Jungkook moved away from home while he was still a teenager and spent his trainee years living in Seoul. Those early years were far removed from the life he would eventually lead. He would sometimes buy instant ramen from a nearby convenience store and eat it while crying because he missed his mother. A banana milk after practice could become a small comfort at the end of a difficult day.

His middle school graduation was also unusual. His parents could not attend, but BTS members Jin, Suga and Jimin were there for him. The celebrations were short-lived, however, as training continued. In the months leading up to BTS’ debut, the members could spend as many as 12 to 14 hours a day practising.

Seven was originally written for Justin Bieber

Even his final moments before enlistment retained a very ordinary quality. On his last night, Jungkook appeared on Weverse while doing laundry and spoke to ARMY, making the farewell feel less like a grand celebrity goodbye and more like an everyday conversation.

Jungkook’s tattoos and piercings marked a noticeable departure from the polished image traditionally associated with K-pop idols. His first publicly spotted tattoo was “ARMY” across his knuckles, and his collection gradually became part of his evolving personal style.

But the conversation around his tattoos extended beyond fashion. His choices became part of a larger discussion around individuality, beauty standards and changing perceptions of tattoos in South Korea. At one point, South Korean lawmaker Ryu Ho-jeong even used photographs of Jungkook while advocating for legislation concerning tattooing.
