late into the night, perfecting their moves and correcting each
other's mistakes. Jun Kook revealed that Jimen never tires of

a mentor in his life. Jung Kuk also revealed how

on him. At such moments, Jimen is the first person
who is always there for her, providing moral support and

people around him, and that is one of the things

is often one of the main draws in BTS performances.

he is today. Not only that, Jung Kuok also recalled
the times when they went through difficult times together. As

Their closeness is not just an ordinary friendship, but a
relationship that has been forged by time, struggle and a
common dream. Since before the debut, the two have had
a close relationship. Jun Cook, who is only fifteen at
the time, often felt awkward in a new environment. He
is the youngest member, a teenager who must adapt to
(10:33):
a much larger world than he knew before. Meanwhile, Jimen,

who also experienced many challenges in his vocal journey, comforted
Jun Cook by saying that everyone has their own journey
(11:18):
and the most important thing is to keep trying. Those
simple words had a huge impact on junk Kook. He
realizes that he does not need to become perfect overnight,
but the most important thing is to continue to develop
and become better than before. Aside from training, Jun Cook
also recalled how Jimen helped him in dealing with the
mental pressure that came along with their fame. Once BTS
(11:41):
began to gain wider attention, the pressure felt by the
members grew even greater. As a magne, Jun Cook often
feels burdened by high expectations from fans and the public. However,
in such moments, Jimmen was always present for her. In
the interview, Jun Kook revealed that there were many nights
where they just sat together, talking about everything from their

with each other. Jun Cook also often praised Jim In publicly,
especially about his dancing and vocal talents. He once said

most unique and emotional he had ever heard. For him,
hearing Jimen saying is not only a musical experience, but
(13:10):
also an emotional experience that can touch anyone's heart. Not
only in personal interactions, their relationship is also very strong
in the professional aspect. As the two main performers in BTS,
they often share the stage in various iconic performances. The
choreography they do together is often in the spotlight, showing
(13:31):
how they can collaborate so naturally and harmoniously. John Kook
revealed that Jimmen was one of the people he always
relied on when they had to create more complex choreographies.
They understand each other's rhythms, which makes their every move
feel more synchronous and dynamic. Diane addition, jun Kook also
recalled the moments where they had to go through tough
(13:53):
challenges as a group. One of the most memorable was
when BTS almost broke up before achieving their huge success.
At the time, many members felt unsure if they could
continue to stay in the industry. Jun Kook recalled how
Jimmen was one of the people who went to great
lengths to keep the group going and provide motivation to
all the members. For him, seeing Jimen's spirit in maintaining
(14:16):
BTS is something very inspiring. That was one of the
reasons why he felt that without Jimen their journey might
not be what it is now. Jun Kook also mentioned
how Jimmen always tries to make everyone around him feel comfortable.

world tour, during which they often experienced extreme fatigue. In
(14:37):

making sure that they keep smiling despite being exhausted. Junk
Kook feels that Jimen's positive energy is something that is
very valuable in their group. Point one of the most
emotional moments Junk Kook shared in his interview was when
they celebrated a birthday together. Jimen, who has always been
(14:58):
known for his attention to those closest to him, often
prepares small surprises for Junk Kook on his birthday. For
Junk Kok, this is one small example of how Jimmen
has always shown his affection with actions, not just words.
Such simple things made Junk Kook feel that Jimmen really
thought of him as family. Their friendship is also evident
(15:20):
in the way they talk about the future. In his interview,
Jun Kuk said that he hopes to stay close to
Jim and even after they are no longer active as BTS.
He imagined that one day they could sit together reminisce
about all the memories they had gone through and still
be a part of each other's lives. Jung Kuok not

(15:41):
someone who will always be in his life no matter
what happens in the future. As the interview neared its end,

