BTS Jung-kook packed his bags again and headed to Japan just two days after returning from the United States. It was the day before the Chuseok holiday weekend.

On the 23rd, X (formerly Twitter) saw rapidly spreading videos and photos of Jung-kook departing for Japan captured at Gimpo Airport by entertainment media Dispatch, quickly becoming a major topic.

Earlier, on the afternoon of the 17th, Jung-kook had departed from Incheon International Airport to Las Vegas, U.S. On the 18th (local time), he showcased explosive vocal power on stage at the '2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival' with performances including 'SWIM', 'Mic Drop', '2.0', and 'FYA', before returning home early on the 21st via Incheon Airport. This means he embarked on another overseas schedule just two days after completing his U.S. commitments.

The 23rd was the day before South Korea's Chuseok holiday weekend and also a public holiday in Japan known as 'Autumn Equinox Day'. On this day when both nations began to rest, Jung-kook traveled across the holiday period.

As the topic trended on X, reactions from overseas fans poured in immediately. One Japanese fan expressed regret, saying, "We just wished you a good Chuseok break, but now you're heading to Japan again," while another speculated, "Is this another CK-related schedule?" recalling Jung-kook's role as Calvin Klein ambassador.

Another fan wrote, "Have a safe flight; I hope you can rest this time," expressing concern for his health as he continues his grueling schedule.

Due to the tight schedule, faint signs of fatigue were visible on Jung-kook's face in Dispatch's video from that day. Some reactions noted how he appeared with eyes closed for a long time while riding an escalator and only opened them when approached by reporters, revealing the weight of his relentless itinerary.

Meanwhile, J-Hope was also reported to have completed personal schedules on the same day, leading to continued messages of concern mixed with support from fans regarding the members' non-stop activities even on the first day of the holiday weekend.

On X, a fan who actually witnessed the scene shared more detailed eyewitness accounts.

Reactions to Jung-kook appearing without makeup were also intense. One fan said, "I don't know what bare-faced Jung-kook is doing to me; he's just perfect," while others expressed, "I've missed seeing you like this" and "It's so handsome it makes me sad," filled with genuine fandom emotion.

Among these reactions, the most prevalent sentiment was undoubtedly 'worry'. As fans saw him continuing schedules without rest even during the holiday weekend, they expressed mixed feelings of pride and sympathy on social media, wishing, "At least for this holiday, please take a short break."
