Well, once one has given love and admiration to BTS, I am sure that it will be difficult for any of the fans to say goodbye to them after that. But there is a reality that we also need to accept that change is always present, there are many fans who have left the fandom for many different reasons.
Jungkook is also aware of this and he also has his own thoughts about fans leaving the group and fandom. He even sent touching messages to fans who are no longer ARMYs and fans who intend to leave the fandom. Many fans were moved to tears after hearing what he said.
Below is what Jungkook shared about fans wanting to leave BTS and the ARMY fandom:
There is no doubt that ARMY is considered an exemplary symbol of strength and cohesion among fans. BTS also owns a fandom with the most loyal fans over the years. However, with the group having been active for a decade, it is acceptable that many fans no longer support the group.
For fans in general, loyalty to a idol group can last forever or can also be short-lived. It's like any other romantic relationship and it's natural for a fan to leave the fandom at any time. Besides, there are also many influencing factors that lead to a change in their admiration for the group.
Often, many people think that people who have left the fandom are not as worthy of being remembered or valued as fans who have been with them for a long time. But for Jungkook, he has his own and different thoughts about the departure of the fans who supported him and BTS.
During the live broadcast, Jungkook shared his feelings and beautiful messages to the fans who left the fandom. Jungkook shows a mature and sincere thought towards both his current fans as well as the fans who have left.
Specifically, in a direct conversation with fans, Jungkook suddenly mentioned that there are fans who no longer love BTS. He knows that it's no surprise that fans come and go and he has learned to accept such situations. He even had the courage to say goodbye to fans who left the fandom.
He sincerely said: “There are some of you who may have already left. But I still want to thank you all no matter when you used to love us. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all those moments with us.”
Instead of criticizing or disrespecting those who left the fandom, Jungkook showed a surprising amount of respect for their decision. To other fans, Jungkook also quite subtly pointed out that they can leave anytime they want but one thing that doesn't change is that he and BTS are always there whenever they need them. Jungkook did not force him but just wanted ARMY to be with BTS with sincere love.
He said that: “I’ll always stay here. Whenever ARMY wants to see me, you can come here anytime. Also when you have to leave or when you want to leave, you can leave at any time. whenever you want. But as long as you remember this, I will always stay here”.
Jungkook's thoughts about fans have never been more mature and civilized. In particular, he did not hesitate to face the fact that some admiration is not forever and also expressed his gratitude to those who created memories with BTS. He appreciates what they did for the group in the past and they are still beautiful memories that he has never forgotten.
The beautiful message that Jungkook sent to those who were ARMYs and then left the fandom as well as those who are fans of the group showed his sincere behavior towards his fans. It's no exaggeration to say that Jungkook is one of the most straightforward, honest and lovable idols now.
