[Theqoo] Korean netizens are currently buzzing about Jungkook becoming the first Korean artist to appear in the U.S. elementary school textbooks

 [Theqoo - 260504] BTS's Jungkook just showed up in a U.S. elementary school book series lineup (feat. Messi, Taylor, and Ronaldo)


Jungkook became the first Korean singer to be featured in an educational book series for U.S. elementary students (Brain Candy Books), which introduces popular stars in music and sports.







(Excerpt from the book)

 




























For 2025: Messi, Simone Biles, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes
For this year: Jungkook, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Ronaldo

The book covers Jungkook's life motto, his iconic nicknames/titles, his growth story, and his solo career.


Comments:

1. Jungkook is so big as a soloist that he's ranking on the charts all by himself now.

2. Couldn't you have used a cooler pic? This one is way too childish lol.

3. They've been a constant fixture in the industry. It's like how people used to view Justin Timberlake back in the day.

4. The fact that they're still pulling those numbers after just one short solo run years ago is crazy. Does the agency not realize? They are way too popular to have this few solo projects.

5. An educational book for kids in the U.S.? Jungkook's brand recognition there is seriously no joke. I didn't realize he was that popular. This is insane!

6. His popularity in the U.S. is no joke. Being featured in kids' educational books really shows how big he's become.

7. His solo debut was at the Qatar World Cup, and he even got invited to the Super Bowl—his 'weight class' is just different. He's playing in a whole different league.

8. I knew he was popular, but this is still surprising. It's such a shame he didn't end up doing the Super Bowl.

9. This series introduces 'Global Icons' to American kids, focusing on long-term influence and status rather than just current hits. We're talking about the level of Taylor Swift, Messi, and Simone Biles—names everyone in the U.S. knows. Inclusion in these eduational books means you've officially hit 'Global Icon' status.
Seeing Jungkook's name alongside legends like Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, and Shawn Mendez really brings home just how massive his international standing has become.

10. Jungkook is a total role model for American elementary schoolers. It's amazing how he provides such educational inspiration.

11. I heard Jungkook's solo album was a massive hit. Oh~ wishing him the best of luck for the future too!

12. The tiny ARMYs at the concert were adorable. Imagine having a textbook as your gateway into the fandom... I'm so jealous haha.

13. I saw a video on YouTube recently about Jungkook being featured in a U.S. elementary school library as a representative figure of Korea. He's truly incredible.

15. Jungkook is the first Korean to appear in this U.S. elementary school book series. As expected of a world star!

16. Jungkook is seriously amazing. But the cover photo is just too cute lol.

17. He's the only one with an adorable cover photo lol.

18. They straight up labeled him as the face of BTS lol. I guess when you're that popular in the U.S., they even make book for kids about you.

19. Wow, that lineup is insane. Jungkook's popularity in the U.S. is truly on another level.

20. The super cute cover and the totally 'hip' content is just so Jungkook lol.
