The Intense Diet Plan BTS's Jungkook Followed To Prepare For His Solo Debut

BTS‘s “Golden Maknae” got candid about his intense diet and fitness regime on the latest episode of Suga‘s Suchwita. Whilst getting ready for the release of his single “Seven,” Jungkook revealed that he worked hard to get his body in optimal condition for the high-profile photoshoot that would be released ahead of the track.

Known for his hard rock abs and sculpted physique, Jungkook’s revelations about his dietary habits and workout routine have ARMYs and netizens intrigued.

Ever the great host, Suga kicked off the conversation by asking Jungkook about his current diet routine. In response, Jungkook shared his experience with intermittent fasting, a diet plan increasingly gaining attention for its health benefits.

The 20:4 fasting schedule, where one eats in a 4-hour window and fasts for the remaining 20 hours, is one of the more stringent variations of this diet plan. Despite the tough regimen, Jungkook expressed that he wasn’t obsessive about it, embodying his balanced approach towards health and fitness.

I thought it’d [20:4] be good for me. But I’m not obsessive… I don’t do it obsessively.

Jungkook explained that he chose this method to prepare for his upcoming jacket shoot in the United States and his solo debut with the single “Seven.” This confession clearly shows how dedicated he is to maintaining his form, not just for aesthetic purposes but also to deliver his best performance for the ARMY.

The conversation later shifted to the topic of working out, where Jungkook proudly confessed, “I work out hard.” This statement is no surprise, considering the sneak peek of his chiseled abs we got during the infamous Calvin Klein shoot. A testament to his dedication, Jungkook’s hard-earned physique had Suga and undoubtedly many fans exclaiming, “Wow!”
