Jungkook surprised fans late last year when he appeared on a Weverse Live broadcast. He brought back his iconic mini concert at home and chatted with fans for a few hours.
However, after the broadcast that day, fans had to come back to reality as Jungkook is currently serving in the South кσяєαn military. Although he is still about 6 months away from being discharged, fans have been counting down the days until his return and hoping for a lucky chance to run into him.
Some anecdotes from fans who have α¢¢ι∂єитally run into Jungkook in υиєχρє¢тє∂ places have become re-read stories these days, including:
1. Fan Meets Jungkook at a Restaurant
The luckiest fan on earth happened to meet Jungkook while he was dining at a restaurant. The original poster (OP) shared that there were three tables in the restaurant: one for her and her friends, one for a 40s mother with her son, and one for Jungkook. OP and her friends initially pretended not to notice Jungkook because they wanted to respect his privacy.
The older fan asked the restaurant owner to ask if he could give her an autograph since she was a fan of his. Jungkook happily agreed! Surprisingly, the restaurant owner realized that OP's table was also full of ARMYs, so he suggested Jungkook pay attention to them. Jungkook then went to OP and her friends' table, asked their names, and signed their autographs.
While younger fans felt guilty for asking for autographs while he was on vacation, Jungkook was comfortable shaking hands with older fans and even offered to shake their hands with them before leaving the restaurant. The lucky young fans became extremely crazy about him!
2. Fans Excited to Spot Jungkook on the Street
During BTS's guest appearance on Cultwo Show, a fan sent a message that read, “As I met with my friend and were about to go drink, I saw Jungkook.” This fan got excited from seeing Jungkook and shared, “I drank until I couldn’t tell if I was drunk or if the drink had drank me.”
When Jungkook received this message, he remembered that happened when he went to Hongdae. The BTS maknae shared that he went there to gather his thoughts. While in Hongdae, Jungkook saw some people covering BTS's songs and he decided to go to the show. Not only that, he almost joined the performers and he laughed as he recalled the memory.
3. YouTuber YAN meets Jungkook
Well, celebrities can't deny Jungkook's charm and YouTuber YAN is no exception. The кσяєαn YouTuber celebrated the anniversary of meeting Jungkook on his Instagram with a photo with him.
YAN shared that he went out drinking with some old friends, not expecting that the gathering would take him to a surprising turn. After drinking for a while, YAN went to look for a restroom but unfortunately, there was no restroom where they were sitting, so he had to go outside to look for one.
“I was wondering who it was under that hat,” he wrote in the caption. Little did YouTuber YAN know that his "journey" to find a restroom would lead him to Jungkook. YAN had nothing but praise for the male idol's personality: “BTS’s Jungkook. I feel like he’s one of the most modest world-clαѕѕ stars in the world…”
4. A fanboy tries to avoid Jungkook but his action surprises him
OP in the story is a lucky fanboy who met Jungkook after the group's concert at MetLife. This ARMY bought a ticket and flew to New York to attend the concert. But after that, he didn't fly home immediately, but took time to hang out in New York the next day.
OP decided to stop by the Balenciaga store to buy some items for himself. While looking for items and going to the corner of the store, OP was surprised to see Jungkook also in the store with the protection of some bodyguards around.
When he saw Jungkook, he seemed to go crazy with joy but in the end he decided not to disturb the superstar's day off by avoiding him. OP went through other aisles to shop like a normal customer but when he was taking items from the shelf, Jungkook came and tapped the fanboy on the shoulder.
He recounted that he was ѕнσ¢кed because he purposely went to other corners and didn't stare at Jungkook to avoid disturbing and attracting attention. But Jungkook recognized the wristband from the previous concert night, he even asked, "Did you enjoy the concert?". Of course, with much excitement, the lucky fanboy told Jungkook that the concert was amazing and that Euphoria was his favorite show. Jungkook was happy to hear those words and politely thanked him for his compliment.
