In recent months, ARMYs have enjoyed an immersive experience with BTS's Jungkook, who has been engaging in a unique parasocial relationship with fans. His interactions have ranged from answering questions on various social media platforms to more intimate moments like falling asleep during a live broadcast. These instances have elevated fans' perceptions of him, setting new standards for what constitutes 'boyfriend material.' As Jungkook enters his mandatory military service, let's reflect on ten standout moments that truly showcase why he's an ideal 'boyfriend-to-be.' These moments highlight his charming personality and deepen the connection between him and his fans.
1. Jungkook is known to turn on a live broadcast spontaneously, and there was one time he came on air to answer fans' questions and requests. When an ARMY commented, "Let's date for 5 minutes!" the star had no hesitation and said, "Sure, let's date for 5 minutes."
2. If you want to marry Jungkook, you've been forewarned because you'll have a handful. Even Jungkook said that "he's not easy to handle."
3. As the broadcasts went on, Jungkook showed his personal side more and more, to the extent that he even fell asleep during the broadcast with millions of fans watching. Just like watching your boyfriend fall asleep after a long day, isn't it?
4. Although he may look tough on the outside, you can tell that he sincerely cares and loves his fans because he gets so emotional every time they're brought up. Even the members were shocked to find Jungkook beginning to cry as he was reading a letter to ARMYs during their winter package back in 2020.
5. The winter package back in 2020 wasn't the only time Jungkook showed his endless love and appreciation for fans. He was also deeply touched by watching 'Love Letters,' which is a fan-made song created by ARMYs.
6. Another boyfriend quality about Jungkook is that he honestly doesn't care what others think; if it's something he likes and enjoys, then he doesn't care what others may say. So if someone complains or says anything negative about you, it’s guaranteed that he's not just going to sit back and listen, but take a stance.
7. Everyone knows that the star has multiple talents, from drawing, singing, dancing, and even exercising, but he's also expanded on his cooking skills. And who doesn't want a boyfriend who knows how to cook?
8. Have no fear, Jungkook is here! He is definitely the type to protect the ones he loves; Jungkook is also an ace at boxing. How good are his skills? It is so good that even MMA fighter Choo Sung Hoon acknowledged just how good Jungkook is in the sport. Jungkook also learned taekwondo when he was younger.
9. If you thought Jungkook sleeping in front of thousands of people was shocking, well, Jungkook surprised fans even more upon this broadcast. No further explanation is needed.
10. Imagine nights when you have a home karaoke date; it'll be filled with endless fun and joy.
I can't wait to see the group return as a whole in 2025; until then, ARMYs worldwide will stay strong. After all, Jungkook has given us plenty of moments that we can treasure.
