BTS in general and Jungkook in particular have been active in the arts for nearly a decade. Of course, all that time has also made Jungkook too familiar with gossip, criticism or prejudice from the public.

But unlike many idols who always try to endure the "ropes" and "limits" that fans set for them, Jungkook always finds ways for fans to truly understand and sympathize with the real person. his. It includes Jungkook pointing out the misunderstandings that many people have imposed on him over the years.

Here are 5 misconceptions about Jungkook that still exist and need to be corrected in our minds! He himself pointed out those misconceptions frankly:

It's been almost a decade since Jungkook debuted. It is truly a long journey, enough for Jungkook to grow from a 15-year-old teenager to a mature and personality-filled 25-year-old man. ARMYs are also the ones who witnessed Jungkook from a fledgling artist to the global superstar he is today.

Therefore, Jungkook's internal and external changes are inevitable because he is just like any other normal person. However, there are still many fans who are stuck in Jungkook's past and have misconceptions about him that make any of his growth at the present time cause them to disagree, be annoyed, and even criticize him.

Faced with this situation, Jungkook directly expressed his thoughts about the misconceptions that many people are äṩṩigning to him. Jungkook also brings a story about evolution that is not simple but has a deep and emotional connection with fans during this growing process.

Here are 5 misconceptions about Jungkook that many people need to stop:

1. He is "afraid" of women

Many people always think that Jungkook doesn't like interacting with women because they still remember his behavior when BTS filmed a̾m̾e̾r̾i̾c̾an Hustle Life. It was a moment when when he was filming the Boy In Luv MV with sєхy girls, Jungkook seemed quite shy and uncomfortable.

But they don't remember that at that time Jungkook was just a teenager so he might feel shy when meeting women. On the contrary, at the present time, he is already a mature guy, even if he is a little shy, it does not mean that he is "afraid" or "doesn't like" contact with females as in the weird mind of many people.

In many cases, Jungkook even behaves with such politeness, masculinity and respect for women that makes fans go crazy! Remember, he also has many female friends and colleagues!

2. He is always shy

In fact, Jungkook may seem shy but he's not all the time. Jungkook himself also revealed that he is not shy by nature. He started out as a “naughty boy” who loved the outdoors.

He said: "I was a very mischievous boy when I was young. I loved playing outside as a kid. I really hated studying though. I got in trouble by my mom a lot. I was the type of kid who would run down the hallway and eat lunch fast at school (laughs). I even tried out for a b-boy competition even though I wasn’t good at it. I sang 2AM’s ‘This Song’ during a field trip in middle school too."

A reality that many people need to accept is that as an idol and a public figure, "shy" doesn't seem to be in the dictionary. Jungkook now stands on stage very confident and attractive because he is a professional idol!

Maybe, fans will see a few cute shy moments of Jungkook, but that's only when he's alone, off stage and just a normal person!

3. He didn’t always dream of becoming a singer

Jungkook started auditioning at a young age, but he could have chosen a completely different career path. Even when he auditioned, he wasn't sure if singing was his “dream” job.

He once said: "You might think that I had a dream of becoming a singer from a young age, but truthfully I still didn’t know what my goal or dream was even when I tried out for the audition program…It was more of a ‘what will be will be’ type of mindset and was also just for fun".

So, Jungkook can try whatever he wants in the future besides his singing career. But remember, whatever his choice is, it needs to be respected and he has the right to do that.

4. He doesn’t need to work as hard as other BTS members?

Because Jungkook can do everything well on stage or in real life, many people think that he was born with talent and doesn't need to put in much effort to succeed. But really everything Jungkook has achieved is thanks to his progressive spirit and tireless hard work to improve himself.

Those who think Jungkook doesn't work hard probably haven't seen the moments when he shows his weak side when he's exhausted from practicing or performing. RM once commented about Jungkook: "Normally, if we ask him (Jungkook) if he's okay, he always says 'Hyung, I'm not tired.' I'm okay because I'm strong." It's not that he's tireless, he just always keeps a positive attitude in front of everyone.

Being a Kpop idol, nothing is easy. BTS success and become as famous as they are today is due to the efforts and hard work of all members including Jungkook. His efforts were also recognized by other members and the personal achievements he deserved.

5. He is a baby

Finally, the most harmful and difficult to change misunderstanding in many people's minds is that Jungkook is still a baby! It was also the source that led to him facing a lot of criticism when he broke the cover that many people imposed on him.

When BTS debuted, Jungkook was only 15 years old and he was also the youngest member of the group as well as Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music. So it's not surprising that he became a loved child of his hyungs and fans.

However, 10 years later, the present Jungkook has become a charming and powerful man. He is already a superstar, a senior that thousands of other fans admire. In other words, Jungkook has grown up and is no longer a child who can't do this or that or must always maintain a pure image.

Jungkook himself also expressed that his changes in appearance or body such as getting his eyebrows and lips piercing, getting many tattoos, practicing boxing and growing his hair long.... are not transformations that make him become a different person. bad. That's actually who he really is and now it's been revealed. Jungkook said: "I need to tell people who love me, ‘I am like this.’ I’m not forcing anyone."

Meanwhile, in light of the recent controversies related to the release of Seven (Explicit Ver.) or drinking alcohol, using vapes...Jungkook also frankly gave his opinion that it is due to age and development. development of life. He said: "If you felt [it] like that, there’s nothing I can do… And if you think about it, how old am I?"

His decision to break away from his previous default image was neither spontaneous nor a rebellion. In his own words, it's a reflection of who he is now: "It wasn’t me trying to break away from my image. It was important for me to show how much I’ve grown as a solo artist through taking on new challenges."
