This one is known to only fossil-age ARMYs by the way.

13. When he joined BigHit, he was shorter than Suga
Now he easily towers over him at 5’10”. That explains why Suga had a meltdown realizing that Jungkook is an adult now.

15. He got in trouble as a child for cheating on a test
The way his mother handled the situation explains why Jungkook is such a pure-hearted, balanced adult.
Remember when Jungkook shared that he cheated on a spelling test before and his mom scolded him & said “I don't care if you got 100 or 0 in your tests..But the issue here is that you cheated” .
He grew up so well. Thank you Jeon Mom. #HappyMothersDay
