BTS Jungkook’s Classmate Reveals A “Shy” Habit That He Was “Bullied” For In School

After following BTS for 13 years, ARMYs know many of the members’ quirks and habits. However, there’s still one that even the most dedicated fans might not be aware of.

Jungkook

Recently, a netizen claiming to be Jungkook‘s former classmate shared an anecdote about his school days. The anecdote recounts how Jungkook would cover his eyes with his bangs during class. According to his classmate, Jungkook lived covering his eyes with his fringe, causing some students to wonder if he had an eye injury.

One day, however, the OP claimed that a teacher made Jungkook move his hair aside, and his classmates were struck by how beautiful Jungkook’s eyes were.

[Title] Even a guy who went to the same school as me is an idol now.

There’s really not much to say. He was seriously handsome lol.
He used to walk around with his bangs covering his eyes, so people would be like, “Does he have something wrong with his eyes?”
Then one day a teacher made him show his eyes 👀, and wow, they were gorgeous.
I still remember it vividly.
Later I heard that his eyes were so pretty that people kept talking about them, so he started covering them again.
So when you look at photos of him, all you really notice are his eyes.

ARMYs are loving this sweet story about the Golden Maknae, who started his idol career as a shy rookie. Now those eyes he used to curtain are some of the most recognizable ones in the K-Pop world!

According to one of Jungkook’s classmates, he used to hide his eyes behind long bangs at school because his eyes were just so pretty that everyone talked about them, and shy Jungkook would spend an hour styling his hair in front of a mirror to keep them covered 😭 pic.twitter.com/rgH62aF7c8
