Everyone knows that from a young age, Jungkook always dreamed of pursuing a career in music. At the age of 13, he participated in Superstar K3 in hopes of finding an opportunity to become a singer. Although he did not advance far in the competition, his performance caught the attention of several major entertainment companies — and he eventually debuted as an idol after meeting the members of BTS.
Since beginning his idol career with BTS at the age of 15, Jungkook has achieved countless unprecedented accomplishments — both as a member of the group and as a solo artist. The mαѕѕive global success of his first solo album GOLDEN clearly proves that he was born to become an exceptional singer.
Even renowned music director Son Ji Myoung — known for KBS productions like Walking Into the World and Mountain Video Album — praised Jungkook, calling him “the best singer in South кσяєα.” Compliments from such a respected and knowledgeable figure only further highlight Jungkook’s immense musical talent and affirm that he has chosen the right career path.
But have you ever imagined what Jungkook might have become if Big Hit Music had never discovered him that year, or if he had never met RM and debuted with BTS? Jungkook himself has also imagined what his life might have looked like had he not followed his current path, honestly revealing his thoughts during an interview with New Zealand radio host Zane Lowe.
During the interview, Jungkook did not hesitate to accept Zane’s compliment about his refined aesthetic sense. He even added that he might have gone into design or drawing. The idol also mentioned that he might have chosen sports as another path if he had not become an idol. Specificially, he said: "Yes, I really relate to that because when I look at different arcнιтectural building when I travel aboard, I really impressed by how different they're around. I think I could possibly see myself going into design or drawing somehow or go into sports".
Even as one of the world’s top K-pop superstars, he still harbors the desire to further develop in that direction. He continued and explained: "I definitely want to study drawing sometime in the future. I have a weak spot for creative work".
However, this statement sparked strong reactions from fans and netizens — many of whom could not understand how Jungkook could remain so humble after creating so many artistic works, both in music and visual art, throughout the years. He is not merely talented; he genuinely possesses remarkable sкιℓℓ and creativity despite never receiving professional training.
Fans recalled moments such as when Jungkook painted a breathtaking landscape during BTS In the Soop. At that time, j-hope was so amazed that he exclaimed, "What world are you from?". RM exclaimed "Bob Ahjussi", implying that Jungkook is as talented as Bob Ross - a famous αмєяι¢αn painter. Fans were equally in αωє, as the painting’s harmony and realism went viral on social media — few expected an idol to possess such remarkable artistic talent.
ARMYs have also highlighted many other examples of Jungkook’s artistic and creative expression: from customizing j-hope’s shoes, to drawing SUGA’s portrait, to designing the cover art for Seesaw x I Need U Remix — not to mention the visual and musical artistry embo∂ιєd in his solo releases like GOLDEN. These are living proofs of his boundless creativity as a multifaceted artist
At the same time, fans deeply admire Jungkook’s humility and his constant desire to grow when he talks about improving his creativity. With such a mindset, ARMY firmly believe that no matter what field BTS’s golden maknae chooses to pursue, he will always shine brilliantly!
