Jungkook got no peace on his 29th birthday as his hyungs turn soundcheck into a full-blown birthday party.
A BTS fan account posted a 19-second clip from day one of soundcheck in Los Angeles as part of the ARIRANG World Tour.
The chaotic footage captured other BTS members fooling around with the birthday boy ahead of their opening-night performance at SoFi Stadium on September 1, coinciding with Jungkook’s birthday.
The video opened with BTS members and their tour crew gathered in a room decorated with balloons and party-like decorations.
Taehyung appears to pull at Jungkook’s arms, while RM gets in on the fun with a bunny balloon, seemingly giving Jungkook a playful whack.
Then comes another dose of maknae treatment as J-Hope appears to tug at Jungkook’s ear, leaving fans delighted by the group’s dynamic.
The party atmosphere becomes even clearer as the footage moves toward Jungkook’s birthday cake.
He was seen leaning over a two-tier white cake decorated with gold details and blowing out a lit candle as the members and people around him celebrated.
The youngest member of BTS has long been affectionately “babied” by Jin, RM, Jimin, J Hope, Suga and V.
Even as Jungkook enters the final stretch of his 20s, the bandmates still seem perfectly happy to pull his arms, mess with his hair and ears, and attack him with balloons.
