BTS Jungkook’s Drunk And “Chaotic” Live Stream Flamed By Netizens
As the controversy continued, an acquaintance of the restaurant owner in which Jungkook ate at before his live broadcast, left a message about him online.
“Hello, I am a close acquaintance of the owner of the restaurant where Jungkook first ate on he day he did his live broadcast. I heard that Jungkook talked about his love for ARMY during his conversation that day. Since the restaurant is small, a lot of what he said could be overheard. It seems like he’s been getting a lot of hate recently, so I couldn’t just ignore it and wanted to say something. This is my first time using this platform, so I’m not sure how to write this since I’m not good with words.
Anyway, I was told that he seemed like someone who was the same on the inside and outside. And even though no one asked, he mentioned that the part-time workers who were off that day might feel disappointed, so he signed autographs in advance for all of them before he left.”
