Jungkook’s livestream on the 26th via Weverse has become a hot topic in recent hours, even after it was removed from the platform. Netizens were quite surprised by how candidly Jungkook confessed to his past smoking and openly expressed his inner struggles between living as a celebrity and preserving his personal identity.

His declaration, “I will live my life my own way,” felt like an attempt to break free from the constraints of being a K-pop idol — a position that constantly demands absolute perfection.

It is true that, in the eyes of a portion of fans and the public, there were regretful criticisms that he had been careless as a top star. However, rather than viewing this as simple rebellion or a crisis, it should be seen as the intense “growth pains” of a young man who has risen to become a global pop star.

On the other hand, being an idol does not mean having to be “absolutely perfect,” because no one is without flaws — and BTS is no exception. In fact, ARMY respects BTS even more because they are always willing to acknowledge their weaknesses and are not afraid to show vulnerable moments. It is precisely in those moments that idols become more authentic — and therefore, even more admirable.

In particular, there was a moment during Jungkook’s latest real-time broadcast that left fans both amused and flustered — when he blurted out profanity such as “이X” (this sht), “X발” (fck), “FXXK,” and even jokingly raised his middle finger while teasing a close friend.

This moment immediately reminded fans of a previous livestream in which Jungkook noticed that some ARMYs had a habit of commenting with the кσяєαn word “sibal.” He instantly accused SUGA of being the one who had “corrupted” ARMYs by teaching them that word, saying: "I didn’t use sw3ar words, I wrote s-word (S*bal) in ḳöŕệän. You wrote that in English. Oh that’s so funny. It’s because of Yoongi hyung. That’s right, Yoongi hyung. Yoongi hyung did it."

At the time, Jungkook implied that by sw3aring during several BTS performances — and even at solo concerts — SUGA had “set an example” for ARMYs to follow.

But now, Jungkook’s playful accusation toward SUGA seems ineffective, as he himself did the same in front of fans!

Humorous as it is, ARMYs also pointed out that such actions by BTS members in certain moments are simply emotional expressions, not attacks directed at anyone, and often just playful communication between close friends. Honestly, who hasn’t done the same thing with their closest bros at some point in life?

Moreover, ARMYs defended themselves by explaining that they do not use that profanity to attack anyone; rather, it has become a humorous habit or a way to express overwhelming excitement. However, fans are also becoming more aware that they should not overuse the “s” word. Even if it is not used with malicious intent, it remains profanity and should be used wisely.

It is also important to clarify that Jungkook’s past comment was not meant to criticize SUGA. Instead, it was simply part of his habit of teasing his older brother, knowing that SUGA would never scold the group’s youngest member.

Fans shared humorous reactions after these moments went viral:

- Jungkook blaming Yoongi hyung for teaching ARMY the s-word and then casually dropping it himself is the funniest plot twist of 2026

- Not Jungkook exposing SUGA for spoilling ARMYs only to join the s-word club himself 

- The way he said ‘Yoongi hyung did that’ so confidently… sir, you are now Yoongi hyung

- Jungkook: I don’t swear. Also Jungkook on live: drops s-word while laughing with friends. ARMYs: we support this duality

- He really tried to throw Yoongi under the bus and then drove the bus himself, but it’s okay, we love honest kings

- Plot twist in 2026: Jungkook just finally unlocked his true maknae chaos form

- The way Jungkook once held a whole press conference blaming Yoongi for the s-word and then...

- So we were corrupted by SUGA… but who corrupted Jungkook now?

- Yoongi somewhere laughing like ‘I raised him well.’

- Jungkook blamed ARMYs and Yoongi for saying s word and then he joined the trend. This family is unserious and I love it
