Words to Live By: Jeon Jungkook of BTS
Jungkook of BTS may be the youngest of the group, but that isn’t to say he isn’t wise beyond his years. Being part of one of the biggest boy groups in music history will teach you a lot.
Jungkook began pursuing his dream at the mere age of 15, and has since gone on to conquer every aspect of being a performer. His vocal ability, powerful dancing and being an all-round performer has given him the title of ‘Golden Maknae‘, loosely translated to “golden youngest”.
That title may come with pressures of its own, but through the years, Jungkook has navigated his path with grace and maturity. Here are some of the gems he’s shared with us on the way.
