On October 24, BTS’ Jung Kook surprised fans when he was spotted at the airport. It was revealed that the group’s youngest member was heading to Qatar for solo promotions.
Jung Kook was seen dressed in a comfy black outfit with long uncombed hair, with glasses and coffee in hand. He was greeted at the airport with cheers from fans waiting for him.
After waiting for over 24 hours, ARMYs got a little more glimpse of what Jung Kook was up to. “Jungkookie” and “Qatar” took over worldwide Twitter trends as fans spotted the BTS member dressed in a shiny white outfit, wandering the streets of Qatar with his bodyguards in tow.
BTS fans were delighted to spot Jung Kook and took to social media to share their reactions.
BTS fans guess what Jung Kook must be up to in Qatar
In June at BTS’ Festa dinner, members announced they will be taking a break from group activities to embark upon their solo activities. On October 15, the members came together to perform at their global concert in Busan’s Asiad Stadium to help South Korea win the bid for the 2030 World Expo.
Members have been busy with their own promotional schedules in addition to the group announcing that they will be enlisting in the military and fulfilling their mandatory service.
Fans are guessing what this is about as there is no definite news about it. Is it a song recording, a promotional video, or some Korea x Qatar collaboration?
According to fans, Jung Kook looked like a “prince charming” in a sparkling white jacket, white t-shirt, and black trousers.
Most fans are convinced it is related to the upcoming FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar. BTS released a promotional song, Yet to Come, a British rock remix for the Goal of the Century World Cup Campaign.
There are rumors that BTS may perform at Qatar World Cup 2022 opening ceremony and going by his recent appearance, it can be attributed to promotional activity as well.
According to some ARMY accounts, Jung Kook spent some time interacting with fans, posing for pictures, and signing autographs.
Later in the day, fans spotted him at Qatar airport after wrapping up his work, presumably with some brief amount of work.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup’s opening ceremony will take place on November 20 at 7 pm local time at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar and BTS might be one of the performers at the opening ceremony.
