BTS Jungkook and a lucky fan's sweet interaction has resurfaced and it’s quickly gaining attention. The video, originally recorded in December 2023, was shared by an ARMY recently, instantly going viral across social media. In the video, the BTS maknae can be seen radiating his signature bunny smile while chatting with the fan at a restaurant in Seoul. Jungkook, known for his humble and kind demeanour, took the time to sign an autograph and exchange a few words with the ARMY. Dressed in a blue hoodie, black beanie and pants, Jungkook sported an outfit similar to the one he wore during a December 2023 livestream with his bandmates Jimin, V and RM. This led many fans to believe that the video was shot just before his enlistment.
