He doesn’t speak about it much, but when he does, it’s memorable.
Over the years, BTS‘s Jungkook has rarely spoken about dating and what he would like to experience. Here are those few occasions.
1. His ideal type
Jungkook once shared that his preferred traits in a girlfriend are someone with a healthy body, toned muscles, and pretty legs. He also shared that he wants to be with someone intelligent. Being great at singing and cooking are also traits that Jungkook would want in a girlfriend. Jungkook is quite competitive, and he would like to be with someone who is equally as competitive. Jungkook would also want his ideal girlfriend to be shorter than him.
If he were to name celebrities close to his ideal type, they would be singer IU and actress Emma Watson!
2. The kiss scene he would like to experience
In an interview, Jungkook was asked if there’s a scene from a movie that he would like to experience in real life, and he spoke about a kiss scene from the movie 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.

3. Revealing what’s more important than dating at the moment
In an interview with Esquire‘s Dave Holmes, the BTS members were asked a few broad dating questions, and they gave the same answer to each one.
I ask about dating, broad questions like ‘Are you?’ and ‘Is there time?’ and ‘Can you?’ and the answer to all of them is pretty clear: ‘No.’

Jungkook shared that sleeping is more important to them, implying that they don’t have the time to date.
The most important thing for us now is to sleep.

4. Personally speaking about his dating rumors
In October 2023, Jungkook felt compelled to personally speak up about dating rumors that were spreading online.
Everyone, I don’t have a girlfriend. I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m not meeting anyone. I only want to work, so I don’t feel a need to. Stop talking about it! I don’t have one! I don’t have one so just stay still! I don’t have one
