“He’s one a kind” - ARMYs amused as BTS’ Jungkook is reported to have spent 700M KRW on gift packages for fans during Seven & GOLDEN promotions

The show Free Doctor on tVN recently revealed that BTS’s Jungkook spent around 700 million Korean won (approximately $510,000) on gifts for fans. On October 18, 2024, it was reported that he provided these gifts to around 5,000 fans who attended his three music show recordings at Inkigayo, Music Bank, and M Countdown, during his solo era last year.

The gifts included perfumes, cookies, cakes, flowers, and customized merchandise. Fans were astonished by this generous act, expressing their gratitude and admiration for the BTS star's thoughtfulness.

An X user listed many of Jungkook's wholesome and charitable gestures such as donating to a children's hospital, preparing gifts for fans, and performing free shows, and wrote:

"He is one of a kind."

Other fans expressed the same sentiment.

“That's why he deserves all the best things in the world,” a fan wrote.

“JK always thinks of his fans, pays attention and expresses his endless love,” another fan remarked.

“No one can deny that JK remains the most precious and humble human, his love for his fans is unending,” a fan commented.

Many fans were extremely shocked at the amount spent by the idol.

“Wow!!! Jungkook really loves Armys & thats about around 1/2 a Million in USD. Hope Armys will reciprocate his love by supporting in Streaming & Voting in current polls like EMAs & MAMA Award 2024,” a surprised fan commented.

“Always the best for his fans,” another fan claimed.

“Am I seeing this right? Half of a million dollars?,” a fan asked in awe.

BTS' Jungkook expresses love for ARMYs through gifts

Ever since BTS's Jungkook embarked on his solo career, he has consistently demonstrated his generosity towards his fans. He has been the most frequent member to hold Weverse live sessions to engage directly with fans and has also offered fans physical gifts on multiple occasions as tokens of appreciation for their support.

When his solo debut album GOLDEN was released in November 2023, Jungkook performed on major music shows in Korea, including SBS Inkigayo, Mnet M Countdown, and KBS Music Bank. As these performances came just a month before his official military enlistment on December 12, 2023, he made sure to thank his fans in the most heartfelt way by preparing special gifts for those who attended the recordings.

At Music Bank 2023, where he performed his track 3D, he gifted fans Calvin Klein hampers in collaboration with the brand. Each hamper contained one of four different hats, valued at approximately 65,000 KRW (around $48), and an exclusive photo card. The photo card came with a special message that read:

“Our ARMY, whom I want to see in 3D.”

Fans also enjoyed refreshments from a food truck, including drinks, bunny-shaped cupcakes, and macarons, all curated by Jungkook.

For those attending M Countdown, he gifted fans with a special limited-edition perfume inspired by his album GOLDEN. The perfume reportedly came with 24k gold flakes and had notes of tiger lily, suede, and amber. The perfume came with a note:

"Blooming splendidly in a resplendent display, just like the flower language that means ‘LOVE ME.’”

At the SBS Inkigayo pre-recording, fans received hampers filled with handmade treats, such as croissants, pretzels, purple meringue cookies, macaroons with Jungkook's handwriting, and strawberry lattes.
