From emotional dramas to timeless rom-coms, Jungkook shares his favorite K-dramas, anime, and films! Do you have similar tastes to the BTS star? Read on to find out!
When Jungkook from BTS celebrated his birthday on September 1, he picked his favorite K-dramas, which he enjoys watching when he gets some very rare downtime, from heartfelt classics that will move you to tears to the more upbeat animations. His picks, such as the emotional hit Twenty Five Twenty One and the Studio Ghibli classic Spirited Away, offer a unique look at the stories that move him beyond music.
Jungkook's Top Anime Picks
As a well-known anime fan, Jungkook offered a slight glimpse into the stories that have captured his imagination since he was young. His top film is the iconic Studio Ghibli classic Spirited Away, a movie that held a special place in his heart as a child and even made him dream of becoming the character, Haku.
Beyond his love for fantasy films, Jungkook enjoys sports anime like Free!, which follows the competitive world of high school swimming. For fans of darker genres, he and fellow member Jin have also recommended the sci-fi horror series Parasyte, known for its suspenseful plot about alien parasites, and the Dojeon team agrees, as this is a film that has taken off and helped K-movies become globally famous.
WARNING TISSUES AT THE READY—Emotional Films on the Singer’s List
Onto the more emotional stories from the singer now. So Jungkook mentioned that I Give My First Love to You, a tragic romance about a childhood promise.
Another favorite is Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. This story deals with a group of friends reunited by a ghost. The Korean film Love 911 also made a strong impression. Jungkook specifically praised a famous kiss scene from the movie. He expressed a desire to try it himself one day. Could these emotional rollercoaster stories be some of the inspiration behind his love of music and telling stories through catchy melodies?
Ultimately, his recommendations—from the nostalgic drama to the emotional anime Spirited Away—show that the stories that shape him are ones of perseverance, humanity, and a passion for life itself. For us, here at Dojeon, we are interested in the star's personal preferences for animations through to emotional choices, as they show a softer side of the star that we don't often get to see.
