Fans treasure Jungkook’s live broadcasts since they’re an example of how BTS takes the time to interact with fans closely, but the talk show mocked how Jungkook appeared drunk during the broadcast.
The show also mocked one especially impactful moment from Jungkook’s broadcast. During his live, the idol called out fans who follow him to personal schedules. Jungkook addressed the issue after almost two hours of spending time with fans before hesitantly speaking up. Although he thanked fans who support BTS, Jungkook asked fans not to look for him when he isn’t on an official schedule.
🐰 I wasn't gonna say this but… I'm so thankful for people supporting me and having interest in me. I really am. But please don't come find me when I'm working out, I was so surprised last time

And Jungkook even spoke about a specific incident where some people were waiting outside his gym.
🐰 I was about to go home but there were people outside (the gym). It wasn't an official schedule so… that's right, I'm drunk. That's why I'm talking about things like this

Fans appreciated Jungkook directly addressing the issue and praised his polite handling of the situation.
JUNGKOOK is too kind, humble and too good for this world. He loves army so much, but PLEASE PLEASE all he is asking is to respect him, and his privacy. People need to understand their place and not stalk him anytime. He’s human too.

But on the talk show, the host trivialized the issue, suggesting that Jungkook was “attacking” ARMY for preventing him from doing basic things like going to the gym or walking on the street without them knowing about it.
SHUT UP! Our Jungkook has done nothing wrong. Stalking is not ok at all. He has always been kind and polite to us, literally always. He never attacked us. And it's Jungkook's and our (ARMYs) own matter antis don't need to interfere. Better apologize to jungkook, respect #jungkook pic.twitter.com/n9AkcXuYO8

Imagine being so inhumane that you mock a person being STALKED & turn the blame back on HIM that he's "attacking fans". pathetic. You don't deserve a platform. So unprofessional & spreads misinformation & racism..@ImagenTVMex @veronicatouss @chulada_tv we demand an apology https://t.co/L657nJO6Xa

At one point, the host even brought in another staff member, pretending he was the “Mexican Jungkook” and “interviewed” him, asking if he was drunk in the video and if he disapproves of ARMY “harassing” him.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, the talk show even shared another clip of the “interview,” calling the staff member “Our own Mexican BTS.”

Fans were furious at the clip, which has since been deleted from Twitter, angered by how poorly researched and presented the topic was.
ARMY are trending “Respect Jungkook” and “Apologize to Jungkook” on Twitter as they call the talk show out and even tank the show’s online ratings.
let's make it 0%

APOLOGIES TO JUNGKOOK— دال (@97dlll) March 8, 2023
Fans are calling the entire clip unprofessional and racist.
they laughed at him at every moment, made fun of his behavior and insinuated that he is always drunk and that is why he wasn’t aware of his words.

What you have said is completely wrong and not professional at all. We ask for you to seriously apologize to the artist and RESPECT JUNGKOOK. @ImagenTVMex @veronicatouss @chulada_tv https://t.co/yyeVgA2yLn

they think they are very funny and want to make everything they see a big news I hate the fact that they didn’t even investigate properly and have to mock Jungkook saying a bunch of bs just to gain fame and viewers

As of now, ¡Qué Chulada! has not responded aside from taking down the clips on social media.
