When two of K-Pop’s most legendary ’97-liners reunite for a TikTok challenge, the internet understandably loses its collective mind.
Cha Eunwoo made a surprise appearance during his military service this week when he posted a video to TikTok with none other than BTS’s Jungkook.

Together, the pair danced to Cha Eunwoo’s latest comeback, “Saturday Preacher,” before saluting each other with playful military precision. While Jungkook sported a casual hoodie and beanie, Cha Eunwoo appeared in his military uniform.
Korean netizens quickly flooded community sites with their reactions. One fan shared the clip in a now-viral post on Pann, adding how Jungkook had previously revealed that he stayed up the night before eating and drinking with a friend.
Jungkook and Cha Eunwoo’s new challenge, they’re insanely handsome
The reactions exploded the moment it dropped.
During Jungkook’s live today, he said he stayed up all night yesterday at his place eating dried herring with a friend and having a glass of soju, and it seems like that friend was Cha Eunwoo, who’s on military leave ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
They’re both great dancers, insanely good-looking, and two members of the legendary ’97 line. Them doing each other’s solo song challenges is so heartwarming.
While many netizens couldn’t look away from the explosive visuals between the pair, others zeroed in on their adorable longtime friendship and chemistry together.
- “A handsome guy next to another handsome guy, so wholesome.”
- “Only in K-Pop do you get them facing each other and doing a military salute ㅋㅋㅋ Why is Jungkook’s senior vibe so fluttery, and Cha Eunwoo’s loud, booming loyalty shout too, ahh I love it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
- “Both are insanely handsome, big eaters, gentle, and Korea’s representative young-rich-handsome men ㅠㅠ”
- “They both go on leave and the first person they look for is each other… It’s already almost 10 years of friendship. EunKook, may your friendship never change.”
- “Good-looking people really stick together. They’re so handsome.”
While Jungkook completed his military service in June this year, Cha Eunwoo is currently serving in the military band. He’s scheduled to be discharged on January 27, 2027, but thankfully, Jungkook is always by his side!
