Several excerpts from the book started to circulate online, where fans observed how Monica Kim described the GOLDEN singer. She revealed she had worked with several groups, including EXO, BLACKPINK, NCT 127, and more. However, Jungkook was the most attractive, according to her.
“So, people always find it surprising when I say that the best-looking man I've ever seen, the one who caught me completely off guard, was Jungkook,” she wrote.
She further added:
“Jungkook hits that intangible spot between real and unreal. He is striking but approachable. Pretty yet still handsome... Charming and charismatic. Perfectly imperfect and imperfectly perfect.”

"Our Global phenomenon," a fan said.
"He's such a beautiful and gorgeous man. He's super duper talented too. Jungkook has the superstar complex, aura and presence. He's so powerful and influential!" a fan added.
