Recently, Jungkook sent fans into a frenzy after he α¢¢ι∂єитally revealed his secret TikTok account on Weverse. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating his updates through this new social media account.
Meeting fans' expectations, after publicly opening a Tiktok account, Jungkook even made a live broadcast on it. However, he ran into some big trouble when fans interacted with him on the platform. It includes the fact that he gets a lot of gift stickers.
And in this latest live stream, Jungkook informed ARMYs that he found a way to stop it. He even enjoys joking around with his fans because of this:
Jungkook used an account with the alias “Ian” before going public with his Tiktok account. Until now, his Tiktok account has reached nearly 8 million followers even though it is just a regular user account.
Although he told fans he wouldn't be using the account much because it was "revealed", he later posted a dance challenge with SEVENTEEN's Mingyu and interacted with the members. videos of other fans. Not only that, but fans were excitedly browsing his account when Jungkook surprised them with a surprise live broadcast on the platform on August 3rd.
He held a short live stream on the platform, telling fans he turned it on just because he was "curious". However, with just a few short minutes, Jungkook's broadcast also encountered a "storm" of virtual gifts from viewers on Tiktok.
For those new to the platform, TikTok allows users to purchase gifts directly and send them to their favorite creators during the live stream. Recipients earn a percentage of what viewers spend on gifts.
Even Jungkook was amazed by these gift stickers and didn't know about them until asking ARMYs during a later live broadcast on Weverse when he admitted that he wasn't familiar with how the feature worked. go live on TikTok. When ARMYs informed him that viewers bought those virtual stickers with real money to give to the streamers, he was confused and asked again if there was a way to turn the feature off.
When he realized that there was no way to do so, he made a sweet request to ARMYs that they should no longer give him virtual gifts, instead, he wanted them to use the money to buy them. delicious food. He also said that he went live just because he missed ARMYs: "I went on tiktok live earlier & weird things kept popping up. Is there a way to turn that off? Ah you can't? Then don't send it ah don't send them on TikTok. Use it to buy yourself some yummy foods! I don't know how much it is but don't send it. I came here because I missed you. Sigh, I should clean my house on a day off".
Needless to say, how touched ARMYs were by Jungkook's kind words. But those aren't the only things Jungkook has done thinking for ARMYs since the last time he messed with gifts on Tiktok Live.
Luckily, after that, with some help, Jungkook managed to turn off virtual gifting and thus, fans can't gift him if he does a live broadcast. Jungkook himself happily revealed this during the Weverse Live broadcast last night after SUGA's concert.
He even teased ARMYs because he found a way to stop them with the storm of "virtual gifts": "The gift function is off. That's a relief.*teasing* Hehe you can't send gifts anymore~ You can't send me gifts~".
