BTS has always been a fun-loving group, right from its inception to even now, when all the boys are off-killing it in their solo ventures. More recently, Jungkook, the youngest member of the group, has been having a 'golden' time since the release of his solo debut album. Since the time the album was released, ARMYs and the rest of the world have been heaping praise on the Golden Maknae for the sheer brilliance of the album. Jungkook made one of his most recent appearances on 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon, where he even taught Jimmy the hook step to 'Standing Next To You'. He truly has everyone in the world up and dancing. Now, Jungkook has opened up in a different way in an interview. 


Now, Jungkook has opened up in a different way in an interview. Being the youngest member in the band, starting out at a mere age of 16 years old, his experience has been a lot different than the rest of the members. He says, "It's been more than ten years now, my memories are a bit sketchy." Who could blame him? becoming a worldwide sensation at 16 years old is a phenomenon that doesn't happen to everyone.

Talking about the BTS boys, Jungkook says, "But I would say we were not that cool. Of course, at the time, the other members looked so cool to me." The rest of the band members have always been like a mentor figure to Jungkook, guiding him whenever necessary and always being there for him but it has been over 10 years since the band debuted, recalling those days, he said, "But honestly, I still can't watch the footage from when we first debuted or even from a few years later. It makes me feel cringe and embarrassed. I'd think if only, what if? I'm thinking, if only I could have some of the emotions I feel now."

Now that all the BTS members have come into their own, it's evident that their music style is very different to one another Reflecting on that, Jungkook expressed,"I wonder if there would be the BTS that we know today. We had that raw vibe for sure. It was just the seven of us all lacking something, but then trying to make it work just by ourselves. I think we are where we are today because of those days of being together and trying to make it work."

ARMYs immediately took to the comment section to voice their opinion about this:

"I am listening to a JK who is so mature but at the same time a little brother remembering and missing his family JK is gold and in part it is the example that his older brothers and himself gave them," one fan wrote. 

Another user commented, "That's BTS. "All lacking in something" yes the rawness of 7 person what we always like. Nobody is perfect and our 7 boys naturally show us their imperfections. Oh my god I can't explain how much I love them."

"All this makes me wanna sing "just how fast the night changes" we're actually seeing the more mature version of each member as time is passing by!! I can't help but keep all those as memories as a fan!," read another comment. 

"exactly..... They get where they are now because of those experiences...if they have known better they wont be the BTS built with strong armor and now.... Still grateful they through phases that shape them from who they are now :)," wrote another user.
