Old habits are hard to break, but not for Jungkook!
coreaboo
Now, we all know how hard it is to fix a habit, let alone an old habit! In Korean, there is a proverb that says “a habit you have at age 3 will stay with you until you are 80.” The English expression for this would be “Old habits die hard.”
These idioms and proverbs were not created without reason. These expressions demonstrate how difficult it is to break an old habit and that without a strong will it would be almost impossible to change.
But for btsmaknae d’or jungkook, managed to break an old habit in just 3 days. Jungkook, who is known for his overflowing love for ARMY, has been able to change his ways for his fans.
His bad habit was improper use of chopsticks! During a previous live broadcast, a fan praised Jungkook for his great chopstick skills. To this, Jungkook admitted that he had worked hard to change his old habit of using chopsticks the right way. His previous method of using chopsticks was to create an “X” shape when holding the chopsticks.
Although his skill with chopsticks did nothing to stop him from eating, he felt that he would become a bad influence on young fans and decided to correct his habit.
While some may think what the problem is, it’s actually a lot harder than you think to fix the way you hold your chopsticks.
In Korea, as in other Asian countries, using chopsticks is a daily practice. So for Jungkook, fixing a habit he’s had for about 20 years in just three days is a big deal.
