On September 17, 2023, the airwaves of iHeart Radio’s 1035 KISS FM were filled with anticipation as BTS‘ Jungkook joined Brady for an intimate conversation. Sporting blue denims and a crisp white t-shirt, coupled with a short hairstyle, Jungkook’s presence was magnetic. Though the interview was relatively short at just eight minutes, it was packed with revelations that have since become talking points among the BTS fandom.

It’s no secret that fans miss seeing BTS as a full group. Despite his success as a soloist, Jungkook feels the same way. When asked what he misses about the members, his words, filled with emotion, resonated deeply with fans everywhere.

“Of course, each member has his own trait, so I could say what I miss about each of them,” he said, “But more than that, as I worked on my solo project, I missed all the moments we shared together. For example, staying in the waiting room even though we were all doing our own thing. When I went to SUGA-hyung’s concert, and when I performed solo on stage, I just thought that I want to be on stage with all our members. Or I want to hang out with them in the waiting room. I really miss those ordinary moments. I hope that day comes back very soon.”

The conversation took a lighter turn as Jungkook talked about his TikTok. Chuckling, he shared, “It was unexpected. But now that ARMY and many others found my account, I might use it officially. As you know, everything is fast on TikTok. So I can use it to learn what’s trending. I don’t want to get behind in trends. So maybe? I’d assume you will be seeing more from me on TikTok!”

Jungkook reignited fans’ hopes

On the topic of his newfound passion for cooking, Jungkook revealed, “I watched numerous cooking videos online. I tried the recipes, and it naturally became my hobby.” However, after indulging a tad too much, he’s now more diet-conscious.

Discussing his aspirations as a solo artist, Jungkook expressed a desire to showcase his identity and explore different genres and styles. “First of all, it’s a bit contradictory. So, I think it’s important to have a distinct color, but I also want to show various colors as a singer. Genre, style, whatever lyrics, whatever voice, I really want to try various things. So, I wonder how far I can go, and I want to challenge myself. I’m curious.”

Finally, when asked about ARMY, the global fanbase that ardently supports BTS, Jungkook‘s words were deeply touching. “I’d describe them as a ray of light. But it’s more of a feeling than an image. I’d say it’s love, but it’s much bigger than that. When I was going through hard times, I was able to get back on my feet because I had ARMY by my side. So that’s why I can say they’re a ray of light.”

In this revealing convo, Jungkook not only shared his personal journey and feelings about BTS but also reignited the hope of millions of fans eagerly awaiting their return. – K-Pop News Writer
