Of the BTS members, Jungkook is definitely known for his love of the gym, to the point of working out while live-streaming.

This love of working out and the gym likely led to him being pointed to as the subject of a netizen’s video.
In a video posted to TikTok on September 2, a woman shared that she “shot her shot” with a cute guy at the gym, and found out after he left that he was a member of one of the biggest K-Pop boy bands right now.
@dazedbabiMy delulu self really got humbled at the gym… #embarrassing #kpop #fyp #gym #boyband

Her caption, which said that her “Delulu self got humbled,” seems to imply that it didn’t work out as the video shows her looking embarrassed over her actions.
Of course, with how nosy K-Pop fans are, many were curious about who the idol in question was, and requested more information in the form of a story time.
Others named a few different idols, but the name that appeared the most was Jungkook. On top of this, the creator “liked” a comment saying this, which confirmed it in the eyes of many of the commenters.
While she has not clearly stated who the idol was as of yet, getting rejected by one surely hurts less than a normal rejection!
