Overview
- During an approximately 88-minute Weverse session in the early hours of Feb. 26, the BTS singer drank on camera, used expletives and pushed back on what he described as company and public constraints on what he can say.
- Jungkook addressed past smoking, saying he once smoked “a lot” but has quit, and suggested he avoids discussing it publicly because his agency would “make a big fuss.”
- The saved video was later removed from Weverse, with clips circulating widely on social platforms even as many were taken down across the internet.
- Reactions across fandom and social media were split, with some criticizing his conduct and others expressing concern for his well-being or potential friction with management.
- The episode lands weeks before BTS’s planned album release on March 20 and a world tour slated to start April 9 in Goyang, adding scrutiny to the group’s return.
