Why didn't BTS' Jungkook hold solo live since military discharge? Fans weigh in on cap controversy as possible reason
The BTS member known for his record-breaking lengthy live broadcasts, has been unusually quiet since his military discharge on June 11. Despite co-hosting one with Jimin, fans are eagerly awaiting a solo broadcast. Jungkook's absence from live streams has sparked concern among fans, with some attributing it to his recent controversies. However, others believe it was a natural adjustment to his civilian life after being away for 18 months. Fans concerned over Jungkook's lack of Weverse updates The golden maknae (youngest member) of BTS was previously known for frequently engaging with fans through unannounced, late-night livestreams on the platform, specifically in 2023-24. His sudden absence from this routine has left some fans surprised and wondering about his whereabouts. They took to social media to raise questions such as "When is Jungkook going live? " and 'Why is he so quiet?' This social detox of the artist has also met with a wave of support from other fans, who argued that the singer has every right to take his time and shouldn't be pressured into maintaining a certain level of activity or interaction with his audience. They also listed down the possible reasons for the same. Fans attribute Jungkook's lack of solo lives to his latest controversies Recently, the Seven singer was under heavy scrutiny due to being embroiled in two "unpleasant things" just days after his military discharge. The day Jungkook got discharged, a Chinese woman attempted to break-in to his Seoul house. She allegedly loitered around his house for about 10 hours, waiting to meet him. The woman has been caught and is currently under police investigation. The next unfavorable incident occurred on June 13, during J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL concert's soundcheck session. Jungkook was preparing for his surprise act, when he was seen donning a cap with a controversial text– "Make Japan Great Again". The phrase is considered to be politically right-inclined, as it stemmed from Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Fans think these controversies have likely taken a toll on his mental state, which is why they're supporting and respecting his decision to stay away from the spotlight as long as he feels like.
