On this day, all BTS members returned to South кσяєα after spending a month working on their upcoming spring album at the group’s songwriting camp in the U.S. The members are currently focusing on resting, attending private schedules, and spending time with fans on social media.
Among them, the most active these days are BTS’s youngest duo, V and Jungkook. The two even hosted a fun live broadcast together, revealing that they have been keeping a routine of running together along the Han River in the evenings. They have also shared many gym moments, showcasing their endless pαѕѕion for working out.
In addition to being seen at the gym or the Han River, V and Jungkook were spotted at an important event — the wedding of artist Kim Jong Kook, which was reported to have taken place on September 5 at a luxurious venue in Seoul.
According to Sports Seoul about six hours ago, the wedding was held, and several celebrities were seen at the reception, including BTS members. “Celebrities Yoo Jaesuk and Ji Sukjin were the first to arrive. Then BTS V and Jungkook arrived together…,” one notable excerpt from the article read.
Since the ceremony was held in a private and intimate setting, there are almost no images of the guests or the bride and groom shared on social media. “As previously reported, the wedding was small, with only close family and friends invited,” and most of them were acquaintances Kim Jong Kook met through shows such as SBS’s Running Man.
As for the relationship between Kim Jong Kook, V, and Jungkook, it can be said that they are quite close — likely stemming from Running Man and further strengthened by their shared interest in fitness. It is believed that BTS’s current fitness trainer was introduced to them by Kim Jong Kook.
In an episode of Knowing Brothers, trainer Ma Sunho once revealed his closeness with V and Kim Jong Kook, saying that they visited V during his military service. In another vlog by Kim Jong Kook, he shared a video call between him and Ma Sunho, where he warmly inquired about the BTS members’ workout routines.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that V and Jungkook were invited to attend the singer’s wedding!
Earlier, Kim Jong Kook had announced his marriage in the Running Man episode that aired on August 31. He also posted on his fan cafe about this important decision in his life: “I’m getting married. Actually, I did drop a few hints little by little, but I’m sure many of you still feel this is quite sudden...I hope you will congratulate me and cheer me on. It’s very late, but how fortunate it is that I get to take this step. I’ll live well... I will continue to work hard and live diligently as Kim Jong Kook.”
