Jungkook of BTS began his journey to become a huge global popstar as a teenager when he auditioned for a small company in South Korea. He was grouped with six other young men who would become his role models and, together, they formed BTS — the biggest K-pop group in history. Now, eleven years later, Jungkook is ready to share his own story as a solo artist.
I Am Still follows the making of Jungkook’s first solo album, GOLDEN. With hits topping both Western and Korean charts, GOLDEN cemented Jungkook as a leading global pop star. Known as BTS’s golden maknae, Jungkook stepped out of his comfort zone to create an album that connected with a wide audience, proving his limitless talent.
The documentary highlights Jungkook’s dedication to self-improvement and growth as an artist, showcasing his ambition and desire to be recognized for his versatility. With praise from the producers who worked with him, I Am Still makes one thing clear: everything Jungkook touches turns to gold.
If you want to experience Jungkook’s vocals and performances up close, be sure to catch I Am Still at a cinema near you. The film takes you behind the scenes with Jungkook—in the studio, on stage, in rehearsals, and filming his music videos. One of the most emotional moments of the documentary is when his manager cuts his hair, marking the beginning of his mandatory military service. Watching it on the big screen will make you feel even more connected to his journey.
There’s no doubt that Jungkook is leaving a lasting mark as an artist, and as an ARMY, it fills me with pride to see him grow and conquer the world with his sweet voice and incredible personality. If someone deserves the world, Jungkook is definitely this someone.
Thank you, JK for sharing this journey with us. 9 months until we have you back and we’re counting each day.
