On May 9, 2024 (ET), South Korean actor Park Yeong-gyu praised BTS' Jungkook for his vocals. The veteran actor appeared on MBC's popular talk show, Radio Star, presented by Kim Gook-jin, Kim Gu-ra, Yoo Se-yoon, and Jang Do-yeon.
The hosts of the program asked Park Yeong-gyu if he would give his "chameleon" status to any young singer. He responded by mentioning Jeon Jungkook, the youngest vocalist and composer of the K-pop group BTS. The actor further expressed his wish to have Jungkook sing for him someday.
"I'm a real fan of BTS. When I first heard BTS songs, I had a feeling they're gonna be a hit. In fact, in terms of popularity, BTS is like the Beatles. Also, Jungkook, when he performed at the 2022 Qatar World Cup... wow the singing and dancing. I really liked it. He is a true chameleon. I would appreciate it if he could sing for me!"
