A nickname for Jungkook (from BTS)
During
the group’s comeback special ”BTS NEWS” in September of 2017, RM, Jungkook’s fellow group member mentioned the group enjoying Popeye’s Samyang snacks together and Jungkook picking out and eating only the star shaped candies.
The name gained
popularity later on when BTS’ label BigHit used the nickname as a hashtag (#아기별사탕) on Jungkook’s birthday post on Twitter.
Although baby star candy is Jungkook’s nickname, ARMYS have also used it as an
adjective to describe moments when Jungkook does or says something cute, sweet or adorable.
