BTS‘s Jungkook recently sat down with Vogue Japan. Known for his dedication and talent, the golden maknae’s revelations about his routine, fashion, and music provide a closer look at the star’s life. He may be off in the South Korean military now, but he prepared content like this before enlisting so fans won’t miss him too much.

Jungkook‘s routine, especially when he’s overseas, has evolved recently. “Lately, I’ve cut down on my weight training and do about 30 minutes of cardio exercise. Thirty minutes of it will help me burn about 300 kilocalories. My habit in the morning and night is to look at my phone when I wake up and do the same at night before I sleep,” he shares.

Shifting from weight training to cardio exercises, while burning around 300 kilocalories per session, can lead to improved cardiovascular health. Cardio exercises like running or cycling are effective in strengthening the heart and lungs, enhancing endurance, and reducing the risk of heart diseases. This change might also aid in weight management due to the higher calorie burn, potentially leading to fat loss if combined with a balanced diet.

Fashion faves

When traveling, Jungkook‘s must-have items are quite straightforward. His phone tops the list, followed by his passport. Interestingly, he also referred to Calvin Klein items as essentials, though he playfully withheld further details. 

Jungkook didn’t specify which Calvin Klein items are his favorites, but fans may remember the pieces he wore during his performance at the TSX stage last month. Those items—and others from the Fall 2023 collection, for which Jungkook did a photoshoot—are available on Calvin Klein’s website.

He did say that he enjoys matching Calvin Klein outfits and denim tops with bottoms. Comfort is key for him, as he prefers oversized shoes and clothes, with knitted hats being a particular favorite.

Jungkook is in his golden era

When asked about his current focus, Jungkook joked that he was concentrating on the interview. However, he also mentioned working hard on his new album, which was in preparation at the time of the interview. This album, titled GOLDEN, seems to be a significant milestone for him.

The concept of “gold” holds a special place in Jungkook‘s life. He shared a personal story about something that happened while his mother was pregnant with him. “She had a dream about gold. I feel that I’m shining the most now. ‘Golden’ has the word ‘gold’ in it too. So I think now’s my golden era.” Speaking of his parents, Jungkook attributes his talents and character to them, describing these traits as golden.
