With the nickname “Golden Maknae,” everyone knows that Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS. Among the seven members, Jungkook is also the last one to enter his 30s in кσяєαn age at this point in time. Every 10-year milestone in life carries a special meaning, and turning 30 is no exception. In particular, this stage is often seen as the moment when a young man truly becomes a fully mature adult.

That is why many people are curious about how Jungkook feels as he enters a new chapter of his life, especially while BTS is simultaneously opening a new chapter in their career. Fortunately, the idol’s thoughts were widely shared through his recent interview with Harper's Bazaar as he collaborated with the magazine for its June cover issue.
During the conversation, Jungkook was asked several interesting questions about himself and BTS. One of them mentioned that he would officially turn 30 in кσяєαn age this year and asked: “What kind of time was your 20s for you? And what do you think Jeon Jungkook will be like now that you are welcoming your 30s?”
In response, Jungkook shared a very calm and mature perspective on aging. The idol explained that he does not think turning 30 will create a huge difference in his life. “I don't think it will be much different. Just the first digit of my age changing,” he said.
However, regardless of age, Jungkook emphasized that there is one thing he will definitely continue maintaining in the future: his constant desire for growth and self-improvement. “Since my main job is being a singer, and I’m someone who has always considered growth and improvement to be the most important things. I think I’ll probably stay the same”, he continued.
Jungkook’s simple yet sincere answer quickly received positive reactions from fans around the world. Many agreed that no matter what age he reaches, Jungkook will always keep the same beautiful nature he has shown over the past 15 years. Countless fans also became emotional thinking about how they have grown alongside Jungkook — from the days when he debuted as a 15-year-old teenager to now, as the idol prepares to enter his thirties.
Meanwhile, there was another interesting conversation about Jungkook’s age not long ago during his interview with Rolling Stone. Brian Hiatt revealed that he had witnessed George Harrison — the youngest member of The Beatles — struggle with always being treated as “the youngest one” even after becoming older. Because of that, he wondered whether Jungkook ever felt the same way now that he is entering his thirties while still being the “maknae.”
However, Jungkook immediately denied it with a relaxed smile: “No, I like being the youngest.” He even further emphasized how much he enjoys his role as the youngest member by repeating once again: “I’ve always felt very comfortable feeling like the youngest. That’s how I feel now”.

In the end, whether Jungkook is 30, 40, or even 60 years old, he will always remain BTS and ARMYs’ beloved Golden Maknae. Fans could not help but share their happiness after hearing Jungkook speak about this topic:
