"Their kiss broke the internet. Their hatred might break each other."

After one and a half years of military service, BTS's Jungkook escapes to Italy for one last taste of freedom before his group's comeback. BLACKPINK's Rosé , freshly independent after her agency's upheaval, just wants solitude before their world tour.
