A few weeks ago, BTS maknae Jungkook accidentally revealed his private TikTok account to the world. Initially, he told fans that since the account was for monitoring purposes, he would no longer use it.
But eventually, he changed his decision and turned it into his official account. Fans were elated when he posted a “Seven” dance challenge video with SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu on the account.

But the most amusing part of his TikTok presence has been the videos Jungkook has been interacting with. From memes on his “Seven” track to funny edits of himself and his members, every content he liked sent ARMYs into a laughing fit.

The recent TikTok that Jungkook interacted with, however, is different. Cho Jo Hyeon, a TikToker who is also a music producer and the CEO of Bean Entertainment, posted a video analyzing Jungkook’s vocals, addressing some of the common criticism thrown his way.

ARMYs are impressed by how Jungkook’s comment showed both his confidence and his humility.
jungkook is very lovely. we can see that he’s not the type to be defensive towards any input. he’s open if it’s for his improvement but also, at the same time, he’s so self-assured. he really knows what he’s doing. man is humble and talented.

Jungkook is so humble yet self-assured. he knows what he’s good at & areas to improve & “only those who want to want to listen to him sing will listen to him”. he knows there are those who love his voice (ARMY) n he sings n improves for himself, his loved ones & ARMY only
