HYBE Responds Towards Viral Video Of Jungkook And His Girlfriend On SNS

As one of the world's top superstars with a large fan base, Jungkook easily becomes the top point of public attention. Not only that, he recently released his second single this year, which makes all the attention focus on him.

It includes many false rumors and even defamatory actions by toxic individuals targeting Jungkook. This morning, a viral video on SNS allegedly showing Jungkook and his "girlfriend" caused a stir among netizens. The couple's intimate actions in the video made this topic a hotly discussed issue.

In response to the viral video targeting Jungkook on SNS, кσяєαn media contacted вιg нιт Music's representative to receive an answer. Here's what they gathered:

Fans are clearly no stranger to the love rumors that have surrounded BTS members for the past decade. There were times like the dating rumors between V and Jennie that consumed a lot of ink from the press and comments from the aud̾i̾e ̾nce on SNS. But in the end, it was impossible to confirm whether it was real or fake because the owner did not speak up.

Meanwhile, ARMYs still believe that the BTS members will publicly announce their dating story if it really happens or they can hide it to the point that no one can detect it, not that it can be easily discovered through Some photos went viral. However, one thing that fans are also very upset about is that this false information and these photos or videos that are difficult to confirm as real or fake often have great consequences for their reputation as well as the purity of their private lives. 

Most recently, Jungkook continued to be in the spotlight of public opinion about dating after a viral video on SNS. The person who released the video wrote: "Jungkook's suspected love affair was exposed...It is suspected that Jungkook and his girlfriend hugged behind their back..." and includes a video allegedly showing Jungkook and his girlfriend embracing each other sweetly at his own home.

Some evidence was also added to show that it was actually Jungkook and their date location was his house. The image of the dog päṩṩing by with a tail that looks very similar to Bam - Jungkook's pet puppy or the position of the sofa and electrical outlet in the video also match the images often seen in his live broadcasts. 

Because the incident spread widely and кσяєαn media could not ignore this viral video, they quickly contacted вιg нιт Music to receive an answer. Like the case with other dating rumors, вιg нιт Music's representative refused to respond to this rumor.

Meanwhile, an industry official said that the dating news of a Kpop superstar like Jungkook has a great impact on not only the industry but also many other fields, so вιg нιт Music will have to consider carefully. In this case, because there is no clear evidence and it is not a mainstream media unit releasing the video, вιg нιт Music does not need to respond.

Similarly, while many people were interested in this new news, others expressed their horror at the stalking actions of ṗệŕṿệŕẗs rather than concern about whether Jungkook was dating or not. Most fans believe that if this is really a video at Jungkook's house, then monitoring and recording is a serious violation of Jungkook's privacy and should be stopped immediately:

- Man.... How creppy you must be to do somєthing like that.

- This is so f*cking disgusting i just can’t believe this sнιт, how low can people go do things like this. Violating someone’s privacy in this way, this is psychotic behaviour and whoever has done this needs to get mentally checked.

- There is a big privacy invasion! Report using the template, email to BIGHIT

- I can’t believe people even know where he lives!

- This is so messed up

- Why would anyone think this is OK to do??!! This is so far out of line and completely c̾r̾e̾e̾p̾y ̾!

- This is so c̾r̾e̾e̾p̾y ̾

- this stalking behaviour makes Jungkook feel unsafe in his own home

- imagine, knowing that strangers know your address and even filming you every hours is already scarry! this is disgusting & scarry!

- my god this is so scary i need everyone to leave jungkook alone… respect him and his privacy

Meanwhile, some people believe that the people in that video are not Jungkook and his girlfriend. This video is similar to other videos spreading false rumors about members of the group in the past: the quality is very blurry, it is impossible to see clearly and confirm whether it is an idol or not. Along with that, the fact that this person uploaded the video at the exact time that Jungkook had just released the MV also made this action suspected of intentionally sabotaging his reputation.
