On the night of December 18, KST, Jungkook, who is currently serving in the military, suddenly broke into the ARMY fandom with a live broadcast. Fans were overwhelmed with emotion as they had not been able to talk to him for more than a year.

Jungkook also felt the same way and took the rare time to confide in his fans. In particular, he revealed his weak feelings as he worried that he would become weaker than other idols after his discharge.

ARMYs were heartbroken after hearing his sharing. Afterwards, they left many comments cheering and reαѕѕuring him:

Well, I bet many fans still can't calm down after Jungkook's surprise visit last night. As an early Christmas present, Jungkook went live on Weverse Live after more than a year since his military service.

Not only that, he also made fans go crazy when he shared that he recently moved to a new 2-story house. He even generously showed off some corners of his new house to ARMYs and made them giggle when they saw lots of alcoholic drinks, LED lights, and karaoke in the house.

In that context, his iconic mini concert live broadcast returned, making fans excited. He performed many trending songs at the moment such as Magnetic, Home Sweet Home,... showing how he is keeping up with the trend despite being in the military.

However, behind that bubbly Jungkook, there was a moment that made fans realize how vulnerable he is when he shared about his insecurities as an idol. BTS's youngest admitted that his confidence has been affected recently, and he struggled with the thought of his fans. He also jokingly mentioned that at one point he was considering taking up cooking as an alternative.

He said: "Everyone's so good at singing lately. To be honest, my confidence has gone down lately, and when I think of you guys, I'm 100% sure, definitely, no doubt that it we come up again, but it's just quite down now. I was even thinking if I should start cooking..."

He didn’t stop there, he reiterated the same concern, explaining it further. Jungkook expressed his frustration at watching other singers and feeling the urge to do better on stage but not being able to do much while he was in the military. The urgency in him to hurry up and focus on his singing, juxtaposed with his enlistment, has led to somewhat of a drop in his self-esteem. Jungkook admitted that he couldn’t talk about this to many people and has been largely battling these thoughts on his own.

He continued: "The truth is, there’s really not much to talk about. Honestly, all I can say is that I just really missed you. As for my daily life, it’s the same as usual. I mean, that’s how it is for me. I just live diligently, and then I watch other singers and think, 'I want to get on stage soon. I need to do better.' Recently, I’ve been feeling, what should I say, a bit of insecure, or maybe a sense of inferiority. It’s just that... I’m in a position where I can’t do much here, so when I see other singers, I feel like I need to hurry and do soмєтнing, you know?... So, I think my self-esteem has dropped a bit, and that’s probably where all these feelings came from. So, I’ve been kind of shrinking inwardly, and that’s why I think you guys have been wanting to see me more. Honestly, there aren’t many people I can talk to about this, so I’ve just been thinking about it on my own. But it was really nice to meet you all through the live".

After the live stream, ARMYs realized that the anxiety of not being able to keep up with other artists exists even in a superstar like Jungkook. But fans believe he will soon return to the top after his discharge as the pαѕѕion still burns brightly in his heart.

Even Jungkook revealed that he and Jimin talk about songs frequently or humming them. They often go a little away from others and sing loudly as well. It is the way they practice during their enlistment. The transition from full-time artist to sol∂ιєr may have been difficult for Jungkook, but his warrior spirit has never ∂ιєd.

ARMYs were quick to take to social media to show their support for the singer and express their gratitude for him trusting them enough to share this vulnerable moment with them:

- The way he always openly say we are his home that whenever he needs comfort, he can just go home to us. You are our home, too Jungkook. I hope you know that.

- pls he’s so honest and genuine w us, it feels like we’re his safe space

- After going, going, going for more than half of his life… to have to come to an abrupt halt for 18 mths, I can imagine why he feels like this. I always admire his openess regarding his mental state. I hope he finds a way to work thru these feelings & knows we support him

- hayyyyyy he loves and trusts us so much IT HURTS

- that was such a very honest take from him and thank u for sharing that with us googie. we might not really understand what’s happening there but you’ll get through this and sooner or later you’ll be performing back on stage again

- мιѕѕιиg members, us and stage so much. free my star candy rn

- I'm happy we can be here for him and so thankful that he trusts us to share his inner thoughts to. I hope it helped take some of the pressure and burden off of him.

- I hope he gets his confidence back :((( you're an amazing artist jk

- I'm crying once again I do love him. I miss him and him feeling eager to go back to performing and do better is just his pure essence. I cannot stand the fact of him feeling kinda unconfident tho bc he's a wonderful artist our golden star, he deserves all the reαѕѕurance possible

- I'm actually not surprised that Jungkook has imposter syndrome. The fame and immense pressure can surely wear him down. At the military he must have been reflecting on his career. I hope his hyungs tell him how kind, sincere and immensely talented he is. Such a precious bean

- Dude... you're on hiatus but keep winning awards left and right, breaking record everywhere, people keep mentioning your name and impact, and ARMY will always wait for you. There's nothing you have to worry about  he really needs to know this
