Having joined BigHit Music at the age of 13 or 14 and debuted with BTS when he was just 15, Jungkook spent nearly all of his formative years growing up alongside the six older members of the group. They were not only his family and friends but also the people who helped shape his personality and influence the person he has become today.

Jungkook himself once acknowledged this by saying, “In the way I talk, you can hear all the members. It’s not like I took soмєтнing, it’s more like I was a sponge that absorbed everything,” highlighting just how deeply the members' personalities and characters have influenced the group's youngest member.

So, through Jungkook’s eyes, what are the BTS members really like?

On one occasion, when asked to give a compliment to each member, Jungkook offered remarkably simple descriptions: RM — “so smart,” Jin — “so funny,” SUGA — “so quiet,” j-hope — “so bright,” Jimin — “so cute,” and V — “so attractive.” While these may seem like straightforward remarks, they actually carry much deeper meaning. Each phrase reflects the defining trait Jungkook αѕѕociates with his older brothers—qualities that he has, in many ways, absorbed into himself like a sponge over the years.

For Jungkook, RM has always been the embodiment of intelligence, maturity, and dependable leadership. Since BTS’s early days, RM has guided the group through countless challenges while serving as a role model that Jungkook could look up to and learn from.

As for Jin, he was the one who broke down the age barrier to become Jungkook’s friend. He always played along with the youngest member’s mischievous antics and made him laugh. To Jungkook, Jin is the warm and generous older brother who taught him how to enjoy life rather than take everything too seriously.

Meanwhile, SUGA represents calmness, self-control, and the ability to remain grounded in the face of uncertainty. These are qualities that have clearly become part of Jungkook’s own character as he matured. In contrast, j-hope is someone Jungkook describes as energetic and endlessly positive—a description that few people would disagree with. Naturally, Jungkook has also inherited some of that pαѕѕion and enthusiasm from his older brother.

Finally, Jungkook reserved special descriptions for his two same-age friends within the group. He called Jimin “so cute,” reflecting someone who is gentle, emotionally expressive, and deeply caring toward others. Jimin embo∂ιєs the softness and warmth that Jungkook greatly admires. V, on the other hand, was described as “so attractive.” His appeal goes far beyond his striking visuals. It also comes from his friendly, approachable personality and his ability to make those around him feel comfortable. From Jungkook’s very first day at BigHit to the present, V has been both an older brother figure and one of his closest friends.

Looking at Jungkook’s descriptions, it becomes clear just how well he understands and appreciates each of his members. Every one of them has left a unique and irreplaceable mark on his journey of growing up. At the same time, these remarks further highlight the family-like bond BTS has built over more than a decade together. That foundation of trust, affection, and mutual support has helped them overcome countless challenges and reach extraordinary heights of success. Fans could not help but marvel:

- If you asked Jungkook to describe himself, he'd probably say all of those. This family is so precious—please never let them drift apart

- The fact that Jungkook sees each member through their best qualities says so much about the love and respect he has for them

- The way JK looks up to them explains why BTS is so unbreakable. They’re not just a group, they are a real family

- Jungkook really is the product of 6 hyungs' love and upbringing 

- RM's wisdom, Jin's humor, Yoongi's calmness, Hobi's positivity, Jimin's warmth, and Taehyung's charm. And all is admired and absorded by Jungkook

- It's so heartwarming that after all these years, Jungkook still looks up to his hyungs with the same admiration he had as a teenager

- They spent their youth together, grew up together, and became who they are because of each other. BTS will always be one of the most beautiful found families I've ever seen

- Simple words but they carry so much depth. He knows his members inside out. Their bond is unmatched!
