BIGHIT Music’s choreographer Son Sungdeuk also referred to BTS’ Jungkook as ‘genius’

In addition to Pdogg, BIGHIT Music's choreographer commented on the BTS member, describing him as a "genius." He emphasized the hardworking spirit of the BTS member by disclosing that he stayed till the last during rehearsals for stage concerts and solo performances.

“For every concert, Jungkook was always the last to leave rehearsals, practicing his solo performances. He’d practice his vocals even more for group songs. He’s the scariest person in the world because he’s a genius that puts in the work.”

In the process of producing his debut album, Jungkook shared reflections on his self-discovery. He revealed that he had not initially honed any certain dance form, nor did he possess a distinctive dance style. the idol continued by saying that he discovered he could learn a lot without even noticing after he began with choreography.

“Since I hadn't learned one specific genre of dance, I started with choreography. And after just doing choreo for a while, I felt like I was neither getting better nor worse. I didn't have my own style. I felt like I didn't have my own unique dancing style in the past. I tend to learn a lot of things without realizing it.” Jungkook stated.

The docuseries includes unseen behind-the-scenes clips, interviews, and the complete recording of his GOLDEN live stage performance.
