Jeon Jungkook is The Youngest Member of BTS

Before he became one of the most famous singers in the world, Jeon Jungkook was a little boy born on 1st September 1997. His birthplace is South Korea’s second-most populous city, known as Busan.

He hails from a family of four, including his parents and an elder brother. Jungkook had a relatively ordinary childhood and aspired to be a badminton player at some point. However, that dream derailed after watching several performances of a famous South Korean rapper and singer, G-Dragon.

Jungkook was mesmerized by what he saw that he was inspired to become a singer. He began honing his skills in earnest. At the age of 14, he auditioned for the South Korean talent show Superstar K. He did not make it to the show finals but did enough to impress several entertainment companies who courted him to sign with them.

Jeon Jungkook eventually signed on to Big Hit Entertainment and, after a series of dancing and singing training, he debuted as a member of BTS in 2013. This was at the age of 17, and he was the youngest member of the band. This unnerved him, but he nevertheless went on to pull his weight.

His singing and dancing contributions to the group have helped them become the global sensation they are today. BTS has topped the Billboard charts on several occasions and won nine Billboard music awards. They also count hundreds of millions of fans globally. Their fans are collectively known as The Army, and they obsessively follow whatever the group does.

They have also been known to embark on various acts of kindness and charity in the group’s name. Asides from his collective work with BTS, Jungkook has sung three solo songs. He is also known for dropping beautiful covers of songs by other artists.

He has Stolen the Hearts of Fans with his Lean Physique and Eight-Pack Abs

The singer is 5 feet 10 inches (1.78m) tall, while his weight is listed as 65 kg (143 lbs.). This makes for a lean, tall physique, and it is further complemented by a chest, waist, and biceps size of 38, 30, and 13 inches, respectively. Asides from his tall, lean physique, another thing that has Jeon Jungkook has going for him is his killer abs.

The singer has developed an eight-pack over the course of several years, and this elicits various steamy comments from fans whenever he lets them have a glimpse. One of the first times that fans caught a good look at Jungkook’s abs was when he debuted with BTS in 2013.

At that time, he was only about 16 years old, and his abs weren’t so defined. It, therefore, caught only some small attention. Jungkook’s abs will cause some stir again in 2016 after he was captured, showing them off to a group of fans who had come to support him and his bandmates at the Idol Stars Athletics Championship 2016.
