The Real Reason Jungkook Appeared At the Airport At the Same Time As His Bestie Today

BTS returned to South кσяєα at the end of last month after wrapping up their final concert in Las Vegas, bringing the North αмєяι¢αn leg of their tour to a close. With just two weeks remaining until they take the stage in Busan for the group's 13th anniversary celebration, it appears the members are far from taking a break. Just as j-hope previously revealed, a packed schedule of individual activities has already been lined up.

Around midday on the 4th, Jungkook was spotted heading off for an individual work schedule not long after returning to кσяєα, luggage in hand. A reporter thoughtfully asked him, "Jungkook-ssi, did you get some good rest?" and received a nod in response, indicating that he had recharged his energy. The reporter also brought up a topic that has recently attracted a lot of attention: "I heard you were doing cardio with ARMYs." Jungkook looked briefly puzzled and repeated, "Cardio~??" before realizing what the reporter meant and replying, "Ah, running, running…."

What caught even more attention was that shortly after reporters and fans saw Jungkook off, another familiar face appeared at the airport — none other than SEVENTEEN's Mingyu. Jungkook departed at around 8:30 a.m., while Mingyu arrived approximately 20 minutes later, at around 8:50 a.m.

The appearance of two top stars at the same airport, on the same morning, and seemingly heading to the same destination quickly became a hot topic among fans. According to information shared by fans, both Jungkook and Mingyu were traveling to נαραи to attend an upcoming event for the Calvin Klein Harajuku Flagship Store. Just yesterday, an ARMY revealed that a staff member at the store had hinted at Jungkook's special appearance in the near future. Meanwhile, Mingyu's fans also noted that the idol was "heading to נαραи for a Calvin Klein event."

The famous best-friend duo has been αѕѕociated with the brand for years. Jungkook was officially announced as the Global Ambαѕѕador for Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear in March 2023. More recently, he collaborated with the brand on the CKJK collection, a project in which he was directly involved in the design process. As for Mingyu, the idol has consistently appeared in promotional campaigns and served as the face of numerous Calvin Klein collections over the years.

Beyond the coinciding schedules that strongly suggest a reunion in נαραи for the fellow '97-liners, the two stars' airport fashion also delighted fans online. Jungkook showcased a mysterious "Black Street" look, dressed entirely in black and pairing the outfit with a black bucket hat, a balaclava mask, and a matching Valextra Ami backpack. Similarly, Mingyu opted for a simple yet stylish "Wнιтe Minimal" aesthetic, wearing a wнιтe short-sleeve T-shirt, black pants, and a black baseball cap.

Their airport fashion choices today prompted one fan to affectionately remark, "97z tearing up the airport with 'Black Street' and 'Wнιтe Minimal'—isn't this just staged chemistry between pals?" while also expressing hope that they were "ready to enshrine their נαραи twoshot in the museum of iconic moments."

The comment quickly gained support from fellow fans, many of whom are eagerly anticipating the moment Jungkook and Mingyu finally appear together in the same frame for Calvin Klein: "Could it be... the two of them together? If so, I'd be thrilled. Safe travels", "Mingyu's enlistment is coming up soon, so it'd be nice if we could go together... right?", "Let's wait without getting our hopes up too much", "I hope we see them together. 97 besties style so good", "97z really never fail to keep us entertained", "One in all black, one in wнιтe and black, both heading to נαραи for Calvin Klein. So excited", The visuals, the friendship, the inevitable twoshots—I'm already seated",...
