Another creative ARMY came up with a unique way to wish Jungkook a happy birthday and even got him some airtime on their local news station.
A news station in Topeka, Kansas, wished Jungkook a happy birthday, and instead of a recent photo showing up on the screen, a pre-debut photo of the BTS member was what appeared.
Not only was a pre-debut photo used, but the anchor hilariously wished Jungkook a happy 10th birthday, as the ARMY submitted him for the birthday wishes segment with a younger age written down.
After wishing him a happy birthday, the anchor complimented Jungkook on his hairstyle, saying, “I wish I could pull that off, but I can’t.”

The ARMY who nominated Jungkook for the birthday shoutout clarified that it was all in good fun and was sent with “all the love in the world.”
Fellow ARMYs undoubtedly found the humor in it as they reacted to the unexpected shoutout in the comments of the video posted.
While originally posted on TikTok, the video made its way to Twitter as well, where ARMYs continued to share their reactions to the funny video.
