"Selfish, Egotistic, Immature" — BTS's Jungkook Faces Scathing Criticism Over Alleged Whereabouts

The heated online discussions surrounding BTS member Jungkook and his “controversial” live broadcast don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. In fact, now a new set of criticism has found its way to the idol.

After his latest livestream, Jungkook has been receiving a slew of criticism for getting drunk on camera and being “chaotic” ahead of schedule in the morning.

This disapproval has been strengthened after a fan claimed in a recent video that Jungkook was spotted walking in the streets of Itaewon while drunk following his livestream. In the video, the fan regretted turning down her friend’s invitation to go to Itaewon that day, since the friend had spotted Jungkook strolling the streets in just a mask.

This claim has now sparked a heated debate on X. Some deemed the idol’s behavior unprofessional since he had admitted to having a group schedule the following morning. However, fans defended him, pointing out that Jungkook was interacting with ARMYs on Weverse till early morning, and the girl had later clarified that she saw him before the broadcast. Regardless of the circumstances, many argued that Jungkook was free to take a stroll in the area he lives in without being subjected to online berating.

Jungkook didn't go to sleep after the live but went to Itaewon, according to this girl on TikTok whose friend saw him there drunk after the live. Mind you, he had a group shooting schedule in a few hours.Selfish, egoistic, immature man https://t.co/grrP0JjJkJ pic.twitter.com/aTbBXiYZka

Jungkook lives in Itaewon, he can't "go there" if he lives there. And mind you this man ended the livestream around 6am and then replied to comments until 7am, then saying he showered around 8am (when he has to go to his schedule). If y'all are gonna make up shit abt him at least… https://t.co/IQmfo8ZAA4

He was on Weverse replying to comments until 7:30 AM and said he wasn’t sleepy 😭. The girl didn’t see him herself her friend did so she clarified in the comments that this happened before the live, not after! At the same time the Turkish and Peruvian ARMYs spotted him https://t.co/OUEE38lhb9 pic.twitter.com/lgHHHoiFMH

Meanwhile, ARMYs noted that this sighting was probably around the same time Jungkook was allegedly “stalked” by a foreign fan.
