The singer explained that because the piercing passes through the lip with one end resting inside the mouth, it easily came into contact with his teeth.He shared that, earlier that day, while eating poke, Jungkook accidentally cracked one of his lower teeth against the piercing. He ended up swallowing a fragment of the broken tooth instead of spitting it."Today when I was eating Poke, while I was chewing I chewed on this (piercing). I cracked my lower tooth and it became sharp. Because it broke right here. And I ended up chewing the broken piece of tooth. But since it's my own tooth any way I just chewed and ate it, kinda like I'm eating sand. The piercing has been really annoying me," Jungkook revealed.During his recent Weverse live on September 29, 2025, Jungkook spent part of the session cooking two late-night dishes for fans. The first was a creamy truffle mushroom pasta, which he said was inspired by a restaurant meal he had tried a few days earlier.He also explained that he prefers his pasta softer than the typical “al dente” texture, cooking it a few minutes longer than the package instructions. For the second dish, he prepared a simple breakfast-style toast. He browned the bread in butter, spread it with strawberry jam, and topped it with soft, creamy scrambled eggs.The live offered fans a glimpse of the singer’s cooking style and casual interactions in the kitchen.
