In the world of K-pop, it is no longer uncommon for celebrities to openly express their admiration for fellow artists. However, the list of powerful and stunning women around the world who have confessed their affection for Jungkook—the “Golden Maknae”—has grown so long that the BTS fandom, ARMY, sometimes jokingly feels… “threatened” about their own place.
From former Miss USA and actress Jessica Ahlberg to prominent Filipino stars such as Shaira Diaz, Liza Soberano, as well as Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, Niana Guerrero, and Indonesian actress Syifa Hadju—all of them have openly admitted that Jungkook is their “ideal type.” It’s no surprise that he has earned the title of a “global IT boy.”
Recently, Jungkook has once again become a hot topic on social media following his return with BTS and their fifth studio album “ARIRANG.” No woman seems immune to his charm after his military discharge—including Miss Universe кσяєα 2022 Hanna Kim. In fact, a rather amusing situation even unfolded between her and ARMYs, all because of Jungkook.
Specifically, on March 25, Hanna Kim shared a screenshot on Instagram showing a post by ARMYs compiling evidence that she had liked a series of Jungkook fancam videos from the “ARIRANG” concert at Gwanghwamun on March 21. Notably, one fan left a teasing comment: “She ain’t special, I did that too,” implying that Jungkook’s appeal is simply irresistible—and that, in terms of being a fangirl, even a beauty queen is no different from any ordinary girl.
Not stopping at simply reposting the joke circulating about her, Hanna Kim even embraced the comment, adding her own caption: “We are in this together,” effectively acknowledging that the fan’s remark was completely accurate.
In fact, Hanna Kim’s status as a “true ARMY” has long been confirmed. In a “1-on-1” interview segment, when asked about her favorite K-pop group, she did not hesitate to answer: “My favorite k-pop band is BTS. I'm an ARMY. I'm a huge fan of BTS. I love their songs, their performances, and also what they speak for. So they actually speak for a lot of people, for suffering, for ℓσѕт hope. When I was having a hard time in my life, their songs gave me hope. So I love them."
On the other hand, ARMYs teasing Hanna Kim after exposing her “liking spree” of Jungkook fancams comes as no surprise, as they are well aware that Jungkook is her bias and are already familiar with the many times she has “flexed” her love for him over the years.
Hanna Kim once chose Jungkook as the celebrity she would want to have dinner with if given the chance during another Miss Universe interview. In a livestream with Miss Universe Cambodia Manita Hang, she even showed off her phone case featuring Jungkook’s English name, along with his photo as her wallpaper, calling it her “lucky charm” throughout her journey at the 71st Miss Universe pageant. She also follows the singer’s personal Instagram account.
When Jungkook released his solo track “Standing Next To You,” Hanna Kim continued to show her support by posting a photo of him from the music video on her Instagram (which has over 300,000 followers), along with a short caption: “The only one,” expressing her deep affection for her idol.
Hanna Kim’s latest reaction has once again won over ARMYs, sparking a wave of entertaining responses within the fandom:
