On this day, the youngest members of BTS lit up social media with a series of back-to-back live broadcasts. In particular, the return of the “Golden Maknae” and his iconic karaoke concert after a two-year hiatus created an online frenzy — and it happened right after his joint livestream with Jimin.
Not only did Jungkook delight fans by singing 40 songs in just two hours, but he also surprised everyone by opening up about his emotional reaction to the current No. 1 animated film on Netflix, K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Specifically, the idol confessed that he cried while watching the кσяєαn animated action film, and even jokingly called one of the characters — Jinu — a "fool" out of a mix of sadness and affection.
“I watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS and I cried. I cried. At the end. When they were doing with the Saja Boys and when she said that she was going to make a Honmoon by herself and ran into the stadium. And I went oh and [tears] dropped,” Jungkook shared.
Just a few short sentences were enough to show fans how deeply Jungkook was moved by the film’s emotionally charged twist — the moment when Jinu sacrifices himself to protect Rumi, the female lead, after a heart-wrenching journey of inner turmoil.
Jinu, the leader of the Saja Boys, is revealed to be a demon with a painful past. Though once consumed by guilt and darkness, he finds hope and empathy through Rumi — a girl with half-demon вℓσσ∂ who hides her identity out of shame.
In the final scenes, Jinu and Rumi share a powerful duet, during which Jinu transfers the last of his strength to help Rumi complete the Honmoon. His sacrifice becomes an act of redemption, freeing his soul and empowering the girl he’s come to care for. It’s a moment that нιтs especially hard — and clearly tugged at Jungkook’s heartstrings.
Online, fans couldn't stop sharing the clip of Jungkook talking about the film. Many joked that he wasn’t just crying because he was moved, but also lovingly scolding Jinu for making everyone cry too. Comments like “Jungkook called Jinu a fool and honestly? Same.” or “If even Jungkook cried, we’re not weak!” quickly became inside jokes among international ARMYs.
And it wasn’t just fans who reacted — even Netflix couldn’t resist jumping in. In a hilarious and very on-brand move, the official Netflix Twitter account changed its profile photo to a picture of Jungkook wiping his eyes like he was crying, and updated its bio to: “Jungkook watched kpop demon hunters”.
The gesture instantly went viral, sparking a flood of comments such as:
- Netflix is officially a Jungkook fangirl now.
- When Jungkook mentions you, you change your whole profile out of pride.
- Netflix is faster at going viral than fandom fanpages!
- They changed it back already. Put it for 2 mins and changed it oh they wanted that jungkook validation & attention from us, they got it & changed lol

- First "BTS NOTICED SAJA BOYS" & now "Jungkook watched kpop demon hunters" in the bio.. Netflix i know what you are

- Cause at the end of the day, everyone needs Jungkook's validation
- Netflix u gotta be serious using our boyz for more promo i mean isn't it enough now

This playful response from Netflix not only highlights Jungkook’s insane viral power but also reaffirms BTS’s undeniable influence on global pop culture — where even a spontaneous emotional reaction can ripple across platforms and boost viewership and buzz for an entire film.
Thanks to Jungkook’s heartfelt endorsement, K-Pop Demon Hunters just got an υиєχρє¢тє∂ — but powerful — surge in both media attention and global streams.
