BTS Jung Kook steals Jin's slipper in hilarious prank
BTS members show their close bond as Jung Kook plays a prank on Jin, proving even global superstars act like siblings.
Even for global stars, there are moments when they are as ordinary as siblings bickering. The close relationship between the members of BTS was once again brought to light as Jung Kook was seen playing a prank by stealing the slippers of the eldest member, Jin.

On the 27th, the official BTS account released several photos along with the caption, “You have the wrong number.” The photos capture the members playing around with the slippers Jin was wearing.
The most eye-catching part was Jung Kook's prank. He picked up one of Jin's slippers, held it to his ear, and posed as if he were making a phone call. His action perfectly matched the caption “You have the wrong number,” allowing fans to guess the situation without any further explanation.
J-Hope, appearing next, also burst into laughter after seeing Jung Kook's prank. Unlike the serious and charismatic images they present on stage, these photos captured the ordinary side of peers who steal each other's belongings and laugh together off-camera.
Jung Kook's mischief didn't end there. He showed an even more mischievous side by throwing the slipper to a high place that was difficult for Jin to reach even if he stretched out his hand. Ultimately, Jin was captured being barefoot for a while, unable to retrieve his slipper.
While it is a short prank that cannot be considered a special event, these everyday scenes are actually more welcomed by fans. This is because the fact that superstars, who perform before hundreds of thousands of spectators and dominate global music charts, also steal each other's things and tease one another highlights their human side.

In particular, Jin and Jung Kook share a symbolic relationship as the eldest and the youngest members of BTS. Although there is a five-year age gap between Jin, born in 1992, and Jung Kook, born in 1997, they have formed a relationship close to family by living as one team for a long time. While they focus on their respective roles on stage, their habit of teasing and reacting to each other in daily life, transcending their age difference, has consistently earned the love of fans.
It is also meaningful that these small pranks continue among the members even after BTS achieved global success. This is because the relationships between the individuals existing behind the massive title of global stars are ultimately based on the intimacy and trust built by spending time together.
The members' pranks are also a way of demonstrating BTS's teamwork. From J-Hope laughing at Jung Kook's mischievous behavior to Jin, the target of the prank, accepting the situation, the comfortable atmosphere unique to a team that has been together for a long time is revealed.
BTS resumed their full-group activities in March with the release of their 5th studio album, 'Arirang.' Since then, they have continued their global journey by meeting fans around the world through a world tour.
Behind the massive audiences, huge stages, and global fame and records, the members' relationship is surprisingly simple. The sight of the youngest, Jung Kook, stealing his older brother's slipper, holding it to his ear like a phone, and throwing it out of reach, and Jin accepting such pranks, shows that regardless of the title 'world-class,' they are still comfortable presences to one another.
