Jungkook's black and white group shot with his world tour colleagues

"Cool guys." That is the short caption Jungkook attached to a photo he posted on Instagram on October 2. It is said to be a black-and-white group photo where people are standing packed together along the stairs of a narrow indoor hallway, all making heart shapes with their hands and V poses toward the camera.

The people in the photo are wearing matching outfits, so it appears to be a commemorative photo taken together after a performance or photoshoot. Jungkook was seen standing naturally in the center, mingling with the people smiling brightly. It is a photo that perfectly captures the atmosphere behind the stage.

Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS, who debuted in 2013 with their first single, 2 COOL 4 SKOOL. He serves as the main vocalist, lead dancer, and sub-rapper. His solo song "Seven" topped the Billboard Hot 100, and he reportedly earned a Guinness World Record for becoming the first Asian artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify in the shortest amount of time.

The first full-length album GOLDEN, released in November 2023, contains songs of various genres including Standing Next to You, and reportedly set records for both album sales and the most streams for a K-pop solo album on Spotify.

It feels even more heartwarming to see such a casual photo posted between the documentary stories.
