On February 26, a video titled "Jungkook's drunken livestream made even fans beg him to turn it off" spread quickly on many online communities.
The post recorded Jungkook (BTS) chatting with fans during a livestream (live broadcast) earlier.
In the video, Jungkook admitted that he used to smoke: "I want to talk about smoking. Now I'm 30 years old. I used to smoke quite a lot. I tried very hard to quit.
The moment I said this, the company would probably go crazy. I didn't discuss it with the company beforehand, but I said it out of frustration.
The male singer also shared: "I love singing and am someone who wants to live truthfully. If I do something wrong, I want to admit it." At that time, he seemed to try to restrain his words more frankly, and screamed an English swear "FXXX".
After that, Jungkook confided about his music career, talking about the pressure he felt, he said: "Normally I don't listen to music. I only listen because I don't want to fall behind.
I am also human. I just want to enjoy life. How many people in this world can really live honestly? I want to be honest with ARMY (BTS fan community)".
Notably, Jungkook declared: "If it weren't for the company, I would have told everyone everything already.
During the broadcast, the voice of an acquaintance seemed to be trying to stop him. Jungkook reacted: "Do people think the company will scold me a lot?
When some fans asked him to end the livestream, he replied: "Why tell me to turn it off? Don't order me.
The livestream video then spread quickly, creating many mixed reactions. Fans were both worried and expressed their support for Jungkook's shares.
In December last year, Jungkook was rumored to be dating aespa's Winter. Rumors appeared after information that he had attended aespa's concert during his military leave in March, along with the fact that the two were said to have dog tattoos, bracelets, and hats with many similarities.
Jungkook's management company - Big Hit Music and Winter's company - SM Entertainment have not made any official statements on this issue. This is contrary to the fact that the two sides quickly denied "baseless rumors" when Jungkook was previously rumored to be dating Lee Yoo Bi and Winter was rumored to be dating Jungwon (ENHYPEN).
Meanwhile, BTS is expected to return with their 5th studio album "Arirang" on March 20. The group will meet fans at 8 pm the next day through the event "BTS The Conmeback Live: Arirang" in Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea.
