Mini bio
How it started.
Jung Kook grew up in Busan and auditioned for Superstar K as a young teenager. Although he did not make the show, agencies approached him. Seeing RM rap helped him choose Big Hit, and he moved to Seoul to train before debuting with BTS in 2013.
Finding his voice.
Within BTS, songs including “Begin,” “Euphoria” and “My Time” gave listeners different sides of his voice. He also helped produce “Magic Shop.” Beyond singing, he explored filmmaking through Golden Closet Film travel videos and directed BTS’s “Life Goes On” music video.
A solo chapter.
His 2023 single “Seven,” featuring Latto, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That November, GOLDEN brought together 11 tracks, including “3D” with Jack Harlow and the retro funk single “Standing Next to You.” He curated the record around different styles and the changing emotions of a relationship.
Back together.
After completing military service in June 2025, Jung Kook returned to group work with BTS. Their 2026 album ARIRANG, Gwanghwamun Square comeback performance and world tour opened a new chapter together. Fans also saw his travels with Jimin in the second season of Are You Sure?!.
