“What is this person doing? Some fan is asking for Jungkook’s phone number. Really a funny person… please get out.”
Despite Mingyu trying to look unbothered, he was definitely annoyed by the request and the fan’s intentions to invade the BTS member’s privacy, so the SEVENTEEN reaction was praise on social networks with comments like
Someone asked for Jungkook's phone number during Mingyu's recent live. This is absurd. Idols are people with lives and a right to privacy just like everyone else. Learn some manners and basic decency and show some ounce of respect.
