Meeting BTS in real life is an unthinkable thing for ARMYs. However, many ARMYs have had this lucky opportunity that makes everyone else look forward to one day being able to meet BTS by surprise.
Here is a story of one special fanboy who got this rare opportunity. And what's even more envious is that he even got to talk to Jungkook first!
Jungkook is known to be always friendly and cute when meeting ARMYs. He often shakes hands and signs autographs of ARMYs he meets by chance. Most of the time it's because ARMYs noticed and went to see him first.
But the situation in the following story is different. Even though this male ARMY tried to avoid him, Jungkook still recognized him as an ARMY and came to talk warmly.
Specifically, a lucky fanboy met Jungkook after the group's concert at MetLife. This ARMY bought a ticket and flied to New York to attend the concert. But after that, he didn't fly home immediately, but spent time resting in New York the next day and walking around the city.
OP decided to stop by the Balenciaga store to buy some items for himself. It's a very large store and is located on a busy street. The guy pushed open the door to enter naturally and there were very few customers in the store.
While searching for items and going to the corner of the store, the fanboy was lucky enough to see Jungkook looking around with some bodyguards. He immediately recognized it as his idol - the one he saw last night's performance.
Even when he went to the store he was still wearing a bracelet with the floor number from the previous concert night. When he saw Jungkook there, he seemed to have gone crazy with joy. But he decided not to disturb Jungkook's day off so he avoided him and continued shopping like a normal person.
But the special thing is that when he was about to take an item from the shelf, he felt like someone was approaching him. Suddenly, OP felt someone tap his shoulder. That OP turned around and all of a sudden it was Jungkook and the bodyguards.
He recounted that he was shocked because he purposely went to the other corners and didn't stare at Jungkook to avoid disturbing and attracting attention. But he couldn't believe that Jungkook would come and tap him on the shoulder to start their conversation.
Jungkook pointed to ARMY's wristband, then smiled and said, "Did you like the concert?". And of course, with a lot of excitement, the lucky fanboy told Jungkook that the concert was amazing and that Euphoria was his favorite performance. Jungkook was delighted to hear those words and politely thanked him for his compliment.
Last but not least, they even talked for a while (with a little help from the staff to translate) and then said goodbye. That fanboy recounted that he honestly couldn't remember the details of what he said to Jungkook because he still couldn't believe it was real. He just remembered thanking Jungkook so much and Jungkook also thanked him for coming.
That fanboy said that he was impressed by Jungkook's kindness and generosity. He also recounted that Jungkook has an extremely humble and sweet attitude and it totally shows how much he cares about interacting with ARMYs.
That lucky meeting made fanboy ARMY understand why BTS is so successful today. We even get a sense of how adorable Jungkook is when he takes the initiative to approach ARMY and say hello first.
