ARMYs Congratulate BTS’s Jungkook For Graduating College, And Receiving The Special “President’s Award”
Since BTS debuted in 2013, ARMYs have watched the members grow up from teenagers into men. In particular, because he debuted at such a young age, fans have always had a soft spot for seeing the group’s maknae Jungkook go through various important life events.
After watching him finish middle school and then going on to graduate from the prestigious School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA), Jungkook has literally grown up in front of ARMYs eyes.
Yet, he recently shared another huge milestone with fans after it was announced that he is now officially a college graduate. On March 3, it was announced that Jungkook had graduated from Global Cyber University with a degree in Broadcasting and Entertainment.
If that wasn’t impressive enough, considering how busy BTS’s schedule has been lately, he even received the “President’s Award.” It is such a huge achievement because it is the highest award given to graduates at the ceremony.
Although he couldn’t be there in person to receive the award, Jungkook sent a special video. Unsurprisingly, Jungkook had mixed feelings about the occasion explaining that he was both emotional and excited, especially considering the graduation marked an end and a beginning.
In particular, he shared exactly what it felt like to receive the prestigious “President’s Award.” As expected, despite Jungkook’s fame, he was humbled by the accomplishment.
Thank you so much for the valuable award. I will always do my best to be a sunbae (senior) who sets a good example for the hoobae (juniors).
— Jungkook
He also shared his love for learning and how important it is, alongside his desires for the future that include continuing to create music for fans worldwide.
When the announcement was made, ARMYs couldn’t stop congratulating Jungkook on the achievement.

I'm so proud of @BTS_twt. I'm happy that they attended university despite of the heavy workloads they have and the fact that they are carrying the whole music industry and the economy behind their backs but still manage to topped both in charts and school is insane. 😌

More recently, “Congratulations Jimin” was trending on Twitter after it was announced that Jimin earned an honorary diploma from Busan High School of Arts and that his father was attending the ceremony to accept the certificate.
An honorable diploma is granted to people who have given great and valuable contributions to a school.
