BTS' Jimin and Jungkook's Vietnam vacay details leaked, fans express concerns as flight attendant shares experience
Jungkook and Jimin have been on an international whirlwind tour, with sightings in multiple countries, including America, Switzerland and Vietnam. Fans speculate the reason for the same to be the filming of Are You Sure? Season 2. Recently, a Vietnamese flight attendant's encounter with the duo sparked both praises and worries about their privacy breach, as reported by Vietnamese news portal Jimin and Jungkook spotted on a Vietnamese flight On the evening of May 26, a Vietnam Airlines (VNA) flight attendant, referred to as M.H., took to social media to share her chance encounter with Jimin and Jungkook. They were on board the flight, heading to Da Nang. Sharing her experience, she expressed disbelief at her luck. She recounted the incident, saying, "I never thought that one day I would meet and serve Jungkook and Jimin on a VNA flight. It felt like a dream, guys." According to her account, she initially didn't recognize the BTS members when they boarded the plane due to the large number of passengers. However, when she got a good look at their faces while serving them their meal, she immediately recognized who they were. Her suspicions were confirmed when another colleague confirmed their identities by checking the passengers list. Following that, the "whole team exploded" with thrill. However, they did not approach the K-pop stars for photos or autographs, instead sent them a sweet written note, sharing that they were BTS ARMY and were happy to have them aboard. The message read, 'Good afternoon! Welcome aboard! It is such a great honor to serve you on today's flight. I hope you are satisfied with the service and have a wonderful time in Da Nang. We are ARMY, and we love you very much!' The note allegedly brought smiles to the faces of the popstars. However fans had mixed reactions to it. Some praised the cabin crew for not disturbing the artists and just admiring their presence from afar. While few others expressed disappointment in the fact that the flight attendant's story exposed the itinerary for the boys, putting them under potential threats of stalking by sasaengs (obsessive fans).

Travellers at Sydney international arrivals urged to check for measles symptoms after confirmed case of highly-infectious disease on Vietnam Airlines flight
Travellers have been urged to check for symptoms of measles after a confirmed case flew into Sydney from South East Asia while infectious this week. The alert is for those who visited Sydney Kingsford Smith's international arrivals and baggage claim area on Monday June 16 between 8am and 9.30am. Passengers who were on board Vietnam Airlines Flight VN773, which departed Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday June 15 at 8pm, arriving to the Harbour City the following morning at 8am, are also told to be on the lookout for any signs of the highly-contagious disease. Symptoms include fever, cough and a runny nose, which is then followed by a distinct rash that spreads from the face to the rest of the body three to four days later. The confirmed case had travelled to Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Despite the locations no longer posing a threat to the pubic, those who visited those areas, or have been in contact with people who have, should be alert for measles signs. "It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure, so it's important for people who visited these locations to look out for symptoms up until 4 July 2025," Dr Mitchell Smith, from NSW Health, said in a statement. 'It's important for people to stay vigilant if they've been exposed, and if they develop symptoms, to please call ahead to their GP or emergency department to ensure they do not spend time in the waiting room with other patients." He also urged people to stay up to date with vaccines, especially for measles. In particular, those born after 1965 need to have two doses of a measles vaccine. "This is especially important before overseas travel, as measles outbreaks are occurring in several regions of the world at the moment," Dr Smith added. Anyone experiencing measles symptoms can also call healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
