Fan Reactions and Speculations
Despite the questions, many fans expressed sheer delight at seeing Jungkook. Comments ranged from admiration for his unexpected appearance to curiosity about his leave from military service.
Here are some of the reactions shared by netizens:
“Why is everyone freaking out in the comments? It’s not like Jungkook went somewhere he shouldn’t have, lol.”
“How did they even find him? That’s seriously impressive.”
“Wow, figuring it out from just that photo… that’s true love.”
“Ahh, it’s Jungkookieㅠㅠ I missed youㅠㅠ Have a fun time and get home safely!”
“Ah, another member had a concert recently too, but he didn’t go to that one and chose to go to the aespa concert instead, lol. Don’t soldiers usually have to request leave in advance? He must have known the concert schedule beforehand — that’s kind of interesting. Anyway, I guess he really wanted to go to the aespa concert!!ㅎㅎ aespa concerts are great.”
“Those eyes and nose bridge — that’s definitely our boy, lol. Jungkookie, did you have a good time?ㅠㅠ”
“You can only see his eyes, but he looks so good, lol.”
“Oh, he’s still as round and soft-looking as ever. Even when he’s covered up, he still looks round and soft, lol.”
“You can tell it’s Jungkook just from his eyes, lol. It’s impressive that someone figured it out, but for a fan, those round eyes are impossible to miss, lol.”
“Jungkook, when are you getting discharged? Come back soon! And aespa, fighting!”
“Wow, it’s always fascinating to see celebrities being friends.”
“Since Jungkook had fun at the concert, I hope he also ate lots of good food!”
“Why can’t idols be close with each other? It’s nice to see K-pop stars supporting each other and being friends.”
“Can soldiers really decide their leave schedule so freely? Also, I heard even Jungkook’s parents came to support J-Hope at his concert.”
“You can barely see him in the photo — was there even a fan account or some kind of report?”
“J-Hope had no guest performers this time (he even performed the collab songs solo), and no celebrities showed up either — except for our eldest hyung — and I loved it.”
“Wow, Jungkook literally just went to watch a concert, but some people in the comments are acting insane.”
“Oh my gosh, it’s Jungkook! You can barely see his eyes, but it’s so obviously him. Ahhhhh Jungkook is on leave! He’s so cute. Have a great time before you head back, Jungkook!”
“Fans being able to recognize him is seriously impressive. Even in the cropped photo below, I was staring at this fluff ball for ages, wondering what part of it was supposed to be Jungkook’s face, lol.”
“Aespa really has such a wide circle of friends.”
“So many celebrities went… I wish I could have gone too. It sold out in an instant.”
“Is he an aespa fan, lol?”
“How did they even recognize him???”
Military Leave and Celebrity Friendships
