Jungkook Garners Praise for Helping an Injured Reporter During His Latest Airport Appearance
The appearance of all seven BTS members at Incheon International Airport on February 2 quickly became a focal point of global media attention earlier this month. This marked the first time in nearly five years that the group had departed the airport together for an overseas schedule. The lasti time all members were seen leaving together for official activities was in 2021, before the group entered a hiatus and the members began their mandatory military service.
What stood out most to many observers was the group's natural chemistry. Their interactions with one another and with the press reminded fans of earlier eras when the group maintained a frequent activity schedule. For many, the scene felt like a clear step toward BTS's full-scale return.
On that day, BTS's maknae line showcased their vibrant energy as they appeared together as a unit. From the moment they arrived, V and Jungkook continuously greeted and interacted with members of the press. Meanwhile, Jimin was notably well put-together and attentive to his appearance—so much so that even Jin appeared surprised. Jimin later explained that because it had been such a long time since he appeared in that setting, he wanted to leave a good impression.
In particular, one moment that continues to be widely discussed was when Jungkook stepped in to help an injured reporter following an accident at the airport. A viral video showed a Dispatch reporter walking alongside. Jimin while filming, unaware of a signpost in front of her, which resulted in her hitting her head. Both Jimin and his bodyguard appeared visibly startled as the reporter clutched her head.
Immediately afterward, Jungkook—who had been walking behind Jimin—quickly moved forward and took hold of the reporter's camera, which was livestreaming the incident. While holding the camera, he and V briefly filmed themselves as if recording a vlog. Jungkook looked into the lens and greeted viewers, saying that they were on their way to an important filming schedule. V also greeted viewers, and the two shared a laugh before Jungkook returned the camera to the reporter when she jokingly asked for it back.

Beyond that moment, the reporter's reaction after being helped by Jungkook also drew fans' attention. Toward the end of the livestream, after BTS had entered the check-in area, the Dispatch reporter was seen leaving while repeatedly saying in disbelief, "Jungkook held my camera."

ARMYs' comments
1. The sweetest and kindest person ever. You raised such a gentleman, papa and mama Jeon.
2. A global pop superstar, yet still the kindest and most considerate human.
3. My choice has never been wrong from the very beginning. Choosing them, supporting them, and making Jungkook my bias since 11 years ago was truly the right decision in my life. Jungkook has clearly received excellent upbringing and manners—not only from his immediate family, but also from his second family, his hyungs in BTS. This is just one of the thousands of reasons why I love them so much.
4. Is this man even real? Not only is he extremely talented, but he has the looks, the personality, and is humble and kind too. He is truly a one-of-a-kind superstar—so rare. I hope HYBE knows his value. If anyone criticizes you for stanning him, mind you, they are the losers.
5. I have only one heart—how many times is he going to win it?
6. BTS members have every right to treat Korean reporters harshly after everything they've been put through. Yet they show nothing but kindness, especially looking out for women's comfort. We truly stan the right people.
7. No wonder people who have met him always talk about how kind and humble he is.
8. Is he an angel or a human? How can someone truly be that angelic? No wonder Namjoon gave him the title Golden Maknae. He's not only incredibly talented—able to do almost anything—but he also has the heart of an angel. Oh God... You truly brought into this world someone who leaves me in complete awe and admiration. He really is an angel, not a human.
9. Jungkook, you're giving me even more reasons to love you. Stanning you is honestly one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm proud to be your fan.
10. He's seriously so kind and thoughtful! Getting an exclusive shot like that in such chaos is so rare. No wonder she was so happy afterward, bragging, "Jungkook took my camera!"
11. The handsome one with such humility. He truly cares about others. He know exactly how to make people happy He is a true entertainer.
12. Our humble King Kook remains genuine and kind. They often chat with her, so I guess there's some kind of friendly appreciation there.
