BTS star JungKook has taken social media by storm over his surprise live broadcast that saw him spilling the beans. On Thursday morning, a clip titled “JungKook’s drunken live broadcast where even fans begged him to turn it off” began circulating across online platforms and fan handles. The video saw the singer candidly interacting with fans and even taking questions, without his management’s approval.
JungKook admits to smoking
The clip came just a day after his new clothing brand campaign went viral on social media. In the clip, JungKook addressed the controversy he kicked up over pictures of him smoking backstage. He confessed, “I want to talk about smoking. I’m thirty now. I smoked a lot. I tried really hard to quit,” he said and continued, “The moment I say this, the company will probably go crazy. It’s not something I discussed with the company, but I spoke out of frustration.”Taking full accountability for his actions, he said, “I love singing and I’m someone who wants to be honest. If I do something wrong, I want to admit it.”
JungKook doesn’t listen to music
The hunk also spoke about the pressures surrounding his career as a K-Pop superstar. In a rather surprising confession, he said, “I don’t normally listen to music. I only listen to it because I don’t want to fall behind.”
JungKook gagged by company
The singer also admitted to long standing rumous that K-Pop stars are often gagged by their record labels. In his clip, he seemed to call out HYBE for not letting him open up and be honest with his fans. “I’m human too. I just want to enjoy myself,” he began before going on to add, “How many people in this world can truly be honest? I wanted to be honest with ARMY.”
JungKook hints at romance?
JK went on to add, “If it wasn’t for the company, I would have told you everything.” The confession raised eyebrows with fans interpreting it as his way of trying to address matters of the heart and his personal life, possibly even his hush-hush love life. The star has been linked to several K-Pop beauties over the years, one being aespa member Winter. Some claimed he was trying to debunk it, while others said that he was “clearly” trying to acknowledge the relationship.

At one moment, a person can be heard seemingly attempting to dissuade him from spilling more details online. Jungkook responded, “Do you think the company will scold me a lot?” When some viewers encouraged him to end the livestream, he replied, “Why are you telling me to turn it off? Don’t boss me around.”The broadcast has since drawn mixed reactions, with fans expressing both concern and support over his candid remarks.
