How BTS’s Jungkook And Actor Yeo Jin Goo Became The Unexpected Friendship We All Love

We love a pair of same-aged friends.

K-Pop and K-Drama fans have 200% embraced the friendship between actor Yeo Jin Goo and BTS‘s Jungkook. These two became one of the most visually satisfying pair of BFFs in the entertainment industry, leaving fans curious as to how they got to know each other.

In an interview, Yeo Jin Goo revealed that he and Jungkook became friends through a mutual friend who isn’t working in the same field.

Interviewer: I hear that you’re friends with BTS’s Jungkook?

Yeo Jin Goo: Yeah, I’ve begun making friends in the same field. Jungkook is actually a friend of a friend. And that friend isn’t from the entertainment business… But that’s how I was introduced to Jungkook. Through soccer.

Yeo Jin Goo shared that it felt nice to get to know someone who is from his age group and from the same industry.

When I realized that he and I are the same age, I kind of opened up to him really quickly. For some reason, I’ve never had any actor friends who are my age… So I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to have that kind of friend.

As for Jungkook and I, we get along pretty well because we share similar personalities. A lot of the time, we hang out at cafes.
