Fans of global K-pop group BTS have expressed deep concern after member Jungkook appeared in an emotional livestream that was later removed from the fan platform Weverse. During the broadcast the singer spoke openly about personal struggles and hinted that some people have even sent threats against him.
The livestream reportedly took place in the early hours of February 26 and lasted for more than an hour. During the session the K-pop star was seen spending time with friends singing songs and drinking while speaking candidly with fans. The video has since been taken down but clips from the stream are circulating widely across social media generating significant discussion among fans worldwide.
In the broadcast Jungkook spoke about criticism he faces as a public figure. He suggested that there are people who dislike him and attempt to bring him down and even mentioned that some individuals may want to harm him. Despite the comments he also stated that he tries not to let such negativity affect him and prefers to continue living freely without focusing on hate directed at him online.
The singer also briefly addressed past discussions about his smoking habit which had previously become a trending topic after photos surfaced online in 2023. Jungkook explained that he had stopped smoking after making a strong effort and shared that he sometimes feels restricted about discussing personal topics publicly.
Following the livestream fans quickly took to social media to express concern for the artist’s wellbeing. Many supporters posted messages encouraging him to prioritise his health and safety while highlighting the immense pressure that comes with global fame.
Meanwhile the members of BTS including RM Jin Suga J‑Hope Jimin V and Jungkook are preparing for their upcoming studio album titled Arirang which is scheduled to release on March 20. The group is also expected to host a global comeback show that will stream on Netflix the following day marking their first major project together after completing military service commitments.
