BTS Jungkook's documentary, I AM STILL, released worldwide in cinemas on September 18, has been capturing the hearts of ARMYs with never-before-seen glimpses of the Golden Maknae’s journey. The documentary, which details Jungkook's production process for his debut solo album Golden, features hit tracks like Standing Next To You, Seven, 3D, Yes or No and others. While fans were eager to witness Jungkook's artistic evolution, it was his childhood photos that stole the spotlight on social media, providing ARMYs a deeper look into his life before global stardom.
The images of a young Jungkook with his adorable chubby cheeks have melted the hearts of fans worldwide, who can’t get enough of these precious moments. Many fans took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share clips and photos from the documentary, expressing their love and nostalgia for BTS' youngest member. "Jungkook was such a cute kid, those cheeks!" one fan wrote, while others commented on how he’s still retained the same playful energy from his childhood.

Apart from the emotional childhood snippets, the documentary also shows fun and heartwarming interactions between Jungkook and fellow BTS member Jimin. In one memorable scene, Jungkook excitedly shows Jimin his freshly shaved head, a significant moment as Jungkook prepares to enlist in the South Korean military.
Jimin's reaction has ARMYs in stitches. The vocalist was visibly shocked and lovingly scolded Jungkook, asking, “Why did you shave it already?” before giving his head an affectionate rub. Fans believe the two had planned to shave their heads together, further solidifying their close bond.
