Working, These 4 Lucky Fans Share Their Stories of Meeting BTS Without a Plan

Kapanlagi.com - If someone says that most K-Pop idol fans are teenage girls who are still in school, it seems not entirely true. In fact, nowadays K-Pop fans are much more diverse, coming from various age groups.

This is what makes the backgrounds of these K-Pop fans also varied. No longer dominated by students, but many are already working in various professions.

Fortunately, while in the middle of duty or work, some BTS fans or commonly called ARMY, suddenly meet their idol. This unplanned encounter with BTS is shared by several fans through different stories.

The first story comes from an ARMY who went to a restaurant with her friend. At that time, there were three reserved tables in the restaurant. Besides their table, there was a table reserved by a 40-year-old woman with her son, and another table reserved by Jungkook BTS.

This fan knew that at that time Big Hit Music announced that BTS was taking a short break, so fans were asked to respect the privacy of the idol while on vacation. She decided to just sit quietly and enjoy her meal, even though her heart was pounding to meet Jungkook unexpectedly.

However, the 40-year-old woman turned out to be an ARMY as well. She asked the restaurant owner for permission to get Jungkook's autograph. After being confirmed by the restaurant owner, Jungkook happily gave her his autograph.

Apparently, the restaurant owner also informed Jungkook that the guests at the other table were also his fans. Shyly, Jungkook approached them, asked for their names, gave them his autograph, and even shook hands before leaving.

This immediately made the ARMY who happened to be at the restaurant with Jungkook apologize for disturbing his vacation time. Jungkook just smiled and said goodbye, leaving a deep impression on the fans. Of course, these BTS fans cried tears of joy afterwards.

A former flight attendant and YouTuber, Kim Ha Gyeong, also has an interesting story when she was still on duty on a plane. By chance, she met Jimin BTS. Of course, her feelings were immediately mixed when she saw Jimin, but she tried her best to remain professional.

In addition, Kim Ha Gyeong tried to adhere to the agreement proposed by ARMY, not to disturb the BTS members while they were working. Unfortunately, Kim Ha Gyeong's coworker was a long-time fan and was unaware of this rule. Suddenly, the coworker asked for a photo with Jimin on the plane.

With great politeness, Jimin apologized if the agency's rules prohibited him from taking photos with anyone while working. This was to avoid leaking their work location or any other spoilers.

However, as a substitute, Jimin was willing to give an autograph. Upon hearing this, Kim Ha Gyeong was touched and even wiped her tears, as she was deeply moved by Jimin BTS's kindness.

A different story comes from an airport employee who has also met BTS. At that time, he was assigned to monitor the airport's CCTV. Suddenly, BTS passed by and posed and waved their hands curiously towards the CCTV. Apparently, this action looked adorable in the eyes of the airport staff.

According to him, Jungkook's face is like a baby, but his body is very muscular. "I thought he was very handsome. After that, I realized that I was falling in love at first sight. Since then, he has become my ultimate bias," he said.

Not only Jungkook, but he was also impressed with J-Hope BTS. He even made J-Hope his second bias in BTS.

4. Freelance Employee Meets BTS

Last but not least, there is a freelance employee who also has an equally memorable story of meeting and working with BTS. In December 2019, he worked as a freelance employee in the advertising production department between BTS and a major e-commerce company in Indonesia.

"One of my tasks was cleaning and doing small tasks given randomly, because the shooting schedule was very tight and packed. The location was divided into two sets, A and B. I worked in set B, which was not for the main advertising production," he said.

The limited time made the B team also had to be ready to assist the A team when needed. Although this employee felt that his task was not that big, he was deeply touched because every time he worked, all BTS members would bow and say thank you, including to him. Since then, he has become an ARMY.

Well, those are some diverse stories of BTS fans who unexpectedly met their idols while working or doing activities. These moments will always be remembered, as they may not happen again.
