Jung Woo Sung Reveals His Favorite BTS Member
Jung Woo Sung revealed his BTS bias during the 2022 MAMA Awards.
Hosted by Park Bo Gum and singer Jeon Somi, the annual event was held at Osaka's Kyocera Dome in Japan where nominees such as IU, BLACKPINK, Enhypen, Stray Kids, TXT, (G)I-DLE, NCT Dream, IVE, Le SSERAFIM, NewJeans, and of course BTS attended the ceremony.
Interestingly, the award-winning actor graced the stage to present an award. However, he not only mentioned the name of the category winner but also named his favorite BTS member.
Looking dashing in a sleek glitter suit, the "Hunt" star walked on the red carpet and was greeted by the hosts.
THIS BTS member is Jung Woo Sung's Bias
During a brief interview, one MC asked Jung Woo Sung if there's any Kpop artist that he recently liked and the song he often listens to these days.
Initially, the 49-year-old top star did not mention a specific group and said he "liked them all."
However, he mentioned BTS' Jin's name and revealed that he has been listening to his song "Astronaut."
Released in 2022, the song was written by the BTS member together with Coldplay, marking the group's second collaboration with the British band.

This is not the first time that Jung Woo Sung mentioned Jin in his interviews.
Jung Woo Sung Reveals Reason Behind the 'Chairman' Nickname With BTS Jin
Back in August 2022, the actor tells Wikitree in an interview that he and the K-pop star call each other by a special term. He revealed that they address each other using the Korean word equivalent to Chairman.
Jung Woo Sung shared that he personally invited BTS' Jin for the VIP premiere of his movie with Lee Jung Jae called "Hunt" to watch the special screening.
"When I invited him (Jin) to the premiere, he replied, 'Maybe I will attend after all since Chairman Jung invited me personally.'"
As for their unique friendship, the veteran actor revealed that he and Jin met by coincidence at a private event.
Jung Woo Sung also pulled a trick at the time and joked that he did not immediately recognize the BTS member and wondered who the star was until he introduced himself.
"I then immediately apologized and joked, 'Of course, I know you, Chairman Jin. I've always recognized you when you were with your members," he said, adding that is where he and Jin started the "Chairman" nickname.
On the other hand, following the success of his movie "Hunt" with good friend Lee Jung Jae, who is also the director of the film, Jung Woo Sung is set to headline an upcoming K-drama "Say You Love Me" with "Reborn Rich" star Shin Hyun Bin.
In addition, he will return to the big screen with an action drama movie "A Man of Reason" alongside Kim Nam Gil and Park Sung Woong.
Adding to the list of his upcoming projects is a special participation in Hyun Bin's "Harbin."
