This is because, while some little ones want to be doctors, police officers and lawyers, others want to become superheroes or even a pony.

In an interview, the BTS maknae revealed that his wish was to be the dragon that helps Chihiro after her parents turned into pigs, Haku. The character first appears under the guise of a human being to gain the little girl’s trust.

First, I wanted to be the male character in ‘Spirited Away’. His name is Haku,” Jungkook said.

Furthermore, he defended why he wanted to be the character. The first argument was Haku’s beauty, while the second was his shapeshifting power, which when transformed into a dragon, can even fly.

He is very handsome and can transform into a dragon. So imagine how cool it must have looked from a first grader’s perspective. I was fascinated by him and thought, ‘I must be like him later.’”

It is worth remembering that when the animation was released, Jungkook he was only four years old, as the 26-year-old idol was born on September 1, 1997 in Mandeok-dong, Busan, South Korea.
