Furthermore, in a VLIVE broadcast of the maknae line (formed by V, Jungkook It is Jimin) after the first show of the PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE LA tour in 2021, V pretended to be an online content creator interviewing the two group mates, taking Jimin joking that he is Jungkook would open a channel together.
While thinking of a name for the possible channel, MinKook was again the idol’s first option; remember!
Today it’s been exactly one year since Jimin suddenly said his name, Jungkook, they were going to open a YouTube channel, but they could only use “VLive” and he released a MINKOOK kkkkkkkkk
