BTS Jungkook Confesses to Smoking and Uses Harsh Language During Live Broadcast... Fan Reactions Are Mixed

BTS member Jungkook has become the center of attention by revealing somewhat harsh language and his honest feelings through a personal live broadcast. In the early hours of the 26th, Jungkook shared a moment with fans during a live broadcast on the fan community Weverse, where he was seen drinking with acquaintances.

During the broadcast, Jungkook first spoke about the taboo topic of smoking, which is often avoided by idols. He said, "I’m now thirty. Why can’t I talk about this?" and added, "I used to smoke a lot in the past, but I’ve worked hard to quit now." He expressed his frustration with the company’s sanctions, saying, "The moment I talk about this, the company will go crazy," while also revealing his complicated feelings by stating, "This isn’t something agreed upon with the company, but I’m sharing it out of frustration."

Throughout the broadcast, there were also some rather risqué actions and remarks. Jungkook playfully made a finger gesture towards a friend and mentioned, "I couldn’t do this kind of behavior in front of ARMYs." Additionally, during the conversation, he used direct expressions and profanity, such as "Don’t annoy me," showing a rougher side than usual. When fans requested to end the live broadcast, he displayed a firm attitude, saying, "I hope you don’t tell me what to do."

The background of these actions seems to stem from a desire for freedom and honesty as 'human Jungkook.' He expressed, "I’m a person too and I want to have fun," and added, "How many people can be honest in this world? I wanted to be honest with ARMYs." He also shared that, "If I were a solo musician, I would have said everything without caring about others’ opinions," revealing the struggles he faces as an idol.

After the broadcast, Jungkook posted a selfie on Weverse with a promise, saying, "The album release is just around the corner. I will work hard when I come back." He also left a comment saying, "I will now live my life my way, so please support me," and when a fan asked if he regretted the content of the broadcast, he confidently replied, "Why would I regret it?"

Reactions from fans watching this have been sharply divided. Some criticized, saying, "Isn’t he creating unnecessary controversy ahead of the comeback?" and "I’m worried it might affect the other members." On the other hand, others defended Jungkook’s honesty, stating, "As an adult, personal freedom should be respected," and "How frustrated must he have been to share this with fans?"
