In several viral videos, BTS ARMY has noticed Jungkook praying before his meals. This isn't exclusive to Christianity, however most Christians do it. The singer has also covered a plethora of Christmas songs over the years including, 'O Holy Night' and several others.

During the Chuseok greeting, Jungkook appeared to pray like a Buddhist and has also been seen visiting the Buddhist temple Ganghwa Bomunsa. In his latest live session, he revealed that he is not religious, since he was never pressurized. However, he shared that his mother follows Christianity, but his father's family believes in Buddhism.

According to a report in KoreaBoo.com, during his live session he said, "I don't have a religion. My father's side is Christian, and my mother's side is Buddhist. But for us (children/younger generations)… We don't really have religions. There wasn't any pressure for us to have a religion, either. Therefore, I don't have a religion."
