In an engaging and insightful Q&A session with SiriusXM, BTS‘s Jungkook offered fans a glimpse into his creative process, future plans, and more. The interview was filled with questions submitted by fans. It gave Jungkook a unique opportunity to connect with his audience on a deeper level.

Jungkook began by talking about what it was like to listen to GOLDEN for the very first time. He expressed his eagerness to hear the album ASAP. “So, when you feel that your recording went well, you naturally want to listen to the final version as soon as possible. I asked for it right away. The first time I listened, the schedule was tight and I didn’t have much time. I thought about revising some parts, but overall, it was better than I expected. I was amazed; it was fun and a little strange too.”

When asked if the order of the album’s tracks meant anything, he said yes. “They’re all love songs. We arranged the album based on the content, details, and properties of the songs. Eventually, we noticed there was this connection or flow going through it.” That was how they fixed the order of the tracklist.

Significant challenges

One of the most significant challenges for Jungkook was recording in English. He candidly shared, “The pronunciation was difficult, and it was actually more like psychological pressure than I thought to have the songs in English.” Despite these challenges, the positive reception of the album has given him a sense of relief and satisfaction.

When asked by a fan which song he’d recommend to someone new to his music, Jungkook chose “Hate You.” He reasoned that it’s easy to listen to and fitting for the chilly weather. Another fan inquired about how the album helped Jungkook express his colors to the world. He responded, “From ‘Seven,’ ‘3D,’ and up to this album, I think the balance was great with the songs.”

Jungkook also expressed a desire to explore different genres and instruments, starting with the bass. “I really, really want to try, and when I get a chance, I want to try everything,” he said.

Jungkook looks ahead

Looking ahead, Jungkook talked about the future. “Frankly speaking, I cannot imagine myself in ten years. And it’s true that I was always considering the future as I pursue all of this,” he admitted. “But I do not have any particular image of me in ten years, but one thing that’s clear is I’m always aspiring to be more like a cool person every day.”

On a lighter note, Jungkook revealed his favorite version of the album is the one featuring his photo. The interview concluded with a question from Billie Eilish, asking what Jungkook misses the most. His answer tugged at ARMYs’ heartstrings. “The one that I miss the most is, because I’m now working as a solo artist, so I think of my members from time to time, and also the moments when we’re performing on stage.”

Jungkook‘s SiriusXM interview not only showcased his thoughtful approach to music but also his reflective and ambitious nature. As he continues to evolve as an artist, his journey remains a source of inspiration for fans worldwide. – K-Pop News Writer
