BTS member Jungkook delivered a bold message to those who misused affection as an excuse to intrude on his life. 

On July 22, during a live broadcast on Weverse, the fan community platform, Jungkook engaged with his fans candidly and openly.

During the broadcast, Jungkook acknowledged that he had been drinking and humorously shared, "I'm drunk, so let's talk about this. But even if I wasn't drunk, I would have said the same thing." Despite his light-hearted demeanor, he took a serious tone when addressing certain concerns raised by fans.


Addressing the criticisms that he should avoid broadcasting while under the influence, Jungkook passionately expressed his stance, urging everyone not to interfere with his decisions. He shared, "I guess people will watch this live and say 'Jungkook is drinking and doing broadcast again,' So what? Do you guys not drink? Don't you say this or that after drinking? Just chatter away."

He emphasized that he had previously spoken about this matter in an interview, reiterating his genuine desire to take care of his fans and appreciating their kind words and support. He shared, "I said this in an interview too. I want to take care of the people who love me and say good things to me."


Asserting his autonomy, Jungkook declared, "I will continue to live my life this way, so there's no need to worry about it." 

His fans responded with cheers and approval, expressing their admiration for his honesty and independence. They offered their unwavering support, as long as his actions do not harm others, with some even humorously mentioning that they would forgive him since he's not even drunk driving. Fans commented, "I like his honest," "You should do what you want to," "I will always support you as long as it's not harming others," and "It doesn't matter if he drinks since he's not even drunk driving."

Wow K-netizens are so hypocritical, where was this compassion when Lee Hong-bin was drunk on his live stream and saying what he felt 🙄. If it’s okay for idols to be drunk on live streams and say what they want it should be okay across the board not just for a chosen few. Hongbin should have said the same thing to those fans who make his comments into an unnecessary controversy

I think there’s a difference between drinking and being drunk. I don’t think broadcasting live while drunk is ever a good idea, because you are not in your right mind and whatever you say or do cannot be edited out before published. Regardless of the fact that nothing out of normal has happened in his lives, while drunk, so far, I don’t think this is a pattern he should continue with.
