2024/09/25

Before their military enlistment, BTS members Jimin and Jungkook filmed an exciting travel variety show titled Are You Sure?!. Their journey took them through California, Jeju Island, and Japan, spanning from July to November 2023. This 8-episode series premiered on Disney+ on August 8, 2024.

Their escapades included kayaking, staying in a cozy forest cabin, grilling barbecue, and an amusing incident where Jungkook accidentally elbowed Jimin in the nose. They also indulged in the local cuisine of Jeju Island, enjoyed fishing and snorkeling, and concluded their adventure in Sapporo, Japan.

A highlight was the surprise appearance of BTS’ Kim Taehyung in Jeju, who joined Jimin and Jungkook to relive travel memories. As Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jimin prepared to enlist in the military for their mandatory service in December 2023, this trip marked their final outing before returning in 2025.
