At dawn on April 8, right after BTS's MV "HOOLIGAN" officially "dropped the chain" and exploded music platforms, the youngest Jungkook had a live broadcast on Weverse to open up about the controversies that surrounded him in the past time.

At the beginning of the livestream, Jungkook did not shy away but directly confronted the conflicting opinions surrounding his behavior in the previous broadcast. The male artist admitted that he was worried a lot about whether his outbursts were really a "big mistake" or not.

"Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm going to make a big mistake... I'm not exactly a stereotypical public figure," Jungkook shared.

The male singer said that the entertainment world is now more open to YouTubers or content creators when they are comfortable expressing their own personality. However, as a global star of BTS, his portrayal of everyday and sometimes rebellious aspects of life has inadvertently made a part of the audience feel uncomfortable.

Jungkook affirmed that his apology was only for ARMY (BTS's fandom) – who always accompany and support him unconditionally: "Since it's our ARMY, I want to apologize to those who feel uncomfortable. I will moderate it from now on. Maybe I was too excited that day because of this comeback."

One of the most controversial points in Jungkook's recent livestreams is his use of somewhat relaxed language, including sensitive words. Explaining this, BTS's "youngest golden brother" gave a personal opinion: Jungkook thinks that the editing videos on social networks are overdoing the problem, making viewers misunderstand that he lacks respect for the audience.

In particular, in response to the information about some extremists being sued for defaming the honor of artists, Jungkook coldly affirmed: "It's not my business for you to be sued." This is considered a strong self-protection move of the male singer after many years of pressure from public opinion. He understands that sincerity should only be given to those who deserve to understand and appreciate their true self.

The admission of bad habits and determination to change shows that Jungkook is an adult, no longer a little "youngest brother" every day. He accepts himself as a flawed human being, with feelings of anger and sorrow, instead of trying to strain himself in the "perfect idol" shirt that the public embroideres.

It can be seen that Jungkook is gradually breaking down the traditional barriers of K-pop to redefine the concept of "public person". He does not choose to be silent so that the waves are calm, but chooses to dialogue, even debate to protect his artist ego.

Although there are still controversies about lifestyle, no one can deny Jungkook's influence and natural talent. With the newly released MV "HOOLIGAN", the male artist once again proves that: No matter how rebellious or different, music and sincerity are still the strongest bonds that connect him with millions of ARMY hearts around the world.
