BIOGRAPHY

The Story of Jung Kook

The youngest member and the group's most versatile performer. Jung Kook was 15 when BTS debuted, and watching him grow up in front of the world has been one of ARMY's most emotional journeys. He can sing, rap, dance, produce, draw, and apparently do anything he sets his mind to β€” hence 'Golden Maknae.' His solo debut 'GOLDEN' broke records globally, and his FIFA World Cup performance introduced him to a billion new fans.
