From attending each other's concerts, participating in dance challenges during each other's comebacks, to even appearing on Weverse lives together, Jungkook and Mingyu's relationship has surely grown to be one of the sweetest friendships in the industry.

The first and most recent interaction between the two K-pop idols was when Mingyu appeared on Jungkook's Weverse Livestream on July 4, 2023. The live was broadcast around 4 am KST, and while Jungkook is known for his extensively long broadcast sessions, this live was considerably short.
The BTS member started off the live stream by announcing that he has a guest, which was Mingyu, and as the latter laid his head on Jungkook's shoulder, the two talked to fans for a little while. Soon after, they decided to take their leave and ended the broadcast. Since the background looked like it was Jungkook's house, fans are happy to know that they are having a good time hanging out with each other.

Naturally, there were many idols who began to talk about themselves, and Jungkook and Mingyu were among them. Fans couldn't quite get over how cute the two looked as they seemed to be in their own world.
3) Mingyu winking at Jungkook during an award show
Another Jungkook and Mingyu moment that came out of an award show is at the 2019 Golden Disc Awards.

4) Jungkook supporting Mingyu by attending SEVENTEEN's concert
One of the many ways in which K-pop idols with friends from different groups showcase their love and support for each other, is by attending the group's concerts.
Following this tradition, Jungkook attended SEVENTEEN's Be The Sun concert, which was held in Gocheok Sky Dome, Seoul, on June 26, 2022. At one point during their show, Mingyu and DK spotted Jungkook, and they waved at the idol who was enjoying the song, Heaven's Cloud, that was being performed.
5) MC Mingyu patting Jungkook after BTS' performance

As the group finished their performance, SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, who was hosting the show alongside Red Velvet's Irene, entered the stage and sneaked in a pat on Jungkook's hand as though it meant to convey a "good job" message to the BTS member.
6) Jungkook and Mingyu's SEVENTEEN Super Dance Challenge
Another recent Jungkook-and-Mingyu moment that landed on the internet is when the two filmed a dance challenge to SEVENTEEN's latest comeback, Super. While dance challenges are usually filmed in studios or agency buildings, fans found it hilarious that the challenge was filmed with bad lighting and in the middle of nowhere.
Many even made fun of how bad the quality of the video was, but regardless, they cherished the collaboration and found the interaction between the idols too cute.
