ARMYs Express Outrage As Fans Mob Jungkook For Autographs & Photos At A Restaurant, Sparking Safety Concerns

Everyone is well aware of Jungkook’s personality—kind, friendly, and always sincere toward ARMYs. There are very few requests from fans that fall within his ability that he would refuse to fulfill. Even after experiencing extreme behavior from certain fans who stalked and harαѕѕed him at his home, practice studio, or by sending deliveries directly to his residence, he has never allowed those experiences to make him hostile toward fans as a whole.

Many fans who have been lucky enough to run into him in public—outside of any official schedule—have still been greeted by him warmly and politely. Earlier this month in particular, fans were surprised to see a series of photos and videos circulating on social media showing Jungkook interacting with numerous people outside a grilled rib restaurant. It was later revealed that Jungkook and his manager had dined there beforehand.

In the clips, Jungkook can be seen posing for photos and responding to autograph requests from many individuals, regardless of whether they were confirmed fans or not. At first, some viewers interpreted the moment as a simple display of his kindness. However, the crowd surrounding him continued to grow and even he repeatedly refused the requests of the growing crowd, but they still would not let him leave.

Many netizens pointed out that the number of people gathered around him had effectively turned the situation into a mini fansign—despite the fact that this was his private time, not an official schedule, and that there was no security present.

Online reactions soon shifted away from Jungkook’s actions and focused instead on the behavior of those approaching him. Commenters expressed discomfort at how closely he was being surrounded and questioned whether his consent and personal space were being respected. Some users emphasized that chance encounters should not turn into impromptu fan events.

One comment read: "They cornered him while he said no. That’s not a fansign. Let’s not spread this or hype this up. It’s sick".

The incident also sparked broader discussions within the fan community about respecting artists’ personal boundaries. Many fans stressed that safety and personal space should always take priority over fulfilling individual desires such as taking photos or asking for autographs.

The discussion escalated further when some fans discovered that one of the women who took photos with Jungkook that day was actually an anti-fan. Based on gathered evidence, she was revealed to be a fan of another girl group and had a long history of opposing Jungkook. In the past, she had posted and shared content criticizing Jungkook’s personal life, particularly spreading false dating rumors.

Despite this, she reportedly approached Jungkook while pretending to be a genuine fan in order to obtain his autograph and take selfies with him, which she then uploaded to her personal social media accounts to attract attention. What angered fans even more was not only that she impersonated an ARMY, but that after posting the photos with Jungkook, she went on to leave negative and rude remarks about him in the comment sections and in private WeChat conversations with friends.

Once her identity and the supporting evidence were revealed, she immediately became the target of intense backlash—particularly from BTS and Jungkook fans in ¢нιиα. Many reported that she repeatedly changed her profile picture and username on social media in an attempt to avoid being tracked and to evade further criticism from fans.

At this point, the gathering of people surrounding Jungkook had gone far beyond merely intruding on his private life. Jungkook had become a victim of his kindness being exploited without his knowledge, making the situation all the more нєαятвяєαкιиg. Fans flooded the comment sections under the videos and photos, expressing their anger over the situation:

- He is continuously saying no and they still keep on asking him to do stuff, these вιт¢нes have cornered him, losers don't deserve kindness
