How BTS’s Jungkook Became a "Master Chef": The Touching Reason He Made 200 Snacks for His Staff

During the interview, the BTS members revealed a heartwarming anecdote: Jungkook recently spent his personal time baking "Dujjonku" (Dubai Chewy Cookie) for 200 staff members.

When asked where he developed such impressive culinary skills, Jungkook credited a surprising source: his time in the military. "I learned a lot about knife skills while serving," he explained. He also shared that his love for solo hobbies led him to teach himself complex dishes through online videos, a habit that has turned him into the designated chef whenever the BTS members gather.

The Members' Testimony: "He Always Cooks for Us"

The members were quick to praise Jungkook's "Son-mat" (the Korean term for a natural touch in cooking). J-Hope mentioned that Jungkook often whips up pasta and other creative dishes, while Suga and V added that whenever the group hangs out at home, Jungkook is almost always the one in the kitchen.
