Trainer Ma Song-ho released 'exercise certification shots' with BTS members and Kim Jong-kook. Ma Song-ho recently conveyed through his SNS that he took photos with Kim Jong-kook and BTS's Jungkook, saying, 'This photo is packed with various episodes (joint training of big JK and small JK).' He also released photos taken with BTS's RM, V, and Jungkook, adding, 'On the third day of LA training camp, Namjoon (RM's real name), Taehyung (V's real name), and Jungkook.' Previously, on August 21, Kim Jong-kook released a video of exercising with EXO's Chanyeol, Ma Song-ho, and Choi Han-jin through his channel. In the opening of the video, he mentioned, 'A little while ago, Ma Song-ho took a photo with Jungkook,' and said, 'We took a proper photo together. I usually don't take photos whether Taehyung comes or Jungkook comes, but that day, Son-ho happened to say, 'Brother, let's take a photo,' and we took a warm photo together.' However, he revealed that only the two of them were uploaded on Instagram, saying, 'If I were a celebrity who caused some social controversy, I could understand.' This left Ma Song-ho puzzled, and he explained, 'I will explain the reason I didn't upload it.' He said, 'We took two photos. We took one as a set and one just the two of us. When I asked Jungkook, 'Can I post this?' he said, 'Brother, of course.' He revealed that the photo taken with Kim Jong-kook showed Jungkook's bare face without a mask, so he had no choice but to do so. Kim Jong-kook held a wedding with a general woman at a certain place in Seoul on September 5.
