Jungkook is often known as BTS’s maknae, the youngest member of the group. Because of this, many people tend to think of him as someone who receives more care and attention than someone who is good at taking care of others. However, the reality shows that Jungkook was raised well and has grown into a warm and considerate person.

The story below, shared by a restaurant owner who is a close neighbor of Jungkook’s family, offers a glimpse into this side of the idol. Having witnessed Jungkook’s life from childhood to adulthood and watched him grow into the successful artist he is today, the owner believes that Jungkook’s admirable qualities could make him a wonderful father in the future, much like his own dad.

The neighbor in question is Yoon Jae, the owner of Gopchang Salon in Busan, a restaurant that Jungkook and his family frequently visited!

When asked about Jungkook, he had plenty of praise for the singer. “I’ve known Jungkook since he was born. He was known as a handsome boy as early as fifth grade, and the neighborhood la∂ιєs would often say, ‘He should become an idol.’ He was very polite and had a real talent for drawing from a young age.” He also emphasized that Jungkook had attracted attention since childhood, especially from the girls in their neighborhood.

Notably, the restaurant owner pointed out a habit Jungkook has maintained from childhood to this day: his love for children and his enjoyment of playing with and cuddling little ones. According to the owner, whenever Jungkook visited the restaurant, he would spend time playing with the children. He was gentle and loved joking around with them. The way Jungkook playfully interacted with his younger brother and held little children in his arms back then is just the same as it is today.

Yoon Jae remarked, "He jokes around with his brother and he holds kids (in his arms) since he likes them. He's still the same Jungkook as he was when he was little".

The restaurant owner also shared how he felt seeing Jungkook both onstage and in person. He revealed that he had attended a concert in Busan as a spectator and "feel proud seeing him performing on a big stage. But when Jungkook's plays around here hasn’t changed since he was little".

Jungkook may have undergone many changes in appearance and fame, but his true nature seems to have remained the same. His handsome looks, talent, and kind personality make him seem like the ideal boyfriend, husband, and even father. Fans couldn’t help but gush over him:
