When the stats were released, Korean fans couldnt get over Jungkook’s global influence.
- “I think the crowd cheered loudly due to the performance leaving a strong impression.”
- “Even people who usually don’t praise idols were saying he was cool. There were so many comments saying he was cool.”
- “A teacher, who is a colleague of mine, and usually has no interest in idols asked me if I watched his performance and praised Jungkook’s visuals, singing, and dancing, which made me realize that even non-K-Pop fans, had an explosive reaction to his performance. Many among the older audiences felt his performance reminded them of Michael Jackson.”
Yet, it wasn’t just on YouTube that Jungkook’s influence was still being felt. On Twitter, one ARMY shared that not only were fans shocked at the impact Jungkook was having on locals (non-fans) but that it was still top news on Korean television.
