BTS’ Jimin & Jung Kook to Star in Disney+ Travel Reality Series ‘Are You Sure?!’
Jimin and Jung Kook are adventuring together! The BTS stars are set to release a new travel reality show together, titled Are You Sure?!, exclusively on Disney+.
The eight-part series, which was filmed in 2023 before the duo enlisted in the South Korean military, follows Jimin and Jung Kook as they travel to three iconic global destinations: New York state, USA; Jeju Island, South Korea; and Sapporo, Japan. Are You Sure?! “will take viewers on a fun-filled journey with Jimin and Jung Kook as they eat, shop, cook, camp, canoe, swim and road trip together,” according to a press release, and will “give a deeper look into Jimin and Jung Kook’s undeniable chemistry and endearing friendship as they bond over a variety of unforgettable moments throughout the trip immersing in different cultures, exploring various action-packed activities, and trying out local cuisines.”
The news comes soon after a cryptic teaser was posted to social media, featuring a slideshow of photos showing two band members exploring the outdoors together. In a November episode of Suchwita, the YouTube talk show hosted by BTS’ Suga, Jung Kook appeared as a guest and revealed that he and Jimin had once discussed filming their joint adventures across the globe.
“On a shoot with Jimin ages ago, he said it might be fun to do a travel variety show with me, and I agreed,” Jung Kook told Suga in the video, according to YouTube’s English translation. “But it didn’t end up going anywhere after that. Then suddenly, they set up a shoot.”
Are You Sure?! will be available to stream on Disney+ starting on August 8, with new episodes released every Thursday through September 19.
