Jungkook held a live broadcast on his actual birthday according to кσяєαn time to celebrate the special milestone with his fans. Although it was a livestream to celebrate his birthday, it seemed to focus more on Jungkook sharing his thoughts and reflections as he entered a new year of his life, expressing his gratitude toward his parents, his fans, and the people who have contributed to making him who he is today, while also opening up more to his fans.
Notably, during the broadcast, Jungkook mentioned: “I've been thinking about things and I think it's time to light up my pαѕѕions again. I feel like the ideas/feelings I've had inside me has subsided a lot so it's time to find them again. So I have to try a bunch of things. I enjoy filming and taking pictures a lot these days.” Not only that, he later went into even more detail about the kind of person he is looking for to accompany him.
According to Jungkook, he already had a specific type of person in mind whom he wanted to “hire” to film videos together with him. He described them as: “Someone who’s around my age, likes having a drink, and needs to be a little more talkative than me. They should talk a lot and be a bit more pαѕѕionate—like, have more energy and enthusiasm. And they should be somewhat interested in things like their appearance and clothes.”
Not only that, Jungkook also pointed out one more trait: “And they should like working out too. They need to be into exercise. That’s pretty much all I need. Because when I make videos, rather than just filming myself, I want to include the people around me in the videos too.”
After telling fans about these requirements, Jungkook also humorously admitted that his criteria might be a little “picky.” “You know, it’s a little picky, right? Ah, but it has to be that way. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as cool, you know?” he said. At the same time, he also asked ARMYs for help: “So if there’s anyone if you happen to see this video and know someone good who might fit the description, please let me know.”
This is actually not the first time Jungkook has publicly looked for someone to accompany him in filming and editing. Back in May, he went viral after sharing on Instagram that he was looking for a content creator who could film, take photos, and edit videos. “Looking for someone who can film. If you’re really good at editing too? Let’s travel the tour together,” he wrote, while adding that he would take care of the equipment and that the right person just needed to find a way to contact him.
When he returned for the North αмєяι¢αn leg of the tour in early August, Jungkook also surprised reporters and fans by showing the filming equipment he had brought with him in large equipment bags. Although his busy schedule afterward left him with little time, and it seemed that he still hadn’t found a suitable companion, Jungkook continued to occasionally share some footage that he managed to film while on tour.
His latest comments during his birthday livestream further show that he is genuinely serious about his pαѕѕion for filming and photography and wants to make it an enjoyable part of his journey going forward. Following the criteria Jungkook mentioned for his potential companion, fans also had some interesting discussions:
- He is looking for another Jungkook. Right. Any extroverted Jungkooks out there who are good with a camera?
- I think it would be really tough to meet Jungkook's criteria, because so far only one person fits the staff criteria that Jungkook wants, only Kim Taehyung. You'd have to pay him a fortune, Jungkookie
- He is basically looking for a more extroverted version of himself to be his friend and film him
- He wants to hire someone to film him and his surroundings. I just noticed he's been commenting a lot on one of his dancers' posts, and they always banter during shows too... and that dancer is actually incredible at editing and making videos!
- When he says these things and end with "please let me know"...how exactly do we do that? Eh, Jungkookah..?
- I talk a lot and I’m pαѕѕionate but mostly about BTS so that’s probably not what he has in mind
- Imagine getting paid for cosplaying jungkook and being best friends with him
- Actually, he's hanging out with Taehyung and Hobi because he's testing them for the job... It's an introductory interview, they are the candidates, and in the end, he'll pick one of them... or maybe he'll keep both?
