I want to paste this everywhere!!!!!
Jungkook: And there’s not much I want to say to people who’s just focusing on criticizing me. Thanks for your attention. If you get sued yeah it’s really not my concern. yeah thank you for your interest anyway…
RM should have just released Arirang as his latest flop solo release rather than try to stay relevant by exploiting the group. Glad I no longer support BTS. Like all other solos we just await their official disbandment

I don’t know. This isn��t something I’ve discussed with the company or anything. It’s just that I’m feeling a bit frustrated. I know saying this will probably cause me more trouble, but… I don’t know.
I’m just someone who really loves singing, loves music, loves the stage, loves hearing your cheers, loves seeing you all. I’m someone who wants to be candid/frank. If I’ve done something wrong, I want to be able to admit it. I don’t know. You guys, the people who support me—(*talking to himself) so bad at talking, you idiot—there are many people who support me, and there are also all very diverse people out there. But, still, there’s ARMY, right? And within those who are part of ARMY, there are many different kinds of people. What I want to tell you is this—though I can’t say it directly, it’s sensitive.
There’s nothing that can replace you. What I mean is, without you guys—ah, damn, I don’t even know how to put this, I’m sorry everyone—if I didn’t have ARMY, if ARMY didn’t exist… even so, sure, I might still feel h—no not happiness—, I might still feel joy in certain moments, I might still have pleasure, in certain moments, just in those fleeting moments. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, there must be lots of things I learn as I live my life. Even if you don't understand, I don't know, I'll just put it in my way of saying it.
The reason I want to sing well, is it for my family? No. Is it for the people I like? No. Is it because of the members? No. The reason I want to dance well, the reason I listen to music—it’s not because of the members, not because of the people I like, and not because of my family. I’m a very simple person. I don’t really listen to music in my daily life. I only listen to it because I want to get better. Because I don’t want to fall behind. I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore. I’m just stuck. There’s really only one reason why I want to do well. Just one. You guys love me, and naturally there are more who do. But putting that aside, the people who actually make me want to do something, who create that desire in me… it’s really only you guys, the people watching this live right now.
I know there are many people who don’t support me, who hate me, who want to tear me down, or even want me dead. There probably are many who hate me. So what? I don’t care. I have those who have supported me—those who recognize that I think for myself and that I’m a person with a sincere heart. No, but, if I say it that way, it feels like I’m being too selfish. That’s not it either. People can get hurt, they can get hurt because of me. It’s not that I don’t understand that, so I don’t know how to say this. I’m not good with words like Namjoon hyung. I don’t know what to do. I’m not someone who reads a lot, and I’m not someone who speaks logically and precisely. I just want my heart to be delivered—f*ck—what should I do? This is so annoying. These days, while preparing things, my thoughts and my personality have changed much. I’m just feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know how I should say what I want to say. This is driving me crazy. It's annoying.
The reason I sing and dance—like I’ve always said in interviews—is because there are people watching. If no one’s watching, why would I sing or dance? That’s true, isn't it? If no one’s watching, why would I write songs? There’s no reason to. That’s the one thing I wanted to say. Everything I do—how I move, what I want to do, what I have to do—it’s not because I’m completely free* (Note: doing whatever I please). It’s because you guys are waiting for me. I’m not asking you to acknowledge this. I just wanted to say it. That’s all. You don’t even have to understand.
I should probably delete this live. I just… I don’t know. Let’s delete it. It’ll probably end up on YouTube. Ah, I shouldn’t have done this live, why did I? So annoying. I’m sorry, everyone. I don’t know. I guess I was just holding a lot in. I’m human too. I’m someone with a limit to how much I can handle. I’m the type of person whose frustrations overflow once time passes. I don’t know. I just want to enjoy. Though it’s probably not possible. I know all too well that I live a more comfortable life than others. I’m sorry for starting this live before I had my thoughts organized. I wish I could say it clearly, but I don’t fully understand my emotions. Anyway, putting all that aside. To all ARMYs who have come to this live and are leaving comments, and even to those who might be leaving hate comments—thank you all, because it’s still a form of interest. I’ll leave this here. Is it because the comeback is coming soon that I have so many thoughts? I don’t lack confidence. The music turned out great.

*note: for this part, taking a single sentence out of context doesn’t do him justice; focus on his overall intent—which is to emphasize just how much armys truly mean to him
“I’m a musician, I’m an idol, and I’m at the very center of K-pop. If it were just me, if I were a solo artist, someone working on my own, I probably would have said what was on my mind without worrying about anything.”
— Jungkook, 26.02.2026
The South Korean superstar returns as the face of Calvin Klein’s Spring 2026 denim campaign, a project that leans heavily into ’90s nostalgia.
