Recently, following the military discharge of BTS' Jungkook and Jimin, the two K-pop idols and fellow group members have been spending much time together. From filming dance challenges together to taking an international trip touching spots in the US, Vietnam, and Switzerland, the two have been rejuvenating themselves after the long and hard service in the South Korean military.
While many fans and netizens have been thrilled about the several interactions they've been getting from the two members, some stans were not so happy about the same. Solo stands of Jimin and Jungkook have been pointing out how these trips and the time the duo has spent together have been restricting them from the progression of their solo careers.

Many also suspected that the two spending time with each other could be a fan service to people who tend to ship them as a couple. As these rumours continued to trail across the internet. ARMYs soon came to the defense of the members. Fans expressed that the two members are on a well-deserved break and are allowed to release music, both as soloists and as BTS members, as and when they feel comfortable enough.
Therefore, fans called out the unnecessary criticism towards the two members spending time together. On the other hand, fans also stated that after some research, they discovered that most of the accounts that were spreading hate and criticism towards the members were fake and created only to create these speculations among fans.
"I pray with my whole body and soul that jungkook doesn't see all this, LEAVE HIM ALONE, LEAVE THEM ALONE, how can they call friendship as fan service, what is this deranged behaviour, this is so sad."
"That’s why i hated the rumours regarding his work, they place unreasonable expectations and then get mad when it doesn’t work out the way they want it too !!" said a fan on X
"Like, he would know what he wants to do with his own career, the man is 28 in two months" added another fan
"Keep in mind that these accounts are fake w 0 followers, their only goal is to spread hate to him, we need to report and fill the comment section w love." commented a netizen
More fans have been actively reporting these accounts and criticizing the netizens for their actions.
"This is on another level of sick. Like who is paying for this? It's the kind of behavior I saw against Meghan Markle and their royal acct. Like it's strategic and sad. Will report" stated a fan
"Tf why they're deciding for him what to do with his projects" added an X user
"What do they mean by fan service? A dude hanging out with his friend is considered fan service to them? These people need friends irl" said a netizen
"Imagine calling a friendship of more than 12 years fan service just because you're mad now that you're finally realizing the members aren't bitter losers like you and all the stories you make up every day about them hating and being jealous of each other are lies" commented another X user
