The bond between BTS’ Jungkook and ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo continues to melt hearts everywhere. The two ‘97 liners have long been admired for their close friendship, and their recent get-together has only deepened fans’ affection for them. According to reports, the duo shared a quiet dinner together before Cha Eun Woo’s military enlistment in July, and what makes it even more touching is that Jungkook reportedly flew back to South Korea just to spend time with his friend.
A fan visiting the same restaurant where the two idols had dined revealed that Jungkook and Cha Eun Woo had visited the establishment toward the end of July, just days before Eun Woo’s enlistment on July 28 at the Yeoncheon military base. The restaurant staff later confirmed the visit, sharing that both stars left their autographs behind as a keepsake. For fans, this simple gesture was yet another sign of the genuine bond the two share—a relationship built on mutual respect, warmth, and shared memories despite their busy schedules.
At the time, Jungkook had been in Los Angeles with the other BTS members, working on their highly anticipated new album, set to release in spring 2026. His brief return to Korea puzzled fans initially, but it’s now clear that the trip had a heartfelt reason. The BTS vocalist made time to bid farewell to one of his closest friends before Eun Woo began his mandatory military service—a testament to how deep their friendship truly runs.
Their bond goes beyond the occasional public appearance. In the past, it was revealed that Cha Eun Woo had gifted Jungkook a luxury watch, which the BTS star was later seen wearing in 2024 during Jin’s military discharge celebration, proudly displaying his friend’s thoughtful present. Now, Jungkook’s visit before Eun Woo’s enlistment feels like a full-circle moment—a quiet yet meaningful way to return the love and support.
Part of the famous ‘97-line’ friendship circle, Jungkook and Cha Eun Woo are known to share close ties with SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, DK, and The8, GOT7’s BamBam and Yugyeom, and NCT’s Jaehyun, with Stray Kids’ Bang Chan also rumored to be part of the group. With Eun Woo serving his term and Jungkook back in the studio, fans are already looking forward to the day these two talented friends reunite—hopefully, once again over good food and laughter.