this time in a more emotional tone. He said that
without Jimmen, he might not be the person he is today.
Junk Kook feels that Jimmen has given a lot in
his life, whether in the form of moral support, inspiration,
(16:04):
or sincere friendship. For BTS fans, the relationship between Jun
Kouk and Jimmen is not only heartwarming but also proof
that true friendship can survive in the midst of the
pressures of the entertainment industry. They have been through so
much together and their relationship continues to grow stronger and
stronger over time. Jung Kouk realizes that their journey as
(16:27):
a group may one day come to an end, but
he is confident that his friendship with Jim And will
remain eternal. At the end of the interview, Jun Kook
closed with one simple but meaningful sentence, Jim and Hung,
thank you for everything. With those words, jun Kouk not
only showed his gratitude but also confirmed how important Jimen
(16:50):
is in his life. This is proof that sincere friendship
can survive in the midst of any challenge, and that
a relationship built on mutual respect and support will always
have a special place in a person's heart. Over time,
the relationship between Jun Kook and Jim And grew not
only as coworkers but also as brothers. They've been through
(17:11):
so much together, from the rough days before their debut
to the glorious moments when BTS reached the pinnacle of
global fame. Jun Kook continues to assert in his interviews
that Jimmen is an irreplaceable figure in his life, someone
who not only provides inspiration but also becomes his place
to lean on in various situations. For Junk Kook, Jimmen
(17:33):
is not only a senior who first entered the idle world,
but also a mentor who always provides motivation. Jun Kook
recalled how Jimen always provided input on his vocals, especially
when they were preparing ballads that required deep emotion. Jim
and Hung always told me that singing is not only
about technique, but also about feeling, jun Kook said. He
(17:55):
taught me how to connect emotions with songs so that
the message we want to convey can be truly felt
by the listener, not only in music, but also in
everyday life. Jung Kook feels that Jimen is a caring person.
Jung Kook recalled one moment when he suffered a minor
injury due to too intense exercise. At that time. Although
(18:18):
all the BTS members showed concern, Jimen was the most
anxious person. He made sure Jung Kook got the right
treatment and didn't let him train too hard until he
fully recovered. Jim and Hung always treated me like his
own sister. He noticed me in little things, something that
others might not realize, Jung Kuk said diy An addition,
(18:38):
Jung Kook also talked about how they support each other
in difficult times. Along with the success they achieve, the
pressure is also getting bigger. Many expectations have to be met,
both from fans, companies and from themselves. Jung Kook revealed
that there were times when he felt very tired and
almost lost motivation. However, Jim and was always there to
(19:00):
give her a boost. I remember one night when I
felt so overwhelmed. I just sat quietly in the rehearsal
room trying to calm my mind. Jim and Hung came
and sat next to me without saying anything. He was
just there and that was enough for me. Jun Kook said.
It is such simple moments that make their relationship so special.
(19:22):
Jung Kuk felt that with Jimin's presence, he could be
himself without having to pretend to be strong all the time.
Many people see me as someone who is always cheerful
and full of energy, but few know that I also
have a lot of worries. Jim and Hung is one
of the few people who truly understand me, he said.
Not only behind the scenes, their interaction on stage also
(19:45):
shows how close their relationship is. When BTS performs, there
are many moments where Jun Kook and Jim In exchange
smiles or share meaningful eye contact. They often make small
improvisations while dancing together, such as adding extra moves or
even just laughing together in the middle of a song.
When we perform on stage, I always feel comfortable if
(20:07):
there is Jim and Hung beside me. I know that
if something goes wrong or I get nervous, he will
always be there to cover up or help me, jun
Koch said gratefully Diann addition, Jun Kok also revealed how
much he admires Jimn's hard work. Jim and Hung is
a person who is never satisfied with his achievements. He
always wants to be better, always strives to improve himself.
(20:31):
That's something I really admire, jun Koch said. He always
comes early for training, always evaluates himself and makes sure
that he gives his best at every opportunity. This attitude
also makes Juhn Cook encouraged to work harder. I learned
a lot from her, not just in terms of dancing
or singing, but also about how to be someone who
(20:53):
is disciplined and committed, she added. Not only in career,
their relationship is also close in personal life. They often
spend time together outside the group's schedule, whether it's just
eating together or traveling to their favorite places. Jung Kok
recalled how Jim and always tried to make him laugh
when he was stressed. Jim and Hung is a very
(21:14):
humorous person. He always had a way to make me
feel better, even on the most tiring days, Juhn Koch
said with a smile. Jung Kok also talked about how
they had many unforgettable memories during the world tour. One
of the most memorable for him was when they had
one day off amid a busy schedule and decided to
go to the beach together. It was one of the
(21:36):
best moments of my life. We just sat on the sand,
watched the waves and talked about the future. At that time,
I felt very peaceful here calls. However, their relationship was
not always smooth. Like siblings, they have also experienced disagreements.
Jung Kok admitted that there were times where they had disagreements,
(21:58):
but it never lasted long. We used to fight over
little things like who should take a shower first, or
whose food was eaten without permission, jun Kuk said with
a laugh. But in the end we can always finish well.
We know that our friendship is much more important than
small differences. At the end of the interview, Jun Kook

reiterated his gratitude to Jimen. I can't imagine my journey
in BTS without Jim and Young. He is one of
the most precious people in my life, he said in
a serious tone. He's not just a friend, he's family.
Jung Kuk hopes that their relationship will remain this strong
even when they are no longer on stage together. I
(22:39):
want us to keep supporting each other in life, no
matter which direction we take later. Jung Kuk also talks
about how he wants to repay all the kindness Jimen
has given him. I want to be able to be
the person who can also support him like he always
supported me. If one day he feels sad or needs
someone to listen to him. I want to be the
first one to be there for him, Jung Kuk said sincerely.

and Jimen is. This is not just a friendship form
due to work, but a relationship that has passed various
tests and remains solid over time. Junng Kook mentioned Jimmen's
name three times, not without reason because for Jung Kook,
Jimmen is a very meaningful figure in his life, someone
(23:24):

again confirmed asterisk asterisk Jim and Hung, I'm so lucky
to know you.
