In the кσяєαn entertainment industry, K-pop idols do not stop at ordinary collaborative relationships but also have deep friendships that last for many years. They may rarely mention each other in front of fans or the media, but their friendship remains strong and they always care for each other.

The friendship between Jungkook and ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo is that kind! Even though they don’t share joint photos, fans know that both are part of the 97-line and often hang out together when they have time. The two idols also rarely talk about each other, but they always quietly support one another in work and in life.

While Jungkook completed his military service this June along with the other BTS members, Cha Eunwoo is reported to begin his military service on July 28 as a member of the military band, after pαѕѕing interviews and completing the selection process.

Before officially stepping away from the spotlight, he held a special fan meeting titled “THE ROYAL” on July 12 at Kyung Hee University to say goodbye to AROHA.

On the other hand, ahead of Cha Eunwoo’s enlistment, fans also noticed a new move from Jungkook. During this time, he was originally in Los Angeles with the other BTS members to prepare for the group’s album expected to be released next spring.

However, on the 26th, Jungkook was seen at the airport heading back to кσяєα. In the photo circulating on social media, the Golden Maknae wore his familiar black-toned casual outfit and was not accompanied by any bodyguards. The image sparked speculation: is he hurrying back to say goodbye to Cha Eunwoo before enlistment?

Previously, when Jungkook enlisted last year, he had shared that the ASTRO idol had given him a special watch for sol∂ιєrs along with a heartfelt letter. Now, before Eunwoo enlists, Jungkook has made an effort to return from the U.S. to see his friend off, showing the strong bond and sincerity between the two.

Some fans also hope that Cha Eunwoo and Jungkook will have a warm farewell moment, and a joyful gathering with the members of the 97-line. They have also left many comments admiring the beautiful friendship of the two celebrities on social media:
