On July 30, 2023, BTS' Jungkook attended SBS' South Korean music program, Inkigayo, where he was welcomed by the hosts of the show, including TXT's Yeonjun and others. It's a known fact among K-pop fans that both idols belong to the same label, HYBE, and thus share a somewhat close bond.
On the same day, the idol delivered an electrifying encore stage performance of his recently released digital single, Seven, and even won first place on the show.
As soon as the videos of Jungkook and Yeonjun interacting went viral on social media, fans had different opinions about how close they are and why Jungkook decided to lean a bit closer to the latter than to other hosts. After watching the duo's interaction, one fan tweeted:
"THEY SHOOK HANDS": Fans can't get enough of Jungkook and Yeonjun's interaction at the Inkigayo
As Jungkook made his presence known at the music program Inkigayo, he was seen gravitating towards TXT'sYeonjun during his interview with the other hosts. Fans noticed that he also patted the former's back, indicating that he's more familiar with him and shares cordial bonds with him. While the other hosts felt starstruck because of the Euphoria singer's presence, Yeonjun looked rather calm and composed because he had met him before as well.
The duo also had brief conversations and small talk during the aforementioned show, where Yeonjun shook hands with Jungkook when the latter was declared the winner. After receiving the award, the BTS member seemed a bit clueless about what he should convey to fans, to which Yeonjun replied with something that many fans observed but couldn't decipher.
Needless to say, fans are over the moon after watching the latest interaction between the two singers.
Meanwhile, another highlight of the music program Inkigayo was when Kim Tae-hyung also joined his band mate on the dance stage, where they grooved to the idol's song Seven together and smiled ear-to-ear.
Naturally, ARMYs were ecstatic over the fact that the duo was spotted dancing together at a music show after a long time, creating a historic moment for them. They complimented V for his thoughtful gesture and for supporting the Seven singer in his endeavors at the show.
On the same day, the idol also took to Weverse, stating that ARMYs are good singers after some fans started mocking and making fun of K-ARMYs' singing skills during Jungkook's Inkigayo Encore stage performance.
At the event, fans lacked clarity while singing the English lyrics of Seven, which later became a topic of discussion on South Korean platforms, and some fans even asked the broadcast channel to exclude and remove the fans' voices from his performance stage. However, defending ARMYs, the idol clarified in his Weverse post that they are good singers.
Additionally, the Euphoria singer also joined BTS and Jimin as the only K-pop acts to hit the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Euphoria singer has reportedly revealed on Suga's talk show, Suchwita, that he is planning to release a new single and a mini-album before November 2023.
