BTS’s Jungkook Called Himself “Hyung” And Nobody Can Handle It

It’s finally happened. BTS‘s Jungkook called himself “Jungkook-hyung” for the very first time!

Back in 2013, fans never thought this day would come. Jungkook debuted with BTS at the tender age of 15, and for six years he was the youngest member of his group and Big Hit Entertainment.

When TXT debuted on March 4, Jungkook officially lost his status as the company’s maknae and became an older brother to TXT. Fans eagerly awaited the first public interaction between Jungkook and his TXT dongsaengs, and it finally happened on March 7.

On March 7, TXT tweeted the first ever TXT x BTS group photo, along with a sweet message.

바쁜 시간 내서 저희에게 좋은 말씀, 진심 어린 조언 많이 많이 해주신 선배님들께 진심으로 감사합니다ㅠ 부끄럽지 않은 후배 될 수 있도록 열심히 하겠습니다! 사랑합니다 선배님들❤️#방탄소년단 #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER #BTS #TXT pic.twitter.com/AmANJRBqfG

“Thank you so much to our seniors who took time off from their busy schedules to share good conversations and their sincerest advice with usㅠ We’ll work hard so that we don’t embarrass you as juniors! We love you, BTS #BTS #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER #BTS #TXT”

Soon after, Jungkook replied to TXT. He told them to take care of their health and do well in their promotions. He also called himself…”Jungkook-hyung”!
