BTS Jungkook’s Classmate Reveals Shy Habit That Led to Him Being Bullied in School

Jungkook’s Former Classmate Reveals Why He Hid His Eyes Behind Bangs in School

A netizen claiming to be a former classmate of BTS’s Jungkook recently shared a surprising story about the idol’s school days. According to the post, Jungkook often covered his eyes with his bangs during class, leading some students to wonder if he had an eye injury.

The classmate explained that Jungkook lived with his fringe over his eyes, which sparked curiosity among peers. One day, a teacher intervened and made Jungkook move his hair aside. That’s when everyone noticed just how beautiful his eyes really were.

“There’s really not much to say. He was seriously handsome lol.
He used to walk around with his bangs covering his eyes, so people would be like, ‘Does he have something wrong with his eyes?’
Then one day a teacher made him show his eyes , and wow, they were gorgeous.
I still remember it vividly.
Later I heard that his eyes were so pretty that people kept talking about them, so he started covering them again.
So when you look at photos of him, all you really notice are his eyes.”
