Jungkook has addressed the controversy surrounding his earlier livestream, offering an apology while also making it clear that he does not believe his actions were entirely wrong. His statement, however, has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with many choosing not to accept his apology.

The controversy dates back to a February 2026 livestream on Weverse, where Jungkook appeared to be drinking and spoke candidly about personal topics. During the broadcast, he used casual language, including profanity, and made gestures that some viewers found inappropriate. The livestream was later taken down, but clips continued to circulate online, fueling debate.
