BTS member Jungkook has been listed as the subject of a U.S. children’s nonfiction title in Capstone’s Brain Candy Books series, making the Jungkook children book a confirmed bibliographic entry across retail and book database listings. Korean media reports published on May 6, 2026, also identify him as the first Korean singer included in the U.S. educational children’s book series focused on music and sports figures.1
The title is listed as Featuring Jungkook: Facts, Quizzes, Activities, and More! and appears under the series name Brain Candy Books: Your Favorite Stars. Target’s product page identifies the book as a 48-page paperback from Capstone Press, written by Erin Falligant, with a listed publication date of January 1, 2026, and a recommended age range of 8 to 9.2
Jungkook Children Book Enters Brain Candy Books Lineup

The book places Jungkook within a U.S. children’s educational format that introduces well-known public figures to elementary-age readers. StarNews reported that Jungkook was selected for the 2026 lineup of Brain Candy Books, alongside names including Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez and Cristiano Ronaldo.1
Segye Ilbo described the series as a Capstone educational publishing project introducing figures from music and sports, and reported that Jungkook is the first Korean singer to be included.3 Sports Kyunghyang’s English-language report similarly said Capstone Publishing selected Jungkook as a subject for the elementary-student series, placing him in the same broader publication context as previously covered figures such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and Lionel Messi.4
The book’s reported content centers on Jungkook’s growth, music activities and personal values. Korean coverage says the title discusses his career path as well as major career markers, including his solo activity and the 2022 Qatar World Cup performance of “Dreamers.”1 Segye Ilbo also reported that the book mentions Billboard Hot 100 records and the World Cup stage connected to “Dreamers.”3
Allkpop’s May 6 report described the book as part of a children’s series introducing music and sports figures to U.S. elementary students, and said it covers Jungkook’s personal growth, musical journey and life philosophy. The same report said the book refers to seven Billboard Hot 100 entries and the 2022 FIFA World Cup official soundtrack “Dreamers.”5

Google Books classifies the title under children’s nonfiction categories linked to performing arts biography, popular music, and Asian people and regions.6 Those classifications align with the series’ stated educational framing in the May 6 coverage, which presents the book as an introductory nonfiction profile rather than a fan publication or music release.
The title’s subtitle, “Facts, Quizzes, Activities, and More!,” also indicates that the book is structured for young readers through a mix of short informational material and interactive elements. The source listings do not provide a full table of contents, so the exact chapter structure is not available from the supplied material.
What the Book Covers About Jungkook
Reports describe the book as covering Jungkook’s development from childhood through his music career, with attention to his work as a solo artist. StarNews reported that the title includes his growth process, solo career and the “Dreamers” stage at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.1
The book is also reported to touch on measurable career achievements. Segye Ilbo noted references to Billboard Hot 100 records, while allkpop specified seven Billboard Hot 100 entries in its description of the material.35 The supplied sources do not list the individual songs in the book, so the article should be understood as a profile based on the available summaries and bibliographic records rather than a complete contents guide.

The significance of the listing is its placement of a Korean pop artist in a U.S. children’s educational biography series that has covered global entertainment and sports figures. The available records confirm the core book details, while the May 6 Korean and English-language reports frame Jungkook’s inclusion as a first for a Korean singer in the series. For readers searching for the Jungkook children book, the confirmed title to look for is Featuring Jungkook: Facts, Quizzes, Activities, and More!.
