Jungkook
Jungkook is once again making headlines but this time, it's not for his music. The BTS star has gone viral for his surprising culinary skills, earning praise from fans after a heartwarming "200-cookie" story surfaced online.
The revelation came during a recent interview where BTS members answered some of the internet's most searched questions. When asked about his cooking abilities, Jungkook shared, "I learned a lot of knife skills in the military," hinting at how his time in service helped him sharpen his kitchen expertise.
His bandmates were quick to back him up. J-Hope remarked that Jungkook is "really good with a knife," while Jimin recalled how dedicated he was to improving, even joking that "there was a lot of blood" as he practiced.
Beyond formal training, Jungkook also revealed that he is largely self-taught. "I like doing things on my own, so I learned by watching content," he said, highlighting his hands-on approach to cooking.
What truly captured fans' attention, however, was a story shared by Suga. He revealed that Jungkook recently baked around 200 Dubai-style chewy cookies and personally distributed them to staff members. The gesture quickly went viral, with fans praising the singer for his kindness and dedication.
Jungkook himself added, "I'm planning to make them again tonight," further delighting fans with his enthusiasm for cooking.
The members also noted that cooking has become a regular part of Jungkook's daily life. J-Hope shared that he often makes pasta, while Suga said, "Whenever we gather, he's cooking by himself." V added, "When you go to Jungkook's house, he cooks for you," painting a picture of the singer as the group's go-to chef.
Jungkook's culinary talents are not new to fans. Over the years, he has gone viral for experimenting with recipes, from unique noodle dishes to homemade comfort food, often inspiring fans to recreate his meals.
His cooking journey also traces back to his military service, where he reportedly worked as a cook, further honing his skills.
As fans continue to celebrate this softer, more personal side of the global star, one thing is clear Jungkook's talents go far beyond the stage. Whether it's music or cooking, he continues to impress, proving why he remains one of the most beloved members of BTS.
