The golden maknae (youngest) of BTS, Jungkook is considered to excel at almost everything he attempts — singing, dancing, rapping, sports, art, cooking. He grew up essentially inside BTS as he joined at 13 and has evolved from shy youngest member to a confident, multitalented performer who handles almost any creative task.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family

Born in Mandeok-dong, Busan. Grew up in a middle-class family with one older brother (Jeon Junghyun). His parents were supportive of his decision to audition for BigHit and move to Seoul at age 13, though the distance was emotionally difficult for the family.

Closest family member: Older brother Jeon Junghyun — Jungkook has spoken about missing his brother and looking up to him; the two are visually similar

⏮ Before Debut

Jeon Jungkook grew up in Busan and showed artistic talent from a young age. At age 13 he auditioned for Superstar K (a Korean talent show) without success, but was subsequently scouted by seven entertainment agencies. He chose BigHit solely because he was inspired by watching RM perform. He moved to Seoul at 13 and essentially grew up inside the BTS dorm, with the older members acting as family figures during his formative years.
