BTS is generally known for rarely appearing on variety shows either as a group or as members. Especially, in later years, the group almost don't participate in such programs.
Therefore, when starting solo activities, the members all said that those who participate in the program with BTS often feel they cannot be natural or comfortable. Even the members can't show all their sides on variety shows. While some think that the group has not yet adapted to other shows that are not produced by Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ themselves, Jungkook gave an other answer that made ARMYs think a lot.
It seems that unlike the other members, Jungkook used to have a bad experience with variety shows, so now it's hard for him to get used to such shows:
It is known that BTS is famous as a group that does not often participate in variety shows. While other K-pop groups are actively participating in variety shows to promote their music or reputation, BTS only participates in national television interviews or organizes content on their own. entertainment content.
This is inherently formed by some regulations from Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ such as they strictly control the recording content made by 3rd parties that are not produced by the company itself. Therefore, it was rare to see the members appearing on variety shows until recently when the group started doing solo activities and choosing content that they loved.
While there are many members who have participated in many different types of shows, Jungkook seems to be the most quiet member. Many ARMYs have been curious as to what he will do during his upcoming promotions and what kind of reality show he wants to experience. But it seems like it might be hard to see Jungkook doing variety shows alone.
This is concluded because during a conversation with ARMYs, Jungkook received a question whether he will debut on ḳöŕệän variety shows or not? It's probably been a long time since ARMYs haven't seen him participate in such shows since his debut.
After that, Jungkook thought for a bit and slowly replied that he would have a hard time participating in such shows on his own. Specifically, he replied, "Variety shows.. Would I be able to do it well? For Run BTS, I can do it comfortably because I'm with the members but going on a variety show by myself might be a bit hard. Because I'm really shy".
ARMYs probably all agree that when Jungkook is with his hyungs, he can show a lot of his personality and cheerfulness. He also seems less shy and is most of himself when the members are around to support him.
Not only that, perhaps because he has been active in a group for nearly 10 years, just participating in a variety show makes Jungkook feel strange. Of course, it's soмєтнing that not only Jungkook but the members seem to be too. But Jungkook is more timid because he doesn't have as much experience as his hyungs.
Furthermore, some ARMYs remember that Jungkook had bad experiences with reality shows before when he was just a teenager. Typically in the reality show "Flower Crew" - one of the rare times before Jungkook came to the show alone.
Jungkook at that time just turned 20 years old but had to experience the contempt from others. It was in the situation that he was very polite and thoughtful when he bought burgers for the members of the show as a greeting for the first meeting. But some people on the show deliberately ignored Jungkook when he offered them a meal.
Even actor Jo Seho was very rude not to let everyone in the crew eat hamburgers and said that he bought leftovers here. The male artist then asked Jungkook to throw away all the burgers because they didn't want to see the food anymore.
Maybe because he's still haunted by that unpleasant experience, he doesn't want to go on shows alone. ARMYs also understand that and feel completely fine even if Jungkook is not on such shows!
