1. The Spark: “Is There a Romantic Relationship?”

 

In late 2024, a fan posted on Quora asking, “Is there a romantic relationship between Jungkook of BTS and Mingyu? I need information from a sasaeng.” Though seemingly innocent, the call for “sasaeng-level” intel ignited speculation across communities and social media—fueling debates over whether Jungkook and Mingyu had more than just friendship.

 

 

 

 

2. Fans’ Sightings & Whispers

Once the question went viral, fans flooded forums with “sightings” and anecdotal evidence:

 

▪️Airport Elevator Encounter: In early 2025 at Incheon Airport, one fan claimed they filmed Jungkook and Mingyu sharing a private conversation in the VIP elevator. Critics note both artists often share transit routes for logistics or security reasons.

 

▪️Backstage Moments: Multiple reports surfaced from concert rehearsals, describing Mingyu waiting with a warm smile as Jungkook wrapped up practice—and vice versa, Jungkook cheering Mingyu on. Their overlapping schedules naturally bring them into the same spaces, making such moments plausible without implying romance.

 

▪️Mutual Likes on SNS: Instances of Jungkook and Mingyu liking each other’s Instagram posts and V Live comments were spotlighted. However, liking posts among peers is common fan-service behavior in K-pop circles.

 

 

 

 

3. Quora·Koreaboo·Instiz Rumor Roundup

 

Media outlets and online boards played a key role in spreading the “some” narrative:

Koreaboo Article (2016): Referenced Soyou & Junggigo’s song “Some” lyrics to suggest a subtle attraction between the two stars, originally as lighthearted commentary but later seized upon by fans assembling “evidence.”

 

Instiz Forum: Joked that sharing the “97 line” and having nearby birthdays meant they were destined for each other. What began as tongue-in-cheek evolved into earnest shipping content.

 

Netizen Reactions: Social-media users outside the fandom chimed in with comments like “They look so cute together!” and “That chemistry—I’d ship it!”

 

 

 

 

4. Hard Evidence vs. Misinterpretations

 

Claimed Evidence	Description	Rebuttal & Misinterpretation
Airport Transit Overlap	Caught in the same elevator or corridor	Both artists often travel via managed VIP routes together
SNS Mutual Likes	“Likes” on each other’s Instagram and V Live posts	Typical peer support and fan-service etiquette
Close-up Photos & Videos	Standing or talking close together at events	Camera angles, staged fan events, and rehearsals blur lines
Complimentary Remarks	Public praise (“Mingyu hyung is amazing,” “JK is so reliable”)	Standard senior-junior courtesy and encouragement

5. Fans’ and Parties’ Perspectives

 

👤Fans: Many delight in their evident camaraderie, while some caution against overanalyzing friendly gestures. Supporters cheer on any hint of romance, whereas skeptics remind everyone that close-knit group dynamics can be misread.

 

👤Official Responses: Neither Big Hit nor PLEDIS has issued a statement. Both labels generally prioritize privacy, and insiders reportedly advised against amplifying unfounded rumors.

 

Industry Experts: Note that K-pop management carefully orchestrates appearances. Intimate moments on camera are often choreographed or occur naturally in high-pressure group settings—rarely signifying a hidden romance.

 

 

 

 

6. Conclusion: What’s the Real Story?

 

After weighing all the anecdotes and alleged proof, there’s no conclusive evidence that Jungkook and Mingyu share a romantic relationship. Most “evidence” can be explained by overlapping schedules, professional courtesy, and fan-service culture. For now, the Jungkook×Mingyu ship remains a product of passionate fandom imaginations—until the artists themselves choose to confirm otherwise.
