BTS’s Jungkook shuts down dating rumors, opens up on ideal type and what matters now
BTS’s Jungkook addressed the flood of dating rumors head-on in October 2023, making it clear he is single and laser-focused on work.
Everyone, I don’t have a girlfriend. I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m not meeting anyone. I only want to work, so I don’t feel a need to. Stop talking about it! I don’t have one! I don’t have one so just stay still! I don’t have one
— Jungkook
Jungkook rarely talks about romance, but when he does, it’s memorable. He once described his ideal girlfriend as someone with a healthy body, toned muscles, pretty legs, intelligence, and competitive spirit. Being good at singing and cooking also makes the cut. He even named singers IU and actress Emma Watson as close to his type.
He also shared a specific romantic fantasy: a kiss scene from the movie Love 911, where the character lifts his girl with both hands and kisses her. He wants to experience that at least once.
In a movie called 반창꼬 (Love 911), there is a scene where the movie character lifts up his girl with both hands and kisses her. I want to experience that at least once before I die.

When asked about dating in a wide-ranging Esquire interview with Dave Holmes, Jungkook gave the blunt truth: they simply don’t have time.
I ask about dating, broad questions like ‘Are you?’ and ‘Is there time?’ and ‘Can you?’ and the answer to all of them is pretty clear: ‘No.’

The most important thing for us now is to sleep.
