One of the things that people always admire about BTS is their unchanging good character. Throughout their 10-year career, from unknown rookies to world superstars, BTS members have always maintained humility and kindness to anyone who comes into contact with them.
The following anecdote from a flight attendant when in contact with Golden Maknae Jungkook reinforces this fact. This story was shared on the flight attendant's blog before being reposted on community websites.
When the story spread widely, ARMYs could not help but be proud of Jungkook's character, representing the group!
In the entertainment industry, there are many cases where artists on stage and themselves in real life are two different versions. There are famous people who act like stars on stage but when they go backstage, they behave arrogantly, uncultured or rudely. But ARMYs have never feared or doubted BTS's character because for more than a decade, anyone who has come into contact with the 7 BTS members cannot help but praise them.
In particular, a story recently went viral in the flight attendant community and spread to the fan community, related to Jungkook. A flight attendant shared the story of her serving Jungkook on the flight that BTS returned to Seoul after the concert in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The moments when Jungkook interacted throughout the flight impressed not only the flight attendant but also the fans.
Specifically, the flight attendant shared that she was surprised to see BTS members on the flight. She paid special attention to Jungkook because he had a bare face and long hair but his facial expression was like a rabbit.
Another interesting thing is that she is also an ARMY and her bias is the group's maknae. So naturally, she was curious if he would be sleeping on the flight and glanced over at him occasionally. Jungkook did not sleep but was watching a movie with his trademark sparkly eyes instead. She included the photo below as a reference.
When the flight attendants started serving the pαѕѕengers, she was very nervous. The flight attendant asked Jungkook if he wanted to eat at that time but he refused. After a while, a member of the crew informed her that there was a guest who wanted fried chicken and surprisingly, it was Jungkook who asked for it.
She brought a tray of chicken and placed it on the table for him and said, "Enjoy your meal." Jungkook looked at her with wide eyes and bowed his head in gratitude. He also explained,"I said I didn't want to eat before, but now I've changed, so...", then he chuckled and looked embarrαѕѕed.
In response, the flight attendant also bowed and said, "It's okay, you can want anything, more. Why don't you choose soмєтнing to drink?". It is noteworthy that after he finished eating and she came to clear the tray, they continued bowing to thank each other like a "never-ending bow battle". When she remembered it, she felt that moment was funny. This ARMY once again emphasized that Jungkook is a completely polite person, good qualities are ingrained in his body.
When all the services on the plane were done and the plane was about to land, she thought it was the last chance to show him that she was an ARMY. She went to his seat and bent down. Jungkook saw this so he paused the movie, took off his headphones and looked at her. She showed him her ID card - which had a photo of Jungkook getting sunburned in Hawaii and said "You know I'm an ARMY, a real ARMY".
He was a bit surprised but immediately lowered his posture and smiled shyly. Then he smiled and asked: "Would you want me to sign". This was not soмєтнing she can expect, so she happily took off her stewardess hat for Jungkook to sign. Jungkook even confirmed again: “You mean I signed on it?” with eyes wide open. She answered emphatically: “Yes.” After that, Jungkook was quite puzzled and said, “Oh. Then I should sign the inside of the hat." But since she has 2 hats, she told Jungkook that he could sign outside.
At the end of the story, the flight attendant made a strong statement: "I will become the strongest person in the world and punch anyone who dares to speak soмєтнing bad about Jungkook". There is nothing more perfect than this sentence, showing how much Jungkook deserves to be loved and respected!
