How Suga’s Father Invented The Ideal Nickname For Jungkook

BTS’s Jungkook got a new sweet nickname from an unexpected source: Suga’s dad.

The nickname “Soondoongie” means a pure and gentle person. Fans learned this during a special BTS online pajama party held at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 200 ARMYs joined a cozy Zoom meetup where BTS answered questions and shared TMIs.

The nickname fits Jungkook perfectly, given his soft-hearted and kind nature.

Fans also discovered more personal facts: Jungkook eats samgyeopsal (pork belly) when feeling down, enjoys whiskey, has tossed out his guide for the song “Magic Shop,” and dreams about songwriting.
