BTS’s Jungkook Has Three Official Positions In The Group And The Last One Might Surprise Some
BTS’s Jungkook is known as the ‘golden maknae’ because he is good at basically anything!
His official positions include main vocal, lead dancer, and sub rapper…yes you heard right! While long-time ARMYs know that Jungkook has rapped in the past, newer ARMYs might be surprised at the news.
Previously, Jungkook revealed that he had taken lessons for rap before. “Did you know that I learned rap before too? I don’t think my brain was ready for it back then. If I were to learn it now I don’t know…I think I could do it but I don’t think I would be that good.”
🐰 저도 랩 배웠던거 알아여? 랩은 그때 제 머리로는 할 수 없었던거 같아요 지금은 랩을 배우면 모르겠어요.. 하~알 수는 있을 것 같은데 잘하지는 못할 것 같고..

BTS’s rap teacher Yankie, however, thought differently. “I taught Suga, J-Hope, and Jungkook often. There were many times I was shocked at how fast Jungkook was able to absorb everything.”
Let’s take a look at Jungkook’s rap skills from debut to the present!

Although Jungkook’s solo rap lines have decreased since his debut, fans are always happy to hear him doubling with the other members during live performances.
