BTS member Jung Kook is once again going viral \u2014 not for music, but for his unexpected \u201cgenius cook\u201d side.<\/p>\n

A video titled \u201cBTS answers the most searched questions on the internet\u201d was uploaded Monday to the YouTube channel, WIRED, where Jung Kook revealed a surprising detail about his culinary skills.<\/p>\n

Asked where he learned to cook, Jung Kook said, \u201cI learned a lot of knife skills in the military.\u201d<\/p>\n

His bandmates quickly backed up the claim. J-Hope said, \u201cHe\u2019s really good with a knife,\u201d while Jimin added, \u201cHe cut himself a lot. There was a lot of blood,\u201d highlighting Jung Kook’s effort to improve his knife skills.<\/p>\n

Jung Kook said he also taught himself by watching videos, explaining, \u201cI like doing things on my own, so I learned by watching content.\u201d<\/p>\n

That comment led Suga to share a story that quickly caught fans\u2019 attention: Jung Kook recently made about 200 Dubai-style chewy cookies and personally handed them out to staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m planning to make them again tonight,\u201d Jung Kook said, showing his continued enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Other members said Jung Kook\u2019s cooking is a regular part of his daily life. J-Hope said, \u201cHe makes pasta and cooks a lot,\u201d while Suga said, \u201cWhenever we gather, he\u2019s cooking by himself.\u201d V added, \u201cWhen you go to Jung Kook\u2019s house, he cooks for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jung Kook has previously gone viral for his homemade recipes, including perilla oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles), ramen porridge and creative instant noodle dishes \u2014 many of which sparked global fan recreations and social media trends.<\/p>\n

The singer enlisted in December 2023 and served in an artillery brigade under the Korean Army\u2019s 5th Infantry Division. He also worked as a military cook, drawing attention at the time. During his service, he said on a fan community platform, \u201cARMY, how are you? I\u2019m doing well. I\u2019m working out hard and cleaning thoroughly, even the ceilings,\u201d adding, \u201cI\u2019m also cooking well,\u201d indirectly hinting at his role.<\/p>\n

Last month, BTS released its fifth full-length album, \u201cARIRANG,\u201d and the title track \u201cSWIM\u201d ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, maintaining its top-tier position for a second consecutive week.<\/p>\n
