On April 8, male singer Jungkook of BTS broadcast live on the Weverse fan communication platform and spent time chatting frankly with fans.
During the broadcast, Jungkook mentioned the livestream in February - which caused controversy because he appeared drunk and used vulgar language.
The male singer shared: "I want to apologize to ARMY (BTS fan community) for the recent livestream. I'm not sure I did anything too wrong, but because I've never shown that aspect before, it may have made some fans feel uncomfortable.
Jungkook added: "If any ARMY feels uncomfortable, I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention. That day I was probably simply in a very happy mood.
However, he also expressed his opinion frankly: "Personally, I don't think it's a serious mistake. This is something that many people in this industry also often do". He said that apologizing is because he thinks about the feelings of fans, not because he thinks his actions are completely wrong.
Jungkook emphasized his sincerity to fans: "Those who understand how I treat ARMY will understand. I am always sincere and want to do well for you.
He also admitted that he is not perfect: "I cannot say I am perfect or always right, but if there is anything that goes beyond the limit, I will try to absorb the opinions.
Jungkook's statement then caused mixed reactions, some people appreciated the frankness, while others continued to argue about this issue.
