BTS’s Jungkook Directly Addresses His “Drunk” Controversy

It quickly became controversial as many netizens started flaming the BTS member over multiple moments from the broadcast.

He also anticipated his words being twisted and taken out of context, but emphasized that he didn’t think he was in the wrong.

This polite yet firm response from Jungkook has drawn heated reactions from fans, who are upset that he even had to apologize for something they saw as a non-issue. Others were relieved that he knew not all fans felt the same way and had the confidence to defend himself against the baseless criticisms.
It upsets me that he feels like he has to apologize. He’s 28, let the man cuss. Let the man tell us he used to smoke. Let him keep being real, genuine and authentic with us. I love and respect him even more for that https://t.co/AlwpqI5sAS
