Is BTS’ Jungkook Back in Seoul to See Cha Eun-woo Before Military Enlistment? Fans Think So
BTS’ Jungkook is rumored to be back in Seoul to meet ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo before his military enlistment. Here’s why fans believe the best friends reunited.
BTS’ Jungkook and ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo share a strong bond, with fans speculating Jungkook is back in Seoul to bid farewell before Eun-woo’s military service.
According to rumours, BTS member Jungkook has returned to South Korea, which has led to conjecture that he may be meeting up with ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo, a close buddy, prior to the latter starting his required military service. Though the singer is purportedly in Los Angeles with his bandmates for BTS' upcoming album, social media is ablaze with stories reporting sightings of Jungkook in Seoul.
The Rumoured Return of Jungkook Amid BTS Album Preparations
For the last two months, members of BTS have been in Los Angeles working on their eagerly awaited comeback album. The remainder of the group arrived after RM (Kim Namjoon) arrived first. But new fan reports indicate that Jungkook has been spotted in South Korea, which feeds speculation regarding his unexpected comeback.
Jimin, another member of BTS, and Jungkook served their required time in the military earlier this year. Jimin recalled that Jungkook was employed in the kitchen division during his army service, calling the position "one of the toughest jobs" because of its demanding duties, which included everything from food preparation to inventory control.
Why Korean fans think that Jungkook is in South Korea
The tight friendship between Jungkook and Cha Eun-woo is the primary cause of these rumours. After sharing innumerable public occasions that demonstrate their close relationship, the two idols, along with Seventeen's Mingyu, form the well-known "97-liner" friendship group.
Prior to Jungkook's enrolment, Eun-woo gave him a unique Korean soldier's military watch. Supporters now think Jungkook might be repaying the favour, perhaps to give Eun-woo a meaningful farewell before his 18-month duty starts.
Enlistment in the Military by Cha Eun-woo
Cha Eun-woo, who is well-known for his acting and singing, will formally enrol on July 28, 2025. In addition to his notable roles in popular K-dramas like True Beauty, My ID Is Gangnam Beauty, and A Good Day to Be a God, he is well-known for being a member of ASTRO. Many followers have expressed their love for his talent and dedication, and his enlistment announcement has left them feeling emotional.
