BTS Jungkook was just an adult smoking
Jungkook, a member of the group BTS (BTS), has unintentionally been at the center of the debate due to the smoking paparazzi video.
Recently, a video was posted online showing Jungkook smoking on the streets of California, USA. Jungkook left for the U.S. via Incheon International Airport on Sept. 5 to meet his local schedule.
The released video is not a video taken with the consent of Jungkook, but a local paparazzi video. Jungkook was seen smoking with an acquaintance near the restaurant.
After the video was released, some spread groundless rumors that Jungkook smoked a non-smoking area and left his cigarette butts on the floor. However, according to the results of a fan’s phone call with a local restaurant and local law, the place where Jungkook stayed is a smoking area. It is known that Jungkook did not throw cigarette but threw cigarette ash on the floor.
There were also some netizens who complained about smoking on the street. However, Jungkook was born in 1997 and is a 27-year-old adult this year.
Meanwhile, Jungkook released his English solo digital single “Seven” (Seven) on July 14 and topped various domestic and foreign music charts.
Upon its release, “Seven” entered the U.S. Billboard’s main single chart “Hot 100” (July 29). It ranked third on the UK’s official single chart “Top 100,” breaking the highest debut ranking of Korean solo artists.
Jungkook created a global “Seven” syndrome by ranking third in “Most Streamed Songs This Summer” released by Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming company, “Weekly Top Song Global” for seven consecutive weeks, and “Daily Top Song Global” for more than 50 days.
Jungkook was nominated for the Song of Summer category for “Seven” at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on the 12th.
Jungkook will be the first Korean solo artist to headliner on the stage of the 2023 Global Citizen Festival at Central Park in New York on the 23rd.
