BTS Jungkook’s Hypothetical Self-Portrait Offers Insight Into His Unique Mentality
Artists have immortalized BTS in every medium, style, and aesthetic, but how would Jungkook portray himself?
The Golden Maknae answered this question and more in an interview for GQ Korea magazine. Although Jungkook has a knack for painting lush, realistic pictures, he chose to go abstract for his own hypothetical self-portrait.
Jungkook said he would paint himself as a, “splintered, cracked, hexagon.”
“I always want to be perfect,” Jungkook said. “and I always want to fly higher, and I think I have these great talents, but I also have these thoughts where I’m like ‘I’m lazy.’ It’s very contradictory…”
“I want to keep rising to the top, but I don’t want to at the same time,” he went on. “They say the hexagon is the perfect shape. But then you add a crack and the perfect shape isn’t so perfect anymore. I want to be perfect, but there’s always going to be cracks.”
As for the color, Jungkook would choose a neutral hue like gray because neutral colors connote a double meaning. They can be anything or nothing at all.
