Recently, BTS' Jungkook unexpectedly opened a live stream lasting more than 2 hours on Weverse. This was the male idol's first broadcast since his military enlistment, so it attracted great attention, with a record of more than 20 million viewers.
During the livestream, Jungkook spent a lot of time singing karaoke for fans. Notably, the youngest member of BTS expressed his admiration for his senior group Big Bang.
When discussing G-Dragon's new song "Home Sweet Home" featuring Taeyang and Daesung, Jungkook revealed, "ARMYs (BTS fans) who have known me since I was young know that I'm a big fan of Big Bang, a huge fan. I'm so happy that they're back. When 'Power' and 'Home Sweet Home' came out, I tried to sing along and I got goosebumps."
Netizens also discovered that when singing "Home Sweet Home", Jungkook had a backing track that was identical to the performance of Big Bang members at the 2024 MAMA awards ceremony. This proves that he had watched this performance many times and memorized even the smallest details.
Jungkook also sang other G-Dragon songs such as “Niliria” and “Who You?”, while recalling, “For guys my age, it was natural to imitate Big Bang songs when singing karaoke. It was like an unwritten rule.”
Fans expressed their excitement about Jungkook's sharing and hoped that he and G-Dragon or Big Bang would soon have a collaborative music product, like Taeyang (Big Bang) and Jimin (BTS) combined in the song "Vibe" in 2023.
