Since BTS completed their military service, fans have been able to see the members more often, both in real life and on social media. While fashion week events have continuously treated ARMYs to the members’ slay-worthy appearances, the youngest members’ livestreams have given fans a sense of warmth and closeness.

On the morning of the 28th, Jungkook brightened fans’ Sunday by appearing handsome on Weverse Live and cooking breakfast with truffle mushroom rigatoni pasta and scrambled egg bread. This prompted many fans to jokingly say that he reminded them of a boyfriend—or even a husband—making breakfast.

Not only did he please fans with his visuals, but Jungkook also actively interacted with viewers throughout the livestream by sharing everyday stories. From chatting about food to revealing small changes such as removing his lip piercing after a month because it felt uncomfortable, and even talking about his latest “challenge” with V, Jungkook kept the atmosphere light and fun.

In one part of the broadcast, Jungkook suddenly mentioned his plans for the evening: “Anyway, today I’m going running. For those who wanna work out, let’s meet at the Han River.” He then added with a laugh: “No, I’m not going to tell you where I’ll be. I’m sure you’ll show up,” leaving fans ready to hunt down the Golden Maknae.

What came as an even bigger surprise, however, was that around 4:30 p.m., Jungkook suddenly posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “They are doing something here,” hinting that he had decided to head out earlier than he had mentioned to fans.

Fans quickly identified the photo’s location as Jamsugyo Bridge—a popular spot for runners. Spanning across the Han River and connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts in Seoul, the 795-meter-long bridge is a double-deck structure, with Banpo Bridge built right above it. It can even be submerged during periods of heavy rainfall.

Coincidentally, the day also marked the start of the Jamsugyo Bridge Car-Free Stroll Festival. During this event, vehicle traffic is closed off, and the bridge is transformed into a pedestrian-friendly space for residents to relax and enjoy leisurely strolls. The festival takes place every Sunday until October 26.

Along with spaces for sports and recreation, the festival also features a variety of attractions such as food trucks and outdoor dining, flea markets, photo zones, street performances (busking), wireless DJ parties (“silent DJ party”), and cultural programs (including traditional music, dance, and performances). On the opening and closing days, larger activities are also planned, such as mask festivals, sunset yoga, and sports shows.

This may explain why Jungkook thought of visiting the bridge for a run and encouraging ARMYs to join in. But it seems he couldn’t wait until the evening and decided to “catch fans off guard” a little earlier instead. Luckily, he left a heads-up through his Instagram post, giving some quick-witted fans the chance to possibly bump into him.

Meanwhile, while many ARMYs were excited about Jungkook’s spontaneous idea, others expressed concern that an overwhelming crowd of disrespectful fans might disrupt his private enjoyment of the event space. His photo is already drawing a flood of comments from fans across online communities:

- Hope he enjoys the run and no armys/ppl brother him. If you has come, please give him enough space

- He's such a cutie. I'm sure he felt guilty after lunch, which was quite high in calories, and decided to burn those calories off right away!

- I hope he didnt said that he is going to run in han river , i don't trust people. Some people will show up and bother him. I hope it doesn't happen here just like in airport

- Not giving them an exact time or location is safer. Hope that he can enjoy the festival and his own time

- This is mischievous move actually from maknae, teasing ARMY like he’s playing hide-and-seek in the middle of Seoul. Have a nice time Jungkook 

- I'm so happy about that ngl. Some people don't know how to be normal when he lets us in and shares parts of his life. I just hope he's out of there by now

- May he have a lot of fun and enjoy himself immensely, and may no crazy woman come to bother him

- Stay safe and have fun jungkookie. He’s so fun, challenging ARMY and playing hide-and-seek with us

- I can just imagine Jungkook’s playful giggle when he posted this photo to catch ARMY off guard

- Only Jungkook would think of ambushing millions of people at once. True chaotic 20s energy!

- This is such a mischievous maknae move—teasing ARMY like he’s playing hide-and-seek in the middle of Seoul

- Jungkook really said: ‘Catch me if you can!’—he’s living his twenties to the fullest, and we’re just along for the ride
