BTS Jungkook Shares Candid Views on Relationships and Marriage
Jungkook is back in the spotlight, but not for new music—dating rumors linking him to aespa’s Winter are buzzing again.
The BTS star’s love life sparks fresh curiosity, especially since the group rarely talks about romance nowadays. Fans remember Jungkook once openly shared some of his ideal type and romantic dreams.
Back in 2017, Jungkook confessed IU was his ideal type.
“Do you have any girlfriend?”
“No I don’t.”
“Do you have someone on your heart?”
“Me? Ah.. I have ideal type.”
“Who is she?”
“IU Sunbaenim”

Rewinding further, during BTS’s rookie days, Jungkook revealed his wish to experience a movie-like kiss, referencing the 2012 Korean film Love 911.
In a movie called 반창꼬 (Love 911), there is a scene where the movie character lifts up his girl with both hands and kisses her. I want to experience that at least once before I die.

He also shared a quirky belief tied to the anime Your Name, thinking he’d hear bells ring when meeting his soulmate.
