"They say good food is eaten twice. Once with the eyes, once with the mouth. But Jungkook goes beyond that."

A short "mukbang" video posted by BTS member Jungkook after completing an official event has sparked buzz among overseas fans.

Jungkook attended the opening ceremony of "Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence," a commemorative exhibition marking the 65th anniversary of British high jewelry brand Graff, held on the 11th in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan, in his capacity as the brand's global ambassador. On that day, Jungkook shone with Graff jewelry, matching a black suit with sparkling earrings, rings, bracelets, and a necklace.

The exhibition is a retrospective looking back on the history of Graff, which started in London, UK, in 1960, with the "Infinity T-ARA," set with a 157.80-carat heart-shaped diamond, as its core exhibit. A "Graff Cafe" was also set up at the venue.

The buzz came immediately after the event. Jungkook uploaded a video of just over one minute to the fan community platform Weverse. In the video, he revealed that he had not eaten anything for 39 hours leading up to the event, and then introduced the snacks from the Graff Cafe that he had received at the venue one by one. After curiously observing how to eat them, he could no longer resist and tasted the snacks, showing an excited demeanor as he said he would go have a proper meal soon.

With over 30,000 related posts flooding X in response to Jungkook's appearance of savoring food with wide-open eyes, X featured it as a real-time trend.

Overseas fans expressed delight, saying things like "My cute gourmand" and "Look at how his whole face lights up thinking about eating delicious food. His expression is so cute." The fan who posted the "food eaten twice" quote in the introduction wrote, "For Jungkook, eating is a complete experience of happiness and a great gratitude for life." There were also fans welcoming the video with comments like "I missed you so much."

Jungkook was appointed as Graff's global ambassador last July. The contrast between his appearance as a "world star" adorned in luxurious jewelry and his childlike joy in front of snacks right after the event ended drew attention.
