JUNGKOOK, also known as the Golden Maknae, is best known as main vocal, sub-rapper, and lead dancer of BTS. Before he became a trainee in BigHit Entertainment he auditioned to become a singer in a Korean TV reality show but was unfortunately not selected by the trainers.

JUNGKOOK's economic potential was once again noticed when he simply mentioned a brand that he uses for his laundry and the next day the company's stock rose by more than 11% and the very product was sold out almost everywhere in South Korea. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his net worth is approximately $8 million.
