BTS member Jungkook recently hosted an intimate vocal training live session on Weverse with his vocal coach Shim Ya. The broadcast, which aired at 3:40 a.m. on the 26th and lasted one hour and 30 minutes, featured heartfelt singing alongside friends including Chin Goo and Chin Hyung.
Apologies to Neighbors and Candid Reflections
Jungkook addressed potential disturbances to neighbors due to the late-night noise from vocal exercises. He explained, “Doing lives like this always feels genuinely enjoyable. I want to keep it relaxed and fun. That’s why I turned it on.” He added, “Even the company doesn’t know, but I’ve reached a point where I can live doing exactly what I want.”
Reflecting on his military service, Jungkook shared, “I want to enlist soon. At my age, it doesn’t make sense why I can’t do this now.” He also revealed quitting smoking after heavy use, saying, “I smoked a lot but teased myself into quitting.” Emphasizing his independence, he stated, “The moment I do this, the company grabs me. It’s not about company rules—it’s frustration building up.”
To Chin Goo, he promoted his solo track enthusiastically while shyly revealing English snacks bought with his own funds. When fans pushed for encores, Jungkook firmly responded, “Why would I turn off my live? Don’t tell me how to do it.”
Gratitude and Future Outlook
Wrapping up, Jungkook expressed deep appreciation: “I was always anxious about everything. Just grow taller. Comeback will be amazing. Thank you all.” He affirmed, “From now on, I’ll live by my own fashion—please support me.”
Fan Reactions and Online Buzz
Fans flooded comments with praise, calling the supportive vibe “refreshing” and “touching.” Online communities showed mixed responses, with some surprised by the raw honesty: “Idols meeting like this,” “He’s sincere, but vocal practice on live raises eyebrows,” and “Totally shocked.”
Upcoming Milestones for BTS and Jungkook
BTS prepares for Jungkook’s fifth solo album Arirang release on March 20, followed by a comeback live concert on March 21 at 8 p.m. at Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Presidential Office site. Streamed via Netflix, the event donates proceeds to leaders in 190 countries as charity—marking Korea’s first full-scale Netflix live concert.
In April, the group launches a self-produced world tour across 34 cities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia, featuring 79 shows. This sets a record as the highest number of performances for any K-pop artist, with 360-degree multi-dome stages planned.
