Jungkook's Hobbies Outside Of BTS Are Just As Impressive As His Angelic Vocals

ARMYs have witnessed Jungkook’s filming and editing skills firsthand through his YouTube video series, Golden Closet Films, which offers a look into BTS’ lives together on the road. Jungkook debuted his first video called "G.C.F in Tokyo," which documented his and Jimin’s trip to Tokyo, Japan, on YouTube in November 2017. Fans loved everything about it, from the star’s choice of music and filters to his editing cuts and close-up angles. They agreed the video made them feel as if they were part of the adventure, too.

Since then, Jungkook has uploaded GCFs from his trips to Osaka, Saipan, Helsinki, Newark, and more.

Jungkook is just one of the members of BTS who are also talented artists. Fans first saw his drawing skills in 2016 when he recreated a painting of Suga that was featured in the group’s “Wings: BEGIN” video. During a September 2018 VLIVE, Jungkook revealed he hadn’t actually considered himself an artist before then, which surprised many fans, considering how naturally talented he is. “I didn’t learn how to draw when I was little,” Jungkook said. “There was a painting of Suga in [the video]. It was gone because it burned in the fire, so I had to recreate it.” Jungkook said that while he couldn’t draw the painting “the exact same way” as the original, he was pleased with how his version turned out.

Through the years, Jungkook’s art skills have only gotten better and better. For example, during the sixth episode of BTS’ reality series In The Soop, Jungkook perfectly recreated the scenery around him in his painting. J-Hope was so impressed he told Jungkook, "Wow! What are you? What's your identity? This is unbelievable. It's so good."

Jungkook has expressed his love for video games time and time again. In fact, he loves them so much he once said if he wasn’t in BTS, he would have been a professional gamer. Jungkook’s favorite game is Overwatch, which is a first-person shooter game that focuses on team-based gameplay. Based on the videos he’s posted of himself playing, he could have totally made it his career.

In April 2019, Jungkook broke the internet when he posted a video of himself practicing boxing techniques with his trainer. He delivered his punches and blocks perfectly. Considering his reputation as the Golden Maknae, as well as his background in taekwondo, it was no surprise he was so good at the sport. He posted another video of one of his boxing sessions in April 2020, revealing he was still keeping up with the hobby a year later.

Big Hit Entertainment has its own gym, which means it’s easy for the members to work out whenever they have time away from the studio. Jungkook is especially dedicated to exercising. While he enjoys building muscle by lifting weights and working the pulley machines, he said his favorite way to work out is without any equipment. “I prefer to exercise with my own body weight. I think it’s important to do it consistently whenever you have time. I think you can maintain a good body just by doing pushups, situps, and squats,” he said during a July 2020 interview with Tokopedia.
