BTS (BTS) Jungkook revealed his aspirations as an artist by revealing his changed life attitudes and strict self-management routines after serving in the military.

In an interview with Rolling Stone UK released on the 3rd (local time), Jungkook confessed his inner thoughts and future in "Jungkook: No Limits."

"Jungkook, 28, looked back on his journey from the youngest to a solo artist, shared his self-care routine of keeping himself healthy, and revealed how his time away from music rekindled his passion," Rolling Stone UK said in an interview on X (Twitter).

"One meal a day diet...""That one meal is a sense of accomplishment"

Jungkook is currently under strict health care. "I'm on a diet these days, so I eat only one meal a day," he said. "So I'm really looking forward to that one meal." "What should I eat today?" I wait patiently. I finally feel a sense of accomplishment when I eat," he said.

He maintains a regular routine, doing aerobic exercises every morning and evening. "It's more important to do something consistent than to try hard once," he said. "This routine changes how you treat people and how you treat food. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and confidence that I kept my daily routine," he explained.

Interestingly, he doesn't listen to music when he works out. The reason is that I prefer to focus entirely on myself.

"I should love myself more" ...a time of introspection

Jungkook gave an unexpected answer to the question, "Do you feel closer to yourself these days?" "Honestly, I don't think I'm that close to myself yet," he confessed honestly.

"But hearing this question made me realize that I have to love and take care of myself more," he said. "Exercising and maintaining a healthy habit, that's part of my routine of loving myself."

a different philosophy of life after serving in the military

Jungkook confessed that his attitude toward life has changed significantly before and after serving in the military. "My thoughts have changed before and after my military service. His attitude toward time has also changed, he said, "I try to avoid things that are harmful to the body. I used to drink, but now I'm trying to restrain myself. I want to use and cherish my time more meaningfully," he said.

He is also focusing on health care. "I'm paying more attention to my health before and after my military service," he said. "I'm doing a lot of physical activities such as badminton, bowling, and jogging."

Confidence from the success of "Seven"

"It was the most important and special moment of my career," Jungkook recalled of his solo debut song "Seven." "Thanks to that song, I've been able to keep working until now," he said. "Seven made me want to start again."

"I loved it so much and performed with confidence, but I didn't know how good it would be, but it was amazing," he said of the success of "Seven," adding, "The reaction gave me greater confidence."

After the release of his solo album "GOLDEN," he honestly admitted that he still feels regretful. "After releasing the solo album 'GOLDEN', there were parts I wanted to do better in both singing and performance," he said. "But that regret is the motivation to work harder and develop."

"I want to be an artist without limits"

Jungkook expressed his anticipation for BTS' comeback album preparation. "Now I'm preparing for the upcoming BTS comeback album with the members," he said. "I'm really looking forward to the next BTS comeback album, promotion with the members, and meeting ARMY (BTS fandom) again."

As for his solo career, he said, "I want to learn more about dance, especially street dance, and I want to develop it," indicating that he will continue his new challenges.

Jungkook said, "I've always pursued change," adding, "I want to be an artist who makes a flow, not an artist who is dragged by the flow. I don't want to be trapped. I want to be an artist without limits," he said.

International fans expressed deep emotion at Jungkook's honest interview on social media such as X. One fan responded, "It's amazing how you talk about yourself so honestly," and another praised him, saying, "After serving in the military, I can see more maturity and self-reflection."

Meanwhile, Jungkook was selected as the first protagonist of a pictorial project co-hosted by the three-country editions of Korea, Britain and Japan for the first time in Rolling Stone history in December last year, and he was the first Korean solo artist to decorate the Rolling Stone UK cover. The full interview will be available on the Rolling Stone UK website, and physical magazines have been out of stock in pre-orders in December, and will be available offline from the 8th.
