BTS’ Jungkook's Are You Sure?! with Jimin
On Thursday, August 8, the first two episodes of the highly anticipated travel variety show Are You Sure?! starring BTS vocalists Jungkook and Jimin were released on Disney+. The K-pop idols had shared their plans on filming a travel show together in the past, which finally turned into a reality as they embarked on a journey together to the US, Japan, and South Korea last year.
The first two episodes showcased their time in the US, where they were seen enjoying American food, riding motorcycles, and surprisingly bumping into a fan. Jungkook also pulled a hilarious prank on Jimin by leaving him behind at a grocery store while the Like Crazy singer looked for him. Besides this, the maknae was seen looking after Jimin when he got sick during the filming.
The two members have been serving in the military together through the buddy system since December 2023; notably, the show was filmed before their enlistment. Jungkook and Jimin are expected to be discharged from their national duties in 2025.
Meanwhile, Are You Sure?! episode 3 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, August 15, on Disney+.
