Jungkook of BTS is in everybody’s mouth these days. Our fave Kpop king has been blessing us with the catchiest tunes on the planet, first his song “Seven” and now we just can’t resist his new collaboration with Jack Harlow, titled “3D.” If you take a closer listen to the lyrics, you’ll find out that our Golden Maknae is not a little boy anymore, and he used his livestream to make this super clear!
The BTS member hosted a listening party on the Stationhead platform. As usual, he talked to fans through his livestream and exchanged words with them. But wait, plot twist! As Jungkook was streaming, one of the fans commented on the chat that he should do some “aegyo.”
Now, in case you are not very familiar with the term, it comes from Korean and it pretty much can be translated to “acting cute” or “acting like a child.” In terms of Korean culture, when someone uses “aegyo,” they start moving their hands around their faces in an adorable way, and raise their tone so they sound a little more nasal and childish. How cute!
While we are all about the “softness is my power” motto, it is totally understandable if some people are just really fed up with the little aegyo kind of thing. As they grow older, they probably feel more disconnected towards acting that way and feel cringe or embarrased to even try to do it. And guess what? That was the case for our Jungkook.
Getting back to the original tea, when the fan asked our Kpop king to star acting all cute and fluffy, he simply declined it and said he could not do it anymore, as he should! Jungkook has been vocal about treating his fans, also known as ARMY, with respect and love but he’s never agreed to fan-service them if he feels uncomfortable. This is what he said:
“Do you want me to show u aegyo? Ah, I seriously cannot do aegyo now, I can’t do it,” Jungkook spilled.
