About Jungkook & Tzuyu

Jeon Jungkook (BTS) and Chou Tzuyu (TWICE) are both born in 1997, placing them in the beloved '97-liner friend group that K-pop fans have followed closely across the years. Jungkook debuted with BTS under HYBE in 2013, while Tzuyu debuted with TWICE under JYP Entertainment in 2015. As the youngest members of their respective groups — BTS's golden maknae and TWICE's Taiwanese maknae — they share a parallel narrative that fans enjoy: two of the most prominent visuals of their generation, each carrying their group's youngest-member energy while excelling across performance disciplines. Their names are often linked in '97-liner appreciation content alongside Mingyu (SEVENTEEN) and Cha Eunwoo (ASTRO). Verified direct interactions between Jungkook and Tzuyu are limited; most fan content draws on their shared birth year, complementary visuals, and brief award-show encounters. This is a ship driven primarily by aesthetic appreciation and generational framing within the fandom.

The Jungkook-Tzuyu pairing is popular in multi-group shipping spaces, celebrated more for the idea of two 'golden maknaes' than for a documented friendship. Fan content tends to focus on visual comparisons and the '97-liner theme rather than specific interaction moments.

ISAC 2016 appearances

Both BTS and TWICE attended the Idol Star Athletics Championships in 2016, one of the first large multi-group events where their names appeared together in fan discussion. Brief glimpses of idol-group interactions at ISAC became early fuel for cross-group shipping in this era.
