Will we see BTS Jimin and Jungkook in the 2023 MAMA Awards? We’re certain that we are not the only ones who are hoping for this to happen. As the K-pop community knows, the music award show already released the final lineup for this year’s ceremony. But is it possible that the two BTS members’ flight to Japan last November 23 is a sign that they will be performing too? Here’s what we know so far.
BTS Jimin and Jungkook Flew To Japan
Fresh from the military enlistment processing announcement, a day after, two BTS members departed from Gimpo International Airport on November 23. This sudden flight had ARMYs curious on what is their upcoming schedule.

- Earlier this week, the remaining four members initiated their military enlistment process, and will possibly enter the camp around December. However, it seems that BTS Jimin and Jungkook have surprising plans before their fans send them off for their service.
Is it possible to see the two perform at the 2023 MAMA Awards? While it’s not confirmed that the two will, it’s still not out of the horizon. The music award show ceremony begins on November 28 at the Tokyo Dome. The two are known to be nominated for the “Artist of the Year” award, so a surprise stage could be a reason for their flight to Japan.
On the other hand, Dispatch has revealed a hint about the plans of BTS Jimin and Jungkook. As the entertainment outlet filmed and live-streamed the two’s arrival at the airport, the video’s description was interesting enough to not be curious. It said that the two members would be filming a “documentary,” which could be a travel vlog.
"Jimin and Jungkook will depart for Japan via Gimpo International Airport on the afternoon of the 23rd to film a documentary."

This would also make sense, especially if you have seen SUGA’s Suchwita episode featuring Jungkook. The latter revealed that a travel variety show with Jimin was recently greenlit. Well, a Japan episode for this travel show or vlog is something that ARMYs would love to see.
The two BTS members already arrived safely in Japan. Unfortunately, there is still no confirmed news as to what schedule the two have.
- If they would be back before the 28th, that would mean that they will not attend the 2023 MAMA Awards, so the travel vlog is more suitable. However, if the two will return after 28 and 29, we could have seen them already at the music awards show!
ARMYs React To The Surprise Flight
BTS has been nothing but surprising, specifically recently. One example would be Jungkook’s surprise performance at Times Square. Second was the military enlistment news, and now, this one. Oh well, the fandom always loved seeing them anywhere, so we’re just thrilled and not complaining! Also, ARMYs caught a few heartwarming moments from the two members at the airport yesterday.

Fans couldn’t help but admire how the two’s interactions are nothing but adorable. Some even managed to edit and post clips of the two, from earlier vlogs and even the teaser of the BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star documentary. And some cute photo edits from ARMYS, too!
