Encore is an indispensable part for artists when participating in music shows. It's like a performance to thank the aud̾i̾e ̾nce as well as a part for fans and idols to enjoy the fun after winning together.
However, recently, Jungkook's encore stage with Seven on Inkigayo caused a "big controversy" because of ARMY. Yes, you are not mistaken, the cause of the incident was his fans.
Even Jungkook himself mentioned the issue and even wanted a fan who made a "mistake" during that encore performance on Weverse. Here is the irony that happened:
On July 30, Jungkook performed his recently released single “Seven” on SBS's Inkigayo. This is a special stage to thank his fans after the great success of his solo debut song in the international as well as domestic market.
The #1 Billboard Hot 100 artist showcased her incredible talent in front of hundreds of super enthusiastic live aud̾i̾e ̾nces. Unsurprisingly at the end of the show, he went on to take home the trophy of the week from SBS Inkigayo. And so, Jungkook entered the encore performance with enthusiastic cheers from the fans.
At each weekly music show, right after the victory announcement will be the encore stage, where the winning idol celebrates with his fans. I thought this was just a stage where the idols performed comfortably and didn't need to pay too much attention to technique and quality because it was a stage to exchange and celebrate with fans. However, netizens' reactions to this stage were completely opposite. They always focus on the idol's performance to evaluate their true ability through the encore stage.
Most people think that encore is the stage that shows the most accurate talent of artists, especially idol groups because the stage is completely unstaged, without using overwriting, but completely with beats. origin. Therefore, it forces idols to sing 100% directly, and many idols have revealed their weaknesses such as weak live singing ability, awkward expressions when performing encore.
For Jungkook, his ability to sing live has never been a weakness and has always been praised as a capable singer. So yesterday's encore at Inkigayo wasn't soṃệẗḧing to worry about either. He completely captured the attention and appreciation of fans and netizens with his charming and powerful voice.
However, during his encore performance, ARMY's ability to sing live became the most talked about topic. This happened because some of the fans were singing slowly and with unclear lyrics because the lyrics were in English. There was even a fan who went a bit too enthusiastic when singing along to Jungkook's ḧïẗ song.
Even Jungkook noticed this and when he performed on stage, he laughed many times at the cute "mess" of ARMY. He was so funny that he later went to Weverse, where he asked fans to reveal himself.
He wrote on Weverse: "Who is that unique person at 3:37?… Come out, over (as in radio signal)."
He even called that fan during his live stream and revealed that a HYBE employee told him there was "controversy" about Jungkook's encore performance.
Jungkook searched for the one creating the "controversy" about ARMY's ability to sing live even when he went on Weverse Live: "Who was it? Who are you? I can’t sleep because I need to know. Who was it at 3:37? Monday, Tuesday, lol, who are you? I was just resting at home when an employee at the label told me there was a controversy over the encore performance, so I looked it up. Who are you?"
Well, this is really a big deal for ARMY as they are always written as a fandom with top fanchants and enthusiastic cheers. But now they have become the subject of controversy because of their idol's ability to sing live on their own songs, what a pity! And taking advantage of this cute incident, other fans started hyping the story:
- So funny! Who ever she was, I love her.
- My gawd ..I love her for singing her heart out ...
- In that onstage moment, he was so touched. It’s the good stuff like that, he will remember for a lifetime, because of how that one loud voice was wholeheartedly there for him! I hope he find her
- This is so funny and love that girl too haha i would do the same too if i was there
- Its real bcz we don't sing we literally shout the lyrics... What did he expect?

- I dont think she wants to show herself after jk live jajajaja

- Save yourself girl. Don't come out. Knowing you got his attention is enough. Smile in private, but don't expose yourself to public scrutiny. Pretend like you're at a Beyonce concert and mute

In fact, the other fans and Jungkook definitely appreciate the support of the ARMYs who were at Inkigayo yesterday regardless of their singing sk̾i̾l̾l ̾s. That incident still proves how cute support ARMYs give to Jungkook!
