When Jungkook first joined BigHit Music, he was only a 15-year-old kid. He spent all of his formative years living alongside the BTS members, so the six of them are not only his family and friends, but also the people who helped shape his personality and influence the person he is today. In other words, each of them holds an incredibly important place in his life.

With each of his hyungs holding a unique and irreplaceable place in his heart, choosing just one “favorite hyung” would be impossible. That is why when Jungkook was asked which hyung in the group he liked the most, he seemed quite flustered and eventually concluded, “They are all good to me.”

Still, if the question is narrowed down to a more specific aspect—such as which member he usually turns to when he wants to open up about his worries—Jungkook can give a more definite answer. It is also worth noting that this does not mean the members who were not mentioned are any less important to him. Rather, each member simply plays a different role within the group. In fact, Jungkook’s choice is also an answer shared by all the BTS members when they talk about one another.

Specifically, in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, the interviewer asked him, “Which member do you consult the most about your concerns?”. Upon hearing the question, Jungkook immediately named RM and Jimin. And for longtime fans, this answer came as little surprise.

RM’s role as BTS’s leader has never just been a title. He has long been known for his leadership, wisdom, and experience when it comes to handling difficult situations. Not only Jungkook, but most BTS members — and even HYBE juniors — have turned to him for advice whenever they struggled. TXT members Yeonjun and Soobin once revealed that they personally visited RM’s home to seek advice during their early debut years. More recently, Taehyun also shared that he went to RM when he felt anxious about renewing his contract with BigHit Music.

Jungkook himself previously revealed how much he relied on RM emotionally before his solo performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. At the time, he confessed: “I’ll be really nervous there. I’ll be really nervous going abroad without the members. I need to rely on Namjoon. I’m completely alone without Namjoon.”

Meanwhile, Jimin is often seen by the members as the “healing source” of the group. RM once shared: “Although he is younger than me, he is very mature… I am always ѕнσ¢кed at his word choices and the way he talks. He is very personable and I receive healing when I am with him.” j-hope echoed the sentiment, saying: “Although he is younger than me, he really has the charisma of a hyung. He really has a big plate, and as big as that plate is, he can accommodate so much. Truthfully, his willingness was what I am most thankful for. He played a big role in relieving my stress.”

One gives him rational advice and clear direction, while the other provides comfort and emotional healing — Jungkook clearly knows exactly which safe spaces he can lean on whenever he feels anxious or uncertain. In particular, fans were deeply touched by Jungkook’s expression and eyes while talking about this topic. They suddenly realized that even though he has grown up, he still fully enjoys the privilege of being the beloved youngest member protected in the arms of his older brothers.

Fans quickly flooded the viral clips with emotional comments such as:

- And RM goes to Jimin for support, same as Yoongi! I wanna have what they have!! Their bond is soмєтнing else!

- Almost all the members run to minimonie when it comes to worries. My SEVEN family

- It's obvious that when it comes to career worries, JK will always consult RM first. He trusted him and will always look up for him. Jimin, with his kind heart, will always have a listening ear for every member. He is a reliable emotional support per Suga and Namjoon.

- RM, the person he admires the most and jimin being the emotional support for the entire group. Awwww

- One gives him strength, the other gives him warmth. Our maknae knows his safe places

- BTS really built a family where each member becomes a safe place for another member. That’s so beautiful

- Namjoon carrying the role of leader for over 10 years and being the person everyone relies on… he deserves the world

- You can tell Jungkook feels safest around them. Even after all these years he still looks at his hyungs with so much trust

- Moments like this remind you they genuinely became family a long time ago
