Did Jungkook (BTS) livestream while drunk, pleading for help because his life was in danger?

In the early hours of February 26, 2026, Jungkook, a member of the K-pop group BTS, caused a stir among netizens and ARMY fans after a nearly 90-minute live stream on Weverse while intoxicated before being removed from the platform.

This broadcast quickly went viral on social media and became the focus of debate because of the words and actions that didn't match the typical image of a K-pop idol.

During a livestream that started around 3:40 AM, Jungkook appeared with his brother and a few friends, singing karaoke and chatting with fans while not fully sober. According to several entertainment news reports, he repeatedly used vulgar language, gave the middle finger, and was even perceived as drunk during the live broadcast.

What made the livestream even more noteworthy were Jungkook's rather frank and personal comments. He mentioned the mental pressure of having to be careful with every word due to his image as a K-pop idol, and asked whether discussing his past smoking habits should really be banned, even though he claimed to have tried to quit a long time ago. These comments surprised many viewers because idols usually avoid mentioning such sensitive topics on live broadcasts.

Part of the livestream content that went viral was when Jungkook talked about public criticism and judgment. In it, he expressed that many people didn't support him, hated him, and "some even wanted to harm me," a statement that worried many fans and drew attention due to its intensity.

Netizens and fans reacted in a wide range of ways after the event. Some fans expressed concern for Jungkook's emotional state and mental health, especially since he appeared intoxicated and repeatedly sighed, revealing his frustration with the constraints around him. Many believed the livestream was a "sigh" from an artist who had carried too much expectation on his shoulders for a long time.

Conversely, there are also criticisms of behavior that is inappropriate for a professional idol image, arguing that livestreaming while drunk, using vulgar language, or lacking self-control could affect not only Jungkook personally but also the reputation of BTS, especially as the group is preparing for a comeback with new music.

The livestream garnered so much attention that it was removed from Weverse shortly after it ended, leaving many curious about the real reason behind the removal, and short clips circulated widely on social media before being deleted.

This incident continues to be a hot topic of discussion on K-pop forums, with conflicting opinions on whether an artist should showcase their natural personality or maintain a perfect public image, especially after years of being a top idol.

Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS. Despite being the youngest, over the years, through his efforts, he has established his position in the group. The idol plays an important role in the group as the main dancer, main vocalist, and sub-rapper.

Before becoming a member of BTS, Jungkook experienced setbacks in his career. After being eliminated from the Superstar K auditions at the age of 15, the singer, born in 1997, was fortunate enough to catch the eye of seven entertainment companies, including top labels such as JYP, Starship, and FNC.

Later, Jungkook decided to join Big Hit Entertainment because of RM (the current leader of BTS) - a rapper he admired.
