Yet, while the tweets didn’t get much attention, it was enough for fans to come back fighting and hit back at the misinformation. They explained that the photo Jungkook posted had been taken by the dealer who sold the idol the bike, and that he was just sharing it rather than meeting in person. It meant that while the photo was taken in Seoul, it was not done by Jungkook, which went against the allegations.
see? jungkook is not in korea. the picture jungkook posted was taken by his dealer. so stop spreading misinformation that jungkook went to seoul from mexico in 2 hours to meet winter 💀
