Watching him grow, and continue to grow has truly been a pleasure. Regrettably, I haven’t been a fan for as long as I’d wanted to be. But looking back at old clips and seeing our little Jungkookie with the big curious eyes, looking around timidly at the big world around him, and seeing how much he has grown from then always makes me swell up with so much pride. The boy who gave up his youth, his everything, to pursue his passion in performing. The boy who couldn’t even look straight into the camera while singing, the boy who got told he had zero emotions in the way he danced and went all the way with his hyungs to America to work hard and improve. To watch him now, perfect every single move he does, every single note he belts, hell perfect anything he puts his mind to. I’m so immensely proud of how far he’s come, how hard he’s worked, and everything he has made possible through sheer willpower and passion. There’s only so much I, and all of us, can give him, but he truly deserves the world and I’d give it to him in a heartbeat if I could.
Jeon Jungkook, the boy with the purest heart. Despite all the hardships he faced, despite how young he joined the celeb industry, and despite all the things he has seen and experienced that kids his age shouldn’t have. Thank you for always remaining so humble and levelheaded, thank you for always being such a lovely person that always thinks about others first, even if you show it through the smallest actions that most of us don’t even think of. And thank you for continuously showing us so much love and being such a positive influence in the lives of so many of us. I’ll always support you through thick and thin for all the love you've shown me, and all the immense motivation and inspiration you give me.
