Kim Jong Kook then expressed that he’s looking forward to BTS’ appearance and said into the camera, “It’s time for you guys to appear. My brother Jae Suk came too.” 

Hearing this, the production team asked, “Didn’t you say you met (BTS) when you went to America?”, prompting Kim Jong Kook to tell the story of meeting BTS Jimin in America.

“I was eating on the street in LA, so I didn’t realize it, but the manager recognized him and said that Jimin was there”, Kim Jong Kook said. 

Then, he continued, “I was just going to pass by because I was afraid it would be uncomfortable”, and revealed that Jimin was very kind and sent him a DM that day.
