ARMYs all know that Jungkook doesn't have many close friends who are K-pop celebrities. Only GOT7's Yugeom is known to be Jungkook's closest friend since their debut in 2013-2014.
Later on, their friendship expanded to other K-pop stars born in 1997, forming the "97-line". The members of this close friend group include: BTS's Jungkook, GOT7's Yugyeom and BamBam, SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, The8 and DK, ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo and NCT's Jaehyun.
Since these idols are all celebrities with large fan bases, they receive even more attention. Their fans are always excited and thrilled whenever details related to the friendship between idols are revealed.
Recently, an anecdote about the "97-line" quartet including Jungkook, Eunwoo, Mingyu & Yugyeom was shared on SNS, quickly becoming viral. The blog owner shared the story of meeting the 4 idols at a restaurant and getting their autographs.
OP was especially generous in recounting the conversation with Jungkook at that time. He told the Golden Maknae that "I've been listening to Seven every day recently. The songs are really good" and Jungkook responded "Ah really? Thank you".
Not only that, the blogger said he can sing too, and then he started singing. Jungkook evenhummed along in the middle. The blogger also said Jungkook is a sweet boy.
Since this post was shared recently, many fans mistakenly thought that the group had gone out to eat recently and made it viral. Meanwhile, some other fans were confused and doubted the authenticity of the story because Yugeom was on his world tour in вяαzιℓ these days.
But then, OP clarified that the meeting with the idols happened in 2023, before Jungkook enlisted. OP waited until April Fools' Day this year to recap the story.
After the timeline was determined, fans focused on the strong bond of the 97-born idols and especially praised the good personality of the BTS superstar:
