Jeon Jungkook, known for his mononym Jungkook, is a South Korean singer and vocalist of the K-pop boy group BTS.
Jungkook has earned many titles throughout his career in the music industry, from “Golden Maknae” to “Sold Out King.” But none can compare to the new title he recently bagged, People Magazine's “Sexiest International Man,” where he beat international stars like Dan Levy, Keith Urban, Matthew Rhys, and Paul Mescal.
In celebration of his new title, allow us to list why Jungkook deserves to be called the sexiest.
Whether he is a cute little bunny or the hottest man alive, there's no denying that ARMYs can't resist Jungkook's charms.
Anyone would go berserk whenever Jungkook flaunts his perfectly chiseled six-pack abs while performing “Fake Love.”
Whether he's wearing an all-leather outfit or a red-leopard print combo, Jungkook can instantly snatch away any girl's heart.
Need we remind you of the time when he flawlessly sang Bruno Mars's “Finesse” in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke segment?
How about that time Jungkook proved he was athletically gifted when he outran his competitors to the finish line in the 4x100m relay in the Idol Star Athletic Championships (ISAC) for three consecutive times?
Jungkook earned the title golden maknae when he proved his strength in Korean traditional wrestling or “ssireum” in the 2015 ISAC, alongside members Jin and V.
Being in charge of the laundry in their dorm, Jungkook shared that his favorite laundry item would have to be a Downy. Since his announcement, the fabric softener immediately sold out, and no one in Korea could get their hands on it, not even Jungkook himself! The power this man holds!
Jungkook is also quite the trendsetter! In July 2019, Korean media reported that Jungkook made the “Modern Hanbok” a fashion trend in the Korean entertainment industry. Other Korean celebrities including Jun Hyun-moo, Jang Do-yeon, and Gong Hyo-jin followed his footsteps.
In mid-2019, Jungkook was also hailed by Google as the most-searched K-pop idol, and we understand why.
Aside from fashion, fans love it whenever Jungkook plays with his hair. Whether it's a triangle gimbap or pushed back to a man bun, we all can't deny this man's beautiful visuals.
Regardless of bias, every BTS fan was whipped to their core after seeing Jungkook in a see-through outfit for their performance of “Black Swan” during the group's latest online concert BTS MOTS ON:E.
We stan talent, and Jungkook is never short of one. Apart from his mad vocals and charismatic dance moves, this BTS member also pursues his other passions, including directing and editing videos.
Fans always go “uwu” whenever they see Jungkook wearing a cute onesie. But nothing beats the iconic time when BTS member V posted a photo of Jungkook wearing a Pikachu onesie and called him “Kookachu.” How adorable!
BTS fans are always blessed whenever they see Jungkook with glasses. Is it just us, or he gets more handsome each day? Our purple hearts keep falling for him.
Call us old fashioned, but any man who can flawlessly wear a suit like Jungkook can steal our hearts.
There are just some photos you can hear, and this includes Jungkook's laughter.
Seriously, is there anything this man can't do? We were all Kim Namjoon after seeing Jungkook's mad painting skills in BTS's In The Soop. Are you the reincarnation of Bob Ross, Jungkook? Let us know!
The secret to Jungkook's six-pack abs lies in his love for exercising. He sometimes asks his hyungs (older brothers) to join him as he does his daily fitness regimen.
Nothing is sexier than seeing your K-pop idol be a total fan whenever he meets his role models, especially his ultimate, singer IU. In one of his interviews, he revealed that he learned how to play the guitar because of the Korean singer. Or what about the time he confessed IU is his ideal type?
Whether it's learning how to speak English or making sure his performance is close to perfection, Jungkook's passion for improvement is commendable.
For years, BTS had only one official Instagram account for their band's promotional content. Finally, in 2021, each of the seven members joined Instagram with their individual accounts.
Jungkook initially had the username @abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz, the letters of the alphabet without J and K which are Jungkook's initials.
Jungkook has changed his username to a simple one, @jungkook.97 with 97 presumably pertaining to his birth year. He was born on September 1, 1997.
In June 2022, Jungkook released his collaborative single with Charlie Puth titled "Left and Right" which received much success in music charts.
Jungkook made history when he performed his song "Dreamers" at the 2022 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony on November 20, 2022.
He also broke records when his song "Dreamers" became the fastest rising K-pop song to be used on TikTok videos, surpassing 1 million videos in 16 days!
Jungkook became the #1 in the list of Top Male Soloists in the 2022 Year-End Genius Korea Chart.
