Mingyu Shares His Sad Feeling When He Couldn't Return In Time To See Jungkook Off

People often say that the artist world is a complex world and it is difficult to have trust or close connections. But the friendship of Jungkook and Mingyu - top Kpop stars - has proven that stereotype wrong.

These days, fans can't help but admire the close friendship the two have for each other, especially before Jungkook enlisted in the army. Not only did he adjust his schedule so he could have a farewell party with Jungkook before he entered the army, but Mingyu even tried to come back early to see Jungkook off.

However, the plan did not go as expected and Mingyu expressed his regret when he could not come see Jungkook off on December 12:

One of the 97-liner friendships most loved by fans is the friendship between SEVENTEEN's Mingyu and BTS's Jungkook. Whenever the couple does anything together, it seems to go viral. From videos doing dance challenges on Tiktok to photos of them eating together, fans love these two celebrities' moments.

They are both the same age, but with BTS's plan, Jungkook decided to enlist early so he can reunite with fans in 2025. And so, Mingyu became the one to see Jungkook off to enlist this year. But it could not be happened due to the time coincides with SEVENTEEN's concert schedule in jäṗäń.

In the days before Jungkook became a rookie, Mingyu was already abroad with SEVENTEEN for a schedule and of course they were both mentally prepared that he wouldn't be able to see Jungkook off to enlist. However, it seems like Mingyu tried very hard to have the opportunity to do that. But in the end, he still couldn't return in time for Jungkook to enter the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ camp.

So, in a photo shared around the time of Jungkook's rookie welcome ceremony, Mingyu shared a photo that clearly showed how tired and sad he looked while on the plane returning to кσяєα. Perhaps, he also felt regretful that he couldn't come see Jungkook one last time before separating for a while. If SEVENTEEN's schedule ended earlier, he could have been at Yeoncheon Training Center.

However, fans still admire Jungkook and Mingyu's close friendship when learning how emotional the two had a farewell party a few days before. Fans realized that Mingyu took advantage of the little time he had to fly back and forth between кσяєα and jäṗäń during the time SEVENTEEN held their concert in jäṗäń.

He adjusted his schedule to stay and drink with Jungkook before his enlistment. Jungkook also mentioned in a live broadcast on Weverse to fans that: "Have you asked Mingyu out on a date recently? Mingyu… Yes, I do ask him to hang out with me quite often. But he’s out of the country right now. When we hung out recently, though, we said our bye-byes. We had some goodbye drinks."

Even when they don't flaunt their friendship or act well towards each other, fans still go crazy when they find out what they've been secretly doing. Jungkook and Mingyu's friendship is truly precious:
