Junior HYBE Idol Makes Baffling Confession About BTS’s Jungkook
Given how popular BTS is, it’s no surprise anymore when their junior artists name them as role models. Even among their younger labelmates, multiple idol groups have openly expressed admiration for the group or a member. However, when a popular HYBE idol straight-up confessed to crushing over Jungkook, fans could hardly keep calm.
During a recent livestream, BOYNEXTDOOR member Jaehyun made this shocking confession.
After receiving a fan’s request to do a dance challenge with Jungkook, Jaehyun stated that he was unsure if he could do it, adding that he was “cautious” about explaining his reasoning. Regardless, he elaborated, stating that he recently spotted Jungkook in the HYBE building and was left immensely nervous. Even with his back turned toward Jaehyun, he could easily recognize Jungkook, and his hands started shaking from all the nerves. He bumped into Jungkook again in the gym and was left feeling like he “couldn’t breathe.” The rookie idol finally confessed that it was especially hard for him to face Jungkook since he considered the BTS member his “first love.”

This unexpected confession has sparked hilarious reactions on social media, especially given how Jaehyun has often been labelled “Jungkook’s son” for his visual resemblance to him.
