At one point he remarked, “If it weren’t for the company, I’d want to say everything” — which felt less like drunken rambling and more like an emotional outburst from someone exhausted by living as a carefully scripted idol.

He also openly addressed his smoking past: he stated he once smoked and that quitting required consistent effort [Wionews](https://www.wionews.com/photos/mortal-kombat-2-trailer-6-sneaky-details-you-probably-missed-1752826824625) — a candid admission that K-media immediately ran with, while burying the far more disturbing revelation.

## The Death Threats Nobody Talked About

According to a translated video posted by DJ Jino on YouTube, Jungkook stated that while many admire him, some dislike him — and added that a few have allegedly even sent him death threats.

The reaction from fans was immediate and devastating. Fans were furious that K-media failed to talk about this matter, instead focusing only on his drinking and smoking habits — which fans pointed out are normal things that adults do.

One fan wrote: “Jungkook is getting death threats. He opened up about it to us, but K-media focused on his drinking and smoking instead of trying to protect him.” [nbcpalmsprings](https://www.nbcpalmsprings.com/2026/02/26/the-bluff-now-streaming-on-amazon-prime-priyanka-chopra-jonas-stars-in-highseas-action-drama)

## A 30-Year-Old Man vs. An Industry’s Impossible Standards

Many netizens questioned whether South Korea’s unusually strict moral expectations toward idols are suffocating grown artists. “Even if you’re not a BTS fan, a 30-year-old adult should be allowed to vent like that,” one widely-shared comment read.

The backlash also caused some fans to leave the fandom, with at least one major K-ARMY fan account announcing its closure — blamed by many on the divisiveness the live created within the community.

This is a textbook example of the tensions baked into [K-pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-pop) — where global superstars are still expected to perform perfect idol personas around the clock, regardless of their mental health or personal realities.
