When BTS’ Jungkook Was Obsessed With Imitating Old Man Who Called J-Hope “Rap Monster”

South Koren boy band BTS’s member Jeon Jungkook is referred to as the ‘golden maknae’ of the band for his excellence in singing, dancing, and songwriting. Last year, there was an SBS street interview that went viral on the Internet which left both BTS and BTS’ fans popularly known as ARMY in splits. In this interview, an old man was asked to recognize the band by seeing their picture and he went all about it by not just recognizing the band but also naming each member right away. However, his way of referring the band members was hilarious, mostly to Jungkook who cannot get enough of imitating him in recurring interviews.

When Jungkook was obsessed with imitating an old man

In the SBS Interview, the old man recognizes the band by saying “Arent’ they BTS?” and named all the members, and while naming J Hope he said in a stretching tone “Rap Monster J Hope”. This line in particular had left BTS members in splits when they were shown the video clip in an interview. In an interview, while promoting the release of their Wizard of Oz single, Jungkook was asked what would be his nickname, he said ‘Bangtan Sonyeondan’ South Korean expression for their band. However, the fellow member asked him to say in the right way, he answered by imitating the tone of the old man.

Jungkook’s obsession with imitating the old man did not stop there. During the BTS’s 7th anniversary, the Grammy award nominee band was seen having fun modifying their voice with helium balloons. When Jungkook was handed out the balloon, the first thing he said in the thin voice was “okay.. Rrrrappp Monster!” and then “Aren’t you the BTS” imitating their “favorite” fan.
