A few moments ago, BTS‘ Jungkook took fans by surprise by starting a live stream and talking about his smoking habit, opening up with all viewers about his life and decisions being only his.
In the early hours of February 26 KST, the K-Pop idol went live through his Weverse account, inviting ARMYs to a fun karaoke night, drinks, and jokes with a friend and his brother at his house, showing his true drunk personality.
Amid the live interaction, Jungkook started opening up about his smoking habits, wondering why it was so controversial since he is a grown man and confessing that he already left this habit in the past due to his artistic abilities:
“I don’t smoke now, but still… why can’t I talk about this? I’m almost 30 now. I did smoke before, like a lot, but I worked hard to quit and did so.”

On social networks, fans support his decisions of what to do with his life but also praise his sincerity to talk about this even when he knows his company does not agree with this, proving how supported he feels by his fans.
“I am really happy and glad that he doesn’t smoke anymore…” “Quitting smoking is so damn hard I’m trying to quit too so proud of him,” “He doesn’t have to explain himself to anyone, it’s not his job to teach people who don’t get it.” “I’m actually glad he can talk about it comfortably. He’s human too.” “yes exactly tell themmm.”
