In an unexpected turn of events that sent K-pop fans into a frenzy, BTS's Jungkook recently crashed SEVENTEEN's Mingyu's live broadcast, creating a viral moment of friendship and camaraderie. The surprise interaction occurred during a late-night Weverse live featuring Mingyu with fellow SEVENTEEN members S.Coups and Dino.
Jungkook's sudden appearance in the comments section of the live stream caught both the hosts and viewers off guard, sparking immediate excitement across social media. Fans were quick to share clips and express their appreciation for the genuine bond between the two idols.
During the live, Mingyu greeted Jungkook warmly, acknowledging the time difference due to SEVENTEEN's North American tour, which commenced on September 13, 2025. "Hello! Jungkook is here? Hi~ what time is it there? you're already up?" Mingyu asked. Jungkook responded with words of encouragement, saying, "You're working hard," and playfully added, "Mingyu, have a good live. I'll be going now; I'm ready whenever. Sorry, Carats, goodbye". Carats are the name of SEVENTEEN's fan base. Mingyu then replied, "Okay, bye, take care of yourself. Let's do a live together sometime later. Come by when you have time," before Jungkook wrapped it up by saying, “Love you. Take care of yourself”. Later, Jungkook updated that message to, "Love you dude," which made Mingyu laugh.
The interaction wasn't just a fleeting moment; it sparked conversations among fans, highlighting Jungkook's caring and considerate nature and further proving the close friendship between the two idols. Both Jungkook and Mingyu are part of the renowned '97 liners, a friendship group comprising K-pop idols born in 1997, including members from GOT7, NCT, ASTRO, and Stray Kids. This unexpected reunion also served as a reminder of their previous interactions, including a TikTok video they filmed together and Mingyu's listening party, which Jungkook attended.
The possibility of a future joint live stream or even a dance challenge between Jungkook and Mingyu has generated considerable anticipation among fans. A fan requested that Mingyu and Jungkook take part in a 5, 4, 3 (Pretty woman) dance challenge. Jungkook expressed his readiness, saying he was available to film it anytime. Unfortunately, the actual TikTok challenge will have to wait as Mingyu is currently in the United States for SEVENTEEN's tour.
This recent Weverse incident isn't the first time Jungkook and Mingyu have surprised fans with their interactions. In July 2023, the pair held a surprise live stream on Weverse at 4 a.m.. During the live broadcast that lasted less than two minutes, Jungkook introduced Seventeen's Mingyu to the fans and said, "It's a surprise live stream".
The impact of Jungkook's recent Weverse "crash" extended beyond a simple online interaction. Social media platforms were flooded with fan edits, memes, and translated clips, accumulating over 50 million views within 24 hours. Major entertainment outlets recognized the event, further amplifying the excitement. The live stream reached a record-breaking 2.5 million viewers.
