Actor Kim Ji Hoon is getting attention for his sweet confession—he’s a huge fan of BTS’s Jungkook, and he’s not afraid to show it!
On May 15, Kim Ji Hoon appeared as a guest on a YouTube video posted by the channel Pixid. During the interview, he opened up about his love for K-pop and his longtime support for BTS.
“I don’t think there’s anyone who knows the history of K-pop better than me,” he said confidently. “From Park Nam Jung to groups like Kiki and Hearts to Hearts, I’ve been following K-pop from the very beginning until now. I’m basically a living witness to its journey.”
He went on to share, “Every weekend, I watch music shows. I always check who’s debuting, who released a new track, and who took 1st place that week.”
Among all the idols he’s followed, Jungkook from BTS is the one who stole his heart.

“I’ve been watching BTS since they were just Bangtan Sonyeondan, before they became global stars,” he said. When asked who his favorite member is, he didn’t hesitate, saying, “For me, it’s absolutely Jungkook.”
Kim Ji Hoon even mentioned one of Jungkook’s standout stages: “Didn’t he perform with Usher? He totally killed it.”
But then came a moment of sadness for the actor, who added, “Right after that, he went to the military. If he hadn’t gone to the army then, I really believe he would have performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. That’s something I’m personally really sad about.”
His heartfelt words show just how much he admires Jungkook—not just as a fan, but as someone who truly believes in his global potential.
Meanwhile, Kim Ji Hoon is currently appearing in SBS’s fantasy historical drama The Haunted Palace.
