BTS’ Jungkook and SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu surprised fans by hosting an impromptu Weverse live at 4 AM KST. Two of the most popular K-pop idols are not only under the same management, HYBE but also part of the same 97-liner group consisting of SEVENTEEN’s The8 and DK, GOT7’s Yugyeom and BamBam, ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo, NCT’s Jaehyun, and Stray Kids’ Bang Chan, who was most recently added to the group.
ARMYCARATs (fandom names) were naturally surprised to see BTS’ Jungkook and SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu hang out at 4 AM and host their brief Weverse Livestream titled 97. Notably, the Euphoria singer started the live show, and the SEVENTEEN singer joined him. Dressed in black, the two stars showed off their captivating visuals as they chatted with fans who had tuned in to watch them.
"Cute 97 liner besties", @vantaekyo wrote, sharing a clip of Mingyu leaning onto Jungkook’s shoulder during the livestream.

Mingyu was shocked to find out that so many fans had tuned in to watch his Weverse Livestream. Jungkook chimed in that ARMYs were used to these kinds of late-night surprises from him. The SEVEN singer officially introduced his fellow 97-liner to fans, and the two chatted about random things while enjoying some alcohol together.
They chatted a bit with fans before bidding farewell. So while certain ARMYCARATs were lucky to witness BTS’ Jungkook and SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu’s live, the rest of the fandom took to social media to drop their heartwarming reactions to their Weverse live. Fans noticed it was the shortest live broadcast the Dreamers’ singer had done amongst all his recent live streams and joked that he beat his fellow bandmate Taehyung’s record as well.
Fans were warmed to see the two 97-liner idols’ camaraderie and genuine friendship with each other. Notably, it was the first time they hosted a Weverse live together, and although it was a short one with barely two minutes, fans thoroughly enjoyed it and hope for a longer livestream next time.
Last month, BTS’ Jungkook and SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu participated in the SUPER dance challenge, the title track from the group’s album FML.
