One of the most iconic friendships in K-Pop is between ’97 liners BTS‘s Jungkook and SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu.
Over the years, the duo has treated fans to a lot of adorable interactions with other members of their gang, including other idols from some of the biggest groups in K-Pop!
On a recent live broadcast, Jungkook was dancing to the track “SUPER” and just generally showcasing his love for SEVENTEEN.
After revealing that member Jun had taught him the dance, Jungkook explained that Mingyu had asked him to film the challenge but hadn’t contacted him.
Although he joked he wasn’t going to do it, after weeks of waiting, it seems like everyone’s wish has been answered.
On June 9, netizens couldn’t hide their excitement when SEVENTEEN posted a video with Mingyu and Jungkook together. In the opening moments, the two had a hilarious skit where Mingyu explained that he should’ve contacted Jungkook earlier as he thanked his sunbaenim for taking part.
After Jungkook said he’d try his best, the two got into the challenge, and considering how talented they were, it wasn’t surprising how amazing the video was.
At the end of the video, the camera zoomed into the two friends, and it was definitely a visual explosion.
In less than an hour, the video had been watched on TikTok over one million times, with hundreds of thousands of likes. In the comments, netizens couldn’t get over the friendship between the two stars and how talented they are. Even on other platforms, everyone was obsessed with the video.

After the video was posted, Mingyu even shared some TMI on the video.
On Weverse, the idol explained that he didn’t meet with Jungkook for the sole reason of doing the challenge, but they just happened to do it. He also pointed out that he was wearing slippers but didn’t have them in the video because “I wouldn’t dare wear it when filming with sunbaenim.”
