Jungkook recently conducted a live broadcast with fans to share about the release of his new album "Golden". He made fans happy by sharing many interesting things during the process of making his first solo album as well as the emotions he experienced.
But one notable thing during the live broadcast was a strange comment about asking him to release kσrєαn songs instead of another English. Meanwhile, faced with this comment, Jungkook gave a straightforward answer, resolving this issue. Fans had nothing but applause for his answer.
Below is the situation where Jungkook responded to an unhappy comment during his live broadcast:
On this day, Jungkook released his debut solo album titled 'GOLDEN' with a total of 11 songs, showing off a completely new and unique musical style compared to his before. A special feature of Jungkook's album is that all of the songs are performed in English.
Not only that, there are many famous foreign pop stars and composers who participated in the production of this album, including British singer Ed Sheeran, Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, hip group -electronic hop Major Lazer, DJ Snake, producer Bloodpop and David Stewart....while Lato, Jack Harlow,...contributed their voice in the songs.
Not only that, Jungkook also announced the overseas promotion schedule for "Golden" when he has many activities in North αмєяι¢α such as appearing on NBC's famous talk show 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' and 'Today Show' NBC's 'CitiConcert Series'...It clearly shows that the goal as he mentioned before is that his album hopes to expand towards the overseas market.
Previously, he revealed the reason why all 11 songs were sung in English: "This album was prepared for the overseas music market, so we chose all English songs. I had a lot of pronunciation problems while recording. Despite the difficulties, I'm very happy that all the songs turned out well in the end".
Even though Jungkook gave such a clear reason, during today's live broadcast, there were still fans complaining about him releasing English songs. Not only that, Jungkook also äċċïďệńẗally read a comment asking him to release the song in kσrєαn or wondering why he only released the song in English with US-UK artists.
Faced with this reaction from toxic individuals, Jungkook not only did not express his discomfort, but he also gave an answer that completely resolved this situation. He frankly said: "Of course I will! I'm kσrєαn after all. I don't know if it'll be a single or what it will be, but I will of course to it!".
In an interview before releasing his solo album, Jungkook also answered about releasing kσrєαn songs in his future solo activities. He said: "Musically, I always want to challenge myself, and I’m trying to think of different ways to show different sides of myself and I want to present you with a kσrєαn song as soon as I have the opportunity, so please look forward to it.”
Obviously, for Jungkook, music is not only about language but also about things deep inside. Just like the fact that BTS sings in kσrєαn and can penetrate foreign markets, the fact that BTS in general, or Jungkook in particular, sings in English also has the same meaning. The important thing is how their music affects others, not just the language.
Controversy over the use of language in BTS's songs has existed for many years since they became worldwide superstars. Many ARMYs feel angry because every time BTS releases English music, there will be comments saying that the members have ŀöṩẗ their "nature", "are not kσrєαn", "follow αмєяι¢αn capitalism". etc... Meanwhile, the number of English songs by BTS accounts for a very small percentage of the group's career.
