Vogue Korea: You used to say you didn't know why people loved you. But you've changed your mind recently, acknowledging that people do love you and that there must be a reason. You even said that this change happened abruptly yet naturally. Did this change impact you in any way as a person and as an artist?

Jungkook: I've become more candid about everything and everyone around me. I'm truly grateful to the ARMY [the BTS fandom].

When asked about his driving force that motivates him to pursue his personal goals despite public attention and scrutiny, Jungkook immediately answered, "ARMY." He explained that everything he does is for the fans and he hopes to make them proud.

That driving force is undoubtedly the ARMY. I believe I'm here for my fans, who love, support, and patiently wait for me. So I want them to feel proud and special because of me. It's true that I feel a lot of pressure, but the more pressure I feel, the more I need to act naturally and be myself, I think.
