BTS's Jungkook on the Difference Between His 20s and 30s: "I've Developed a Cautious Mindset"

Group BTS brought cheerful laughter to fans worldwide during their 13th debut anniversary dinner by opening up about the unexpected charms of the members in their 30s, contrasting with their 20s.
On June 10, BTS released a video titled "BTS Dinner Party 2.0 #2026BTSFESTA" via their official YouTube channel, "BANGTANTV." Gathering in one place, the members engaged in frank and unfiltered conversations over a delicious meal.
During the broadcast, V, who served as the MC, drew intense attention by tossing a sharp question to the members. V asked, "What is the difference between the current BTS, who have grown through the hiatus due to military service, and the fresh BTS in their 20s before enlistment?"
In response, the members honestly shared the shifts in their mindsets as they aged. Jungkook recalled, "I think my thoughts have changed. In my 20s, I was completely unstoppable and had no shyness when it came to work." However, referring to the present, he confessed, "These days, I've subtly developed a more cautious and self-conscious mindset."
Jungkook further explained, "Now, when monitoring after shooting a music video or video content, I find myself subtly walking on eggshells, thinking, 'Do I look really bad right now?' or 'Should I take better care of myself to look better?'" revealing a cute side that pays extra attention to visuals and fine details unlike in the past.
J-hope added, "I feel incredibly grateful just to be promoting like this. Every single moment becomes precious."
Upon watching the video, global ARMY (fandom name) showed enthusiastic responses, commenting, "BTS in their 30s is still so precious and cute," and "A cautious BTS is so adorable—I can totally picture them diligently monitoring themselves."
Meanwhile, BTS is connecting with fans worldwide through "2026 BTS FESTA," commemorating their 13th debut anniversary, and is demonstrating the majesty of K-POP kings by successfully carrying out their world tour.
