Even brand Twitter was lovin’ it!

3. His reaction to a rebellious button

Jungkook went viral for a wardrobe malfunction during PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE. His button buckled under pressure and popped off!

A fan brought this up during an Instagram Q&A, and Jungkook had the best response.

Q. What should I be doing right now?
A. Let’s go look for Jungkook’s button that ran away from home. Hehe.

4. Challenge accepted!

Jungkook has been sharing his boxing journey on Instagram, showing fans his progress with short video clips. In the comments for one of these videos, V challenged Jungkook to a match, and he wasn’t about to back down!

V: Let’s do some sparring soon.

J-Hope: Will you be fine? Hahahahahaha.

Jungkook: Come on in (and let’s fight).

V: If you use a little bit of your waist for hook too and if you move a bit more of center of gravity from left to right for upper, it’ll be fine.

Jungkook: Whenever, (let’s) go!

V: I use Adesanya’s technique so I won’t leave any distance. I’ll use my foot boom while you inhale and then I’ll take a shot to your liver boom ha.

Jungkook: Everyone has a plan.

5. The cat incident

After BTS’s PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE — SEOUL concert, Jungkook got flirty with fans on Instagram. When a fan hit on Jungkook by asking if he would like to eat ramyeon with them (a euphemism like “Netflix and chill), he updated their slang.

Nowadays they say, ‘Do you want to come to see my cat’…hehe

6. No boyfriend? Not his problem.

During a Q&A, an ARMY jokingly blamed Jungkook for their dating troubles. “I like oppa so much that I can’t get a boyfriend,” they wrote. “Are you going to take responsibility for it?”

10. Dancing away the ‘Rona

Jungkook tested positive for COVID-19 shortly before BTS performed at the GRAMMYs. Thankfully, his symptoms were mild, and he spent his quarantine entertaining fans by dancing in his room.
