Jungkook 'nominated' for ‘Sexiest Man in the World’

Looks like BTS maknae Jungkook has quite an international following. An article written by Michela Motta for Elle, Italy, that was published on November 21, talks about the ‘World’s Sexiest Man’ title given by People’s Magazine. Elle thinks BTS Jungkook might be the one to get the award in 2022. While the list mentions six other celebrities alongside the global icon, ARMYs are most excited about the 24-year-old South Korean member taking over the list.

Jungkook made heads turn as he was listed alongside the likes of Oscar Issac, Jake Gyllenhaal, Timothee Chalamet, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes and Maluma. While talking about Jeon Jungkook, the Elle writer said, “... and Jungkook of BTS, who moves crowds of girls not only in Korea.” It must be noted that Paul Rudd, the 52-year-old Hollywood actor, was called the ‘Sexiest Man in the World’ by People Magazine in 2021.

Jungkook of BTS is the youngest man on the list, making him a fierce competitor among the older actors and musicians. If we left it up to ARMYs, we can be sure that Jungkook is going to win this title in 2022. People’s Magazine listed their first ‘Sexiest Man in the World’ in 1985 with Mel Gibson taking the first title and over the years actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Richard Gere all received the title twice in their careers. Michael B Jordan took the title in 2020 with Paul Rudd being the 2021 winner.
