BTS's Jungkook is arguably the most famous K-pop idol right now. It is obvious by the way how he randomly pops up almost everywhere from Korean dramas to U.S. newspaper comic strips to Ivy League lecture halls. Or how widely-known he is by both fans and locals (term used for non-fans). Every time locals talk about K-pop, it is always Jungkook who's mentioned. It is no doubt that Jungkook's level of fame is at par with other global superstars today, if not bigger.

Recently, BTS was mentioned in the famous American animated sitcom The Simpsons, and to no one's surprise, Jungkook received a special mention. In the episode "Yokel Hero," Cletus, who grew apart from his family and friends after his sudden famesaid to Marge:


"Well my family now is Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and all of them Mumfords..and everyone in BTS except for Jungkook, he's too pretty for my taste."


The fact that Jungkook was specifically mentioned proves his unrivaled fame and solid presence. To top it all off, he was described as “too pretty” which is a legit compliment no matter how you look at it.


Previously, Jungkook made headlines for being a global household name. The fact that Jungkook randomly appears almost everywhere beyond K-pop itself shows his strong presence among the general public. Be it pop culture, education sector, political article, and even sporting events, there are always times when Jungkook casually pops up in almost every region in the world.

Dang that's crazy, but not suprising. Even I knew about Jungkook before I got into kpop. He was the only name I knew. Pretty cool how he managed to get into the simpsons tho 🤭
