On the latest episode of Point of Omniscient Interfere (also known as The Manager) on April 15, Sung Hoon talked about his recent sparring match with actor Im Si Wan. During this, he was asked about Jungkook, since he was known to have sparred with him before. And this was what he had to say about the BTS member’s boxing skills!

Jungkook… He’s actually good. I was surprised. I think, if he were to really put his mind to it, he could easily debut as a professional. He’s that good.
And he takes his trainer with him to concerts. He practices before he goes on stage and whatnot. So he’s something else. Jungkook is not playing around.

It seems that the golden maknae of BTS really can accomplish pretty much anything he puts his mind to. Maybe someday we’ll see him in MMA competitions himself!
