Behind BTS’s phenomenal success today, the quiet support and encouragement of their families, especially their parents, cannot be overlooked. From their early days as young trainees with uncertain futures to becoming some of the biggest K-pop superstars in the world, their families have always been there, watching over them, cheering them on, and giving them strength along the way.

Their parents are also their biggest fans. Fans often spot the members’ parents attending BTS concerts, particularly almost every show held in South кσяєα, whether it is an individual member’s solo concert or a group performance. Another memorable example came from j-hope’s father, who once surprised fans when it was revealed that his car playlist consisted entirely of his son’s Jack in the Box album. j-hope’s older sister even jokingly admitted that their father practically knew all the lyrics by heart.

In return for all that love, BTS have always shown themselves to be devoted and filial sons. ARMY also have immense affection and respect for the people who raised the idols they love. However, there is no shortage of moments when these superstars revert to being mischievous children at home, humorously exposing their parents’ little secrets, much to the delight of fans who love hearing these everyday family stories.

One of the more recent public “exposés” involving their parents came from Jimin and Jungkook while they were in Busan, South кσяєα, for the group’s concert. Surprisingly, being back in their hometown did not make them any more reserved. Instead, they seemed even more comfortable jokingly calling out their mothers.

During a broadcast with Jungkook, Jimin humorously "exposed" his own mother in front of millions of fans, saying: "You guys use your phones a lot, aren't you? How many of you are here? HUH?!?! 3.7 MILLION! Seriously, you people live on your phones all day… you guys must be scolded! I even tell my mom all the time, you won't be able to look up normally!"

Interestingly, the very next day, Jungkook followed in Jimin’s footsteps, taking advantage of his time onstage to personally “expose” a little secret about his mother. During a segment interacting with fans, he casually revealed that his mother had attended BTS’s concert celebrating the group’s 13th debut anniversary.

Rather than simply greeting her, the singer delighted everyone by saying, “I think she'd like if I mentioned her, so… are you watching well?” His playful delivery made Jungkook himself and the members around him burst into laughter, while tens of thousands of ARMY in the stadium immediately responded with enthusiastic cheers.

As Jimin and Jungkook took turns doing this, fans couldn't help but laugh at how the two Busan-born stars seem to share the adorable habit of telling stories about their parents in the cutest way possible.

Meanwhile, returning to Jungkook, shouting out his mother on stage appears to be soмєтнing of a habit for him, as this was far from the first time he had done so.

During the promotions for his debut solo album Golden, he also mentioned her on stage, saying: "From the golden rain in a precognitive dream from my mom… Say it one more time! My mom is here." When the entire au∂ιєnce shouted, "Thank you, Mom!", Jungkook immediately smiled with satisfaction and happily remarked, "My mom will surely love it." The way Jungkook talks about his mother suggests that these moments are not merely playful teasing but also another way for him to express gratitude to the person who has always stood behind him and supported his career.

Fans have also pointed out that Jungkook's mother frequently attends BTS concerts and performances in South кσяєα. She is well known for her warm and friendly personality, often giving candy or wet wipes to fans she meets. Actress Ko So-young even once shared that she had received candy from Jungkook's mother and could not bring herself to eat the last piece, choosing instead to keep it as a souvenir.

On the other hand, although Jimin’s mother rarely makes public appearances, she is known for being deeply devoted to her family and children. When BTS returned to Busan to perform, she and the rest of the family prepared traditional кσяєαn sweet rice cakes along with some snacks for Jimin’s father to bring to the members and share with them in the waiting room before they took the stage.

Some fans who have had the chance to meet her at the family-owned café in Busan have also praised her kindness and warm personality, qualities that are believed to have been pαѕѕed down to Jimin as well.
