Did BTS’ Jungkook Click Selfie With Shah Rukh Khan? Viral Pic Sends Fans Into Frenzy

A picture showing BTS member Jungkook taking a selfie with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has gone viral, sending both ARMY and SRK fans into a collective meltdown. In the image, Jungkook is seen in a striped

shirt layered over a white T-shirt, while SRK exudes sophistication in a black suit. For a brief moment, social media was flooded with excitement over the “crossover of the year.”

However, the euphoria was short-lived. It was later revealed that the photo was, in fact, an AI-generated image that replaced the face of Squid Game actor Lee Jung-jae with Jungkook’s.

Lee Jung-jae, the Emmy-winning actor from Squid Game, had shared the genuine photo on Instagram. He captioned it, “Honoured to be with the legendary Mr. @iamsrk,” alongside a selfie of the two. In it, SRK looks dapper in all-black, while Lee sports a relaxed hoodie look — a far cry from the viral version that featured Jungkook.

Joy Forum 2025 Becomes a Global Celebrity Hub
At the same event, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan were also seen meeting Korean actor Lee Byung-hun. The Squid Game star shared multiple photos featuring a star-studded lineup, including basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, YouTube star MrBeast, and streamer IShowSpeed.

The Joy Forum 2025 served as an international platform bringing together artists, producers, and creators from across the world. The presence of Bollywood icons alongside Korean and Hollywood stars highlighted the growing global exchange in entertainment.

While the AI-generated “Jungkook-SRK selfie” turned out to be fake, it showcased the enthusiasm of fans dreaming of a real interaction between the K-pop superstar and the King of Bollywood.
