ARMYs are probably too familiar with the friendship of actors Yeo Jin Goo and Jungkook because they always give each other enthusiastic support in projects. Besides, whenever Jungkook and Yeo Jin Goo mention each other, they give each other praise and encouragement.
Recently, in an interview with Herald Pop, the actor shared about how the two became friends. Perhaps ARMYs are also curious about how they started their friendship.
Hear their stories below:
Jungkook and Yeo Jin Goo's friendship seems to be very private as they have been friends for so many years, but when seen, the two often show support for each other by sending coffee trucks to the other's workplace. ARMYs were surprised by this special friendship.
In 2019, Jungkook sent a coffee and snack truck to the set of Yeo Jin Goo and IU's drama Hotel del Luna starring IU to cheer up his friend. A few months later, when BTS was holding a "Muster" fan meeting in Busan, Yeo Jin Goo also sent a similar truck to support Jungkook's event.
Those are the rare times that the two interact with each other on social networks when sending thanks to their friends. Fortunately, in a recent interview, Yeo Jin Goo opened up more openly about their friendship, which they have mostly kept secret so far.
Yeo Jin Goo said that the first time that Jungkook and he met was quite unexpected. They both showed up at a mutual friend's house, but neither of them knew this before. Yeo Jin Goo revealed that he had a friend who played soccer with this friend for a while, so then the friend called the two because they were the same age, so they played well.
The actor added that it's surprising that there aren't many people born in 1997 in the entertainment industry. At that time, he had no idol friends of the same age and Jungkook had no actor friends of the same age. So the two happily get to know each other and gradually develop their friendship.
Previously, Jungkook also shared that he doesn't have many friends in the entertainment industry and it seems that friendship in the industry is something they are always looking for. Fortunately, Jungkook found an actor friend while Yeo Jin Goo had an idol friend.
In addition, Yeo Jin Goo also talked about the reason that the two rarely talk about each other despite always maintaining a good friendship. That's because he's become more conscious about their friendship publicly since Jungkook became a global celebrity. But in real life, they're still good friends who hang out together and support each other's success.
Specifically, he shared that: "Jungkook was already a superstar at the time [we became friends]. But he has grown even more successful now, so I get cautious to talk about our friendship. But he is still a friend with whom I’m just so happy to hang around and who I always cheer for."
ARMYs and Jin Goo's fans are happy to know that Jungkook has a truly supportive and loving friend like Yeo and wish them both the best!
