This morning, Jungkook was at Incheon airport to travel for his overseas schedule. Right at the moment Jungkook arrived at the airport, much news about his schedule was provided by kσrєαn media.
In particular, Newsen reported that Jungkook will attend the upcoming event - 2023 VMAs. This surprised many fans and mixed them with doubts about the authenticity of this news.
Some fans quickly reαssured other fans and expressed that it was possible that the news Newsen provided was false. The reason is given below:
As we all know, an idol attending an event or performing at an event requires support from fans. Not only that, any fan wants to see a performance from their idol.
Therefore, in order to be present promptly at participating idol events, fans will have to catch information from the press to know their schedules. For ARMYs, Newsen and Distpach are the two leading news sources about BTS members' schedules and the accuracy of these two sources is also very high.
This morning, when Jungkook was at Incheon airport for his overseas schedule, Newsen pointed out that he would be flying to the US to attend the VMAs on September 13.
This made fans extremely surprised and alarmed because this award ceremony or other media units had not previously shared any information regarding whether or not Jungkook appeared.
Previously, the organizers of the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards only wrote in their announcement when Seven won the nomination for this award ceremony. They wrote: "Congratulations, Jung Kook! 'Seven' is nominated for “Song of the Summer” at #VMA 2023." This nomination is said to be a recognition of the song's huge impact on the music industry during the summer months of this year, but there is no mention of whether Jungkook will perform at the awards ceremony or not.
Based on that, many fans began to worry that Jungkook would perform at the awards ceremony and they quickly looked for tickets for this event to come cheer for Jungkook. But soon after, many other fans reαssured their colleagues that the news Newsen gave was probably incorrect because the VMAs had not had any news about Jungkook's performance for many months.
Next, they also pointed out that Dispatch did not claim that Jungkook came to äṃệŕïċä for his schedule at the VMAs. Even at the airport, some Dispatch reporters said that he traveled to the US for a Calvin Klein fashion event and that's why he wore the brand's outfit at the airport today.
So many people concluded that it was all just media speculation and it was impossible to even grasp whether he attended the awards ceremony or not, even whether he performed there:
- i'm getting increasingly concerned of the possibility that they might have given wrong information and i'm taking part in spreading it
- Bro whoevers taking the chance, let them buy and go. If jk does end up going, he'll have his ppl cheering for him!!
- It's so sus if jk is performing why didn't VMAs didn't release any official announcement. They could have used jk for a month for promo.
- Newsen is making clickbait, if VMAs has Jungkook, they must shout out for him
- I don't think They have a source
- does jungkook know this???
- Army: OMG jungkook is going to attend and perform seven on VMAs! MEANWHILE JUNGKOOK: zzzzzzzzzzzz
- But like hold on , if he was attending we would’ve been informed already cuz vmas is literally around the corner
