Among the parents of BTS members, it seems that Jungkook's parents are the youngest. Therefore, it is easier for them to understand and support their son's artistic dream and because of that, Jungkook was able to become the idol he is today.
However, because the children in their parents' eyes are never grown up, even if he is a global superstar, his parents always follow and give him advice when feeling necessary. Recently, an ARMY met Jungkook's father at a restaurant familiar to his family and they had an interesting conversation.
In it, this Jungkook and ARMY dad talked about Jungkook's recent livestream and showed how much he cares about his son:
The family of BTS members is rarely revealed to the public and information about them is also protected so as not to be disturbed by haters. However, the stories told about them always make ARMYs eager to listen.
One of them is Jungkook's family stories. Jungkook is said to have inherited most of his beauty from his father, who seems so handsome that his mother fell in love at first sight. In a video uploaded to BTS' YouTube channel in 2014, there was a scene where Jungkook's father was sitting next to him backstage, surprising fans with his relatively young appearance. Although he was 46 years old at that time, Jungkook's father looked so young that many people could mistakenly believe that he was the male singer's brother. Compared to the pictures taken with the Jungkook brothers when he was young, he did not age much.
Recently, an ARMY caught the attention of the fandom when sharing that he had recently seen Jungkook's father at a traditional food store in Busan. Not only that, but these ARMYs also shared her surprise when she saw Jungkook's father and understood why Jungkook is so handsome and kind.
Besides, the experience of talking with Jungkook's father also impressed her. She started by talking about why she went to eat at the restaurant that Jungkook and his family frequented.
Specifically, this ḳöŕệän ARMY stopped by a store called Gopchang Ssalrong in Busan on February 3, 2023 (ie recently) for lunch. If you are ARMYs, everyone probably knows that Gopchang Ssalrong store is a familiar store of Jungkook's family. The owner of the store even witnessed Jungkook's growth from childhood to adulthood.
Gopchang Ssalrong is a famous shop for pork intestines as well as some traditional ḳöŕệän dishes. This is also one of the favorite places of ARMYs when visiting Jungkook's hometown in Busan. This OP said, "Me and Deokme (OP's friend) came here right away because I heard that Gopchang Ssalrong's sweet shop was open to serve lunch... I was ṩḧöċḳed to see Jungkook's father was here too."
She expressed surprise when Jungkook's father also stopped by the store when she got there. Of course first in terms of visuals, she felt that Jungkook's father was handsome and much younger than his 50s. Also she said that Jungkook's dad is in good health and very happy these days and that makes ARMYs feel warm.
Not only that, this ARMY also has to admit that Jungkook has a beauty that blends between his father and his mother. Just by looking at Jungkook's mom and dad, you can instantly tell whose parents they are. So even if no pictures of Jungkook's father are taken out of respect for privacy, one can imagine how handsome his father is.
ARMY also shared that when Jungkook's dad knew she was his fan, he was happy and chatted with them too. Jungkook's father even said that he watched Jungkook's livestream but couldn't finish it because he fell asleep. He also humorously asked OP how many cans of beer Jungkook drank during his livestream.
OP said: "Also, his dad also said that he fell asleep while watching Jungkookie's livestream that day and asked how many beers Jungkookie drank in the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
OP then confessed to Jungkook's dad that he'd finished 2 cans and it looked like Jungkook was going to get some advice from his dad. And this ARMY feels both funny and a little guilty towards Jungkook for that.
This brings back the story of Jungkook many years ago. It was a memory in 2016, when fans caught Jungkookie driving an electric bicycle on the street, then Jungkook's father called to tell him not to ride like that on the street anymore because it was dαngєrous. It was a really cute father-son interaction.
Jungkook's father must have been very worried and concerned about him, so he still tried to watch Jungkook's livestream even though he was late. Not only that, he still takes care of him every day and is extremely friendly with his fans.
Meeting Jungkook's dad experience also made OP's day even better!
