BTS member turned solo star Jungkook played a surprise concert in New York City's Times Square on Thursday.

The South Korean singer took to the stage at TSX Entertainment in the heart of the landmark Manhattan intersection to celebrate songs from his debut studio album, Golden.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, fans were only told about the performance 30 minutes beforehand - but still flocked to see him sing.

The BTS star performed his hit singles Standing Next to You, 3D, and Seven, as well as album tracks Yes or No, and Please Don't Change.

"This place is amazing. It's an honour to perform in New York's Times Square," Jungkook said while addressing the crowd. "The view is incredible."

Despite the short notice, the show was also livestreamed online, gaining 280,000 viewers via the BTS' official YouTube channel and through Xbox's Twitch channel.
