On this day, the fandom seemed to explode with excitement as they welcomed the return of Jungkook’s live broadcasts on Weverse Live – soмєтнing they had been waiting for for over a year. This has been almost the only form of interaction between BTS’s maknae and fans, and especially, he enjoys chatting with ARMYs in this way.
In the recent live broadcast, it seemed that Jungkook had done it after coming home from working out, as he was dressed in his familiar Nike sportswear. Even during one part of the broadcast, Jungkook mentioned that he had recently developed the habit of going for a run with V around 8–9 p.m.
On the other hand, he also recalled the time living in the U.S. with the six BTS members when a fan asked: "How was staying with members in the US?". “It was so great! Great since it’s been so long we’ve been back like that like our old days…even after we grew up and matured. Loved it! Made me really happy,” he exclaimed happily.
After about two months of staying at BTS’s songwriting camp in Los Angeles, the members returned to кσяєα at the end of August, coinciding with the time when the youngest member’s birthday is approaching. Of course, fans have already been actively preparing for days, organizing major celebration events both in кσяєα and in many countries around the world, including both offline and online activities.
Amidst this atmosphere, an ARMY asked: "Are you looking forward to your birthday?" and Jungkook’s response completely captured the hearts of fans. Instead of being excited for his birthday, he shared: "Nope, I just consider it as the day I was born, so I'm really thankful when you wish me. I have to tell my parents that I'm grateful too, cause I usually am not able to say those... I should say these at times like this".
His thoughts were truly mature and thoughtful, deeply moving fans. For him, that day is not only a time to receive love and congratulations from others, but also a time to show gratitude and affection to the people who gave him life.
Normally, many people like birthdays because they receive attention, gather with friends, and celebrate, but they forget to spend even a little time with family, with parents – the source of each person’s life. Especially for those who don’t have much time for their family or parents, or who rarely express their feelings like Jungkook, this becomes an even rarer opportunity. That’s why Jungkook wants to “make use of it” rather than just celebrating for himself.
His confession that he usually cannot say it directly only made the message more heartfelt. This is a rare and genuine side of him that makes fans cherish him even more. Jungkook’s words also serve as a reminder that we should be grateful and show more care toward our parents and family.
Some fans commented that Jungkook’s perspective had turned a “birthday” into soмєтнing far more meaningful:
- He's so endearing I can't. He reminds me of showing more love to my parents
- He’s so sweet and my type. Many people often forget that family is the most important thing.
- He is the best son a parent could ask
- an angel with the sweetest heart. i love him sm
- He’s so real for saying that, honestly who even thinks of their parents first on their birthday?
- This is why I love Jungkook… he’s literally the most genuine person, always reminding us what truly matters
- This made me tear up… he’s truly so thoughtful
- My heart is so full, he always thinks beyond himself
- This is such a beautiful mindset, I admire him so much
- He reminded me to thank my own parents too… so touching
- Such a mature and beautiful mindset. This is why he touches millions of hearts… my angel
