook during his historic solo performances and music video shoots.
• The STEM Station: A fan-favorite interactive zone where visitors could isolate audio tracks—drums, bass, and vocals—from the song “Hate You,” showcasing the artist’s vocal precision.
• The Archive: A collection of prestigious awards, Billboard plaques, and personal items like his microphones and in-ear monitors.

By the Numbers: Gen Z Leads the Way

Organizers reported an overwhelming response, with Gen Z making up over 50% of the total footfall. Proving the exhibition’s “must-see” status, nearly 22% of attendees returned for a second visit to soak in the atmosphere.

Merchandise sales also shattered local records. Fans queued for hours to grab exclusive Mumbai-edition collectibles, including photo cards, official necklaces, and caps. Despite some early controversy regarding influencer access during the preview night, the public sentiment remained overwhelmingly positive as thousands of fans traveled from across India to witness this “golden” milestone.

A New Chapter for HYBE in India

The success of GOLDEN: The Moments isn’t just a win for Jung Kook; it marks a strategic triumph for HYBE India. The exhibition served as the official launchpad for the label’s expanded presence in the country.

“India represents one of the most dynamic music markets in the world,” a HYBE spokesperson stated. “This exhibition is the first of many bridges we aim to build between our artists and Indian fans.”

As the exhibition concluded, the final room—the Substance Room—was covered in thousands of heartfelt sticky notes left by fans. For many, these messages weren’t just a “goodbye” to the exhibit, but a “see you soon,” as rumors of a full BTS 2026 World Tour stop in India continue to gain momentum following the group’s upcoming reunion.
