Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts and BTS fans have exciting news to celebrate. Jungkook, a member of the popular K-pop group, recently shared that his favorite anime is Jujutsu Kaisen. Not only that, he even went so far as to imitate the chant for Domain Expansion. In addition, Jungkook disclosed his preference for Satoru Gojo over Ryomen Sukuna.
Gege Akutami's manga series is entering its final arc, while the anime is currently airing episodes from its second season. The manga is currently focused on the ultimate battle after the clash between Sukuna and Gojo concluded. The anime, on the other hand, is currently adapting the Shibuya Incident Arc.

Jujutsu Kaisen: BTS Jungkook reveals that he prefers Gojo over Sukuna
After dropping his inaugural solo album, Golden, BTS member Jungkook hosted an exclusive listening party. Sharing his personal preferences, Jungkook excitedly divulged that his all-time favorite anime happens to be Jujutsu Kaisen.
Right after that, the K-pop idol began mimicking the chant to activate Domain Expansion, but broke into laughter halfway through. Later on, the BTS member revealed his preference between Gojo and Sukuna, expressing his favor for Gojo.
Although Jungkook is a fan of Gojo in the anime, little does he know that the strongest sorcerer has already been defeated by Sukuna. Despite the belief that Gojo emerged victorious against Sukuna, a scene in the afterlife hinted at Gojo's demise at the hands of the King of Curses. Subsequently, the manga revealed that Sukuna used his Dismantle technique to divide Gojo in two.
While BTS is currently on a group hiatus, the other members are also fans of anime such as Naruto, My Hero Academia, Haikyuu, Attack on Titan, and more.
How fans reacted to Jungkook revealing his favorite anime
The news of Jungkook, a member of BTS, being a fan of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen spread like wildfire on social media. Fans of both BTS and JJK expressed their excitement as their two beloved worlds, K-pop and Anime, converged in a delightful union.
Here are some of the reactions on X:
Fans were convinced that it was logical for Jeon Jungkook, also known as JJK, to be a fan of the anime since the series is also abbreviated as JJK. However, the K-pop idol surprised fans by declaring his love for the show during his listening party.
Despite the unexpected announcement, fans were thrilled to be part of the listening party and had the opportunity to hear Jungkook attempt to imitate the enchantment of Domain Expansion. The audio clip drove fans so wild that they couldn't help but listen to it on repeat.
Editor's P/S
As a long-time fan of both BTS and Jujutsu Kaisen, I was thrilled to hear about Jungkook's love for the anime. It's always exciting to see celebrities share their interests with their fans, and this news has certainly brought the two fandoms closer together.
Jungkook's preference for Gojo over Sukuna is also an interesting topic of discussion among fans. While both characters are incredibly popular, it seems that Jungkook resonates more with Gojo's personality and abilities. It will be interesting to see if Jungkook's preference influences other fans' opinions on the two characters.
Overall, I think it's great that Jungkook is open about his love for anime and manga. It shows that he's just like any other fan, and it helps to break down the stigma that sometimes surrounds anime and manga fandom. I hope that Jungkook's revelation will encourage other BTS fans to explore the world of anime and manga, and that it will help to further bridge the gap between the two cultures.
