The surprise appearance of fellow BTS member Jungkook in the comments added even more excitement. He jokingly asked, “When did you film this? LOL,” prompting enthusiastic reactions from fans, KTrenz reported.
His playful message quickly attracted hundreds of thousands of likes as ARMY enjoyed seeing the members interact online.
