In BTS’s 2020 docu-series Break The Silence, Jungkook shared how he feels about being the Golden Maknae.
“I envy the image people have of me. People call me the Golden Maknae, but that’s not how I feel, so I have to try harder to make myself appear that way,” he said.
- Jungkook prefers to have videos rather than photos.
In an interview with Weverse Magazine, Jungkook said that he prefers having videos taken of him rather than photos.
“I never really liked having my picture taken. But videos are okay, though,” Jungkook said with a laugh.
- As a trainee, he used to sneak naps in the bathroom
In an interview with Pitchfork, Jungkook said that their schedule was so exhausting that they would all take naps in the bathroom. Those tough days are now fond memories! - He is not an INFP anymore
In 2017, BTS took the MBTI personal test for FESTA. Back then, Jungkook’s type was INFP (the “Mediator” type), but he got a different result when he retook the test this year.
Jungkook revealed his new type: ISFP-A. It is the “Adventurer” type in English or the “Curious Artist” type in Korean. ISFPs are charming, empathetic, adventurous artists with boundless creativity.
