On the evening of December 18, Jungkook (BTS) suddenly opened a live broadcast on Weverse for the first time since joining the army.
The male idol's livestream attracted more than 20 million viewers, breaking the record previously set by Jungkook himself with a livestream on Weverse in February 2023 (reaching 16.3 million viewers).
During his comeback, Jungkook said he took advantage of his military leave to interact with fans. The male idol expressed his longing for fans, updated information about himself and BTS members, and sang karaoke for fans.
BTS's youngest member performed more than 30 songs, including some of his own and many other artists' songs such as Taeyeon's "To.X", Seventeen's "Maestro", ILLIT's "Magnetic", G-Dragon's "Power" and "Home Sweet Home", Justin Bieber's "Sorry"...
But fans paid the most attention to the moment Jungkook sang the song “APT.” by Rose (Blackpink) and Bruno Mars.
Jungkook said that Bruno Mars sang the song so well and it was so high pitched that he didn’t know if he could sing it. But then Jungkook still performed a part of it for the fans. He also did the signature “APT.” drinking dance move.
“APT.” is a global hit that has been going viral for the past two months, so whenever it appears, it gets talked about. But what makes Jungkook singing “APT.” even more notable is that Jungkook and Rose were previously rumored to be dating.
Netizens "spotted" moments when the two wore similar clothes, appeared in the same place, sat in the same car... Even when Rose's album "rosie" was released, Jungkook was among the boys predicted to be the ex-boyfriend of the Blackpink member.
However, Jungkook's relaxed attitude during the livestream when asked to sing "APT." made netizens believe that the rumor that Jungkook is Rose's ex-boyfriend is not true.
