Jungkook Departs for Tokyo on Individual Schedule, Two Days After Returning Home

September 23, 2026 — Jungkook was photographed departing Gimpo International Airport for Tokyo, Japan, just two days after arriving back in Seoul from his individual US schedule and one day before South Korea's Sept 24-26 Chuseok (Hangawi) holiday. Neither HYBE nor Jungkook addressed the purpose of the trip publicly. Fans on social media speculated it was related to his Calvin Klein ambassador role after a crowd gathered outside the brand's Harajuku store in Tokyo the same day, though this connection remains unconfirmed. Coverage noted visible fatigue and renewed fan concern over his packed schedule, with commenters urging him to rest during the holiday. BTS's next scheduled group activity is the Latin American leg of the ARIRANG World Tour, opening in Bogotá on Oct 2.
