Jungkook tried to apologize to V and hugged him from the back while ARMYs cheered for the two.


7) Muster Sowoozoo 2021

BTS members love to tease and pull pranks on each other. At the Muster Sowoozoo 2021 concert, they started their iconic water games. Tae-hyung poured water on Jungkook while he was singing. The golden maknae is not the one to give up. He chased his hyung down and gave him a tit-for-tat response, drenching him in water.

The 2018 MAMA awards hold extreme significance in BTS’ journey to becoming the World’s most successful K-pop group. They won multiple awards and, most importantly, the Artist of the Year award.
