Jungkook GQ Interview Excerpt (8)

GQ: I was struck by a phrase in "Still With You” the one you wrote. It’s “Though we may be out of step.” The usual course would be to suggest to match the footsteps but you just accept they might not align. It was somewhat cool to say so

JK: I wasn't exactly intending to have a cool attitude. But now that I hear it, yeah, it could sound so. When I was writing the lyrics, it was in the middle of the hard times due to the pandemic. We and ARMY couldn’t see each other

JK: Then, Armys might get the feeling that we are farther apart from each other. So, I wanted to say to them ‘Our footsteps may not match, I still want to go along together with Army.’
GQ: You said you want to write lyrics based on complete imagination, going beyond writing

Jungkook GQ Interview Excerpt (7)

GQ: Soon you’ll have to pack again. You always carried a big backpack when you went on foreign tours
JK: Aww, right! But there weren’t that many things in the bag though
GQ: Then how could it have been so huge? So full?

JK: I always need to have lots of storage places. That’s the same when I decorated my room in the dorm. I need to have space ready so that I can put things in it because I don’t know if I’d want to bring something any time. So I get the biggest one when I buy a carrier

JK: I always bring the biggest carrier with me even when I have only a small amount of things to bring
GQ: I was curious what you’d bring with you to the US since you’re going there in 2 years. Now, I’m curious what you’d bring with you in your carrier

Jungkook GQ Interview Excerpt (3)

GQ: When I was preparing for this interview, I kept thinking about this. Suga once said that your job is like going back and forth between the hot bath and the cold bath. And I thought Jungkook you seem to be always in the cold bath
JK: Why?

GQ: It’s like you are endlessly enduring the cold. I mean you are in such a position that you may well get yourself relaxed at a warm place, but you’re constantly going hard on yourself. You cry at concerts because you think you’re lacking. Even now (you speak so)

JK: (Jungkook laughed small)
GQ: I think that’s your grit
JK: I appreciate it that you put it that way. It’s just that I can’t just bear doing nothing. It comes hard on me if I rest for a long time. That is, it gets hard in my mind. So I have to do something, anything.

Jungkook GQ Interview Excerpt (2)

Jungkook used some metaphors to talk about his life and himself. Jungkook said his life now would be at 2AM if he were to position his present self among 24 hours of a day. He said “Because 2AM is an ambiguous hour.”

“For me, it is ambiguous. Because I usually go to bed at 4AM and it’s right at 2AM that I ask myself whether I should sleep or do something. That’s how my life is right now. I have lots to think about. Like what should I do now, and there are some realistic thoughts.”

“So, yeah, I would said I’m at 2AM.”

He then said he would look like a hexagon which is split and cracked, if he were to draw his self-portrait. “I always want to be perfect, I always aspire to go up, and I think that I do have talents for that, but I also consider myself lazy.”
