It’s no secret that BTS’ Jungkook is a role model to many young idols, and ENHYPEN’s Jungwon is no exception. He’s often spoken about how much he admires and looks up to Jungkook, even naming him as his role model in a Teen Vogue interview.
On May 5, Jungwoon, Sunoo, and Heeseung appeared on SBS’ Seri Restaurant, where he talked about the Seven singer once again.
The ENHYPEN leader shared his encounter with Jungkook during his trainee days, and it was a moment that left a lasting impression on him.
During his trainee days, Jungwon had a memorable encounter with Jungkook, who was already an established idol at the time.
He mistook Jungkook for a producer due to his humble greeting. The BTS member, wearing a hat, bowed 90 degrees to Jungwon, leading him to assume he was the producer.
However, when he discovered it was actually Jungkook, he was deeply impressed by his humility and willingness to show respect to trainees with a 90-degree bow.
He thought Jungkook was incredibly cool and amazing for his kind and down-to-earth attitude. It is not new, often, younger idols are seen praising him for his performance skills and humble attitude.
On another note, ENHYPEN is gearing up for a comeback and Jungkook is serving in the military.
