In recent days, BTS‘ Jungkook appeared on the Rolling Stone cover for the January edition and even gave an interview where he opened up about what inspires him these days ahead of his group’s comeback.
In talks with the magazine, the K-Pop idol talked about his current mindset, his fashion style, his hopes for this year, and more details about his life after years of being away from the public eye serving in the South Korean army.
During their conversation, the magazine also asked about what inspires him currently, and his response was very surprising, as he said, “I wonder if I’m even the kind of person who gets ‘inspired.’ I’m very realistic, so I often find it fascinating when people are inspired by small things.”
“It’s not really about inspiration for me; it’s more like what I think about…hmm…focusing on…what’s on my mind. I don’t know. It’s more about what I care about. And for me that’s ARMY and then my surroundings, people around me, and the things I naturally get drawn to. That’s where I get my inspiration.”
