Jungkook, a member of the group BTS (BTS), has shown mixed reactions after a late-night live broadcast.

Jungkook hosted a drunk live broadcast with his friends and brother for about an hour and a half through the fan communication platform Weverse in the early morning of the 26th. He expressed his honest feelings by telling the busy situation ahead of his comeback as a whole in BTS in March.

He revealed his past smoking and said, "I'm 30 now, can't I talk about cigarettes. I smoked a lot, but I hung up because I tried. But if you talk about this, the company will go crazy again," he said.

"It's my personality and my opinion to talk about things because I'm drunk. I don't care about the company and want to talk comfortably. Of course, this could be controversial, but that's me," he said. "I'm a person. It won't be easy, but few people can be completely honest with the world. If I were a soloist, I would have said everything without caring if I was a solo musician," he said.

In the process, Jung Kook was also seen cursing his fingers or shouting expletives at his friends, which caused controversy. When some fans recommended that the live broadcast end, he said, "Why are you telling me to turn it off. Don't tell me what to do," he said.

As a result, fans' responses are mixed. Some fans defended the adult artist as a human figure shown in a private space, and on the other hand, criticism was raised that drinking and harsh words and actions in public communication channels watched by fans were careless. In addition, it was also pointed out that BTS is set to make a full comeback in three years and nine months.

Jungkook then said through the Weverse community, "The album is really just around the corner. Please wait a little longer. "I'll work really hard when we make a comeback," he said.

He told fans waiting for the album, "A lot of people worked hard. The members and the company did a great job. I will be able to show you that good result, he said. "I'm practicing so that I don't get hurt, and I'm taking care of my health, so you don't have to worry."

When a fan said, "It hurts every time I see you struggling because of unfounded criticism," Jung-kook replied, "But I'll do the best I can." In addition, the comment, "Thank you for showing your honest and human side today," said, "I'm not always perfect. So thank you."

In particular, he answered, "Why would I regret it?" and said, "I feel good to see you comfortable and enjoying yourself," adding, "Now I will live my life my way, so please support me." However, the live broadcast video has been deleted.

Meanwhile, BTS will make a comeback with its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" at 1 p.m. on March 20. The next day, at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul at 8 p.m., he plans to hold "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG" and meet his fans.
