So, during his interview at PICKCON, he revealed his true feelings about this label. Jungkook explained while he is grateful, he is also embarrassed.

I’m very grateful and very embarrassed to be called a global pop star. except, I want to make sure that the singing, the dancing, the music, everything is perfect. I want to create my own color, so I do a lot of vocal practice on my own and monitor mysef to see where I need to improve. but I still feel like I have a lot to work on so I have to work harder.
