BTS singer Jungkook has come under the scanner after a video of him smoking surfaced online. The Golden Maknae of the K-pop was in the US earlier this week. Fans spotted him at the Incheon Airport in Seoul, making his way to board his flight to the US. While the purpose of his visit is still unknown, the Seven hitmaker was seen outside a restaurant in LA smoking what appears to be a cigarette. The video of the same has gone viral.
The shocking incident has left the fandom divided. It was reported that fans in South Korea were criticised Jeon Jungkook for smoking. However, a massive side of the fandom, aka ARMY, defended the Golden Maknae. Many took to X, previously known as Twitter, to fight back criticism and urge fans to allow Jungkook to live his life in whatever way he wishes to.
I hope that Jungkook smoking cannot affects on hes health and i wish he limit it, because maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle is essential to preserve and enhance vocal quality and performance and also the mental health. #Jungkookpic.twitter.com/2DceyOX0FG— suji☽ (@sujineaufiles) September 9, 2023

People be talking about SMOKING is bad for Jungkook but no one is saying STALKING SOMEONE IS WORST😭😭 I'm not supporting his act of smoking but respect his personal life guys. He's not a kid or a puppet of yours. He can live his own life the way he wants.— Tam⁷ (@shutup_tam) September 8, 2023
