During an interview with Consequence, the members were asked about the backstory of the TikTok Happily Ever After challenge with BTS’ Jungkook. They shared that the idol brought an incredible amount of energy, estimated to be around 300%. They also mentioned how enjoyable and challenging the experience was, and added:

“We tend to be hyped up when we are filming “Happily Ever After”challenges, but Jungkook hyung brought up the energy level, not 100%, but 300%. We had a lot of fun filming.”

The members were later questioned about the origins of the Chasing That Feeling TikTok challenge. They responded by saying they had learned the choreography on the spot and were immediately impressed with the idol’s talent. TXT then praised Jungkook, stating:

“Jungkook hyung learned the chores on the spot on that day, and he was already so perfect that we could just put him on stage right away. I thought again, ‘He’s so legendary.’”

Before long, snippets from the interview showcasing TXT’s admiration for Jungkook’s exceptional dancing abilities quickly spread on social media. Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they shared the members’ compliments and dubbed the Golden Maknae as the ‘Idol Hero.’ It was heartening for the fandom to discover that even younger idols still idolize Jungkook and view him as a legendary figure in the K-pop world.

At the same time, other questions were posed to the TXT members about their album, music festival experience, and more. When asked about their thoughts on the changes since recording minisode 1, the group replied:

“It’s about three years back that we released minisode 1: Blue Hour. It’s been a while, and back then, we were new to the scene and very youthful. Over those three years, I think we’ve become a lot more mature both emotionally and as artists. I believe we’ve come to be able to express a wide variety of emotions while recording. Also, our recording duration has become shorter.”

They further discussed the development between the albums and emphasized that the minisode albums serve as the crucial “bridge”linking the various chapters together.

Recently, on November 3, 2023, Big Hit Music released Golden, the solo debut album of BTS’ Jungkook. The album consisted of eleven tracks, with the leading single being Standing Next to You. Jungkook’s project also included collaborations with notable artists such as Jack Harlow, Latto, DJ Snake, Major Lazer, and more.
