Recently, BTS’s Jungkook has been in hot water for his recent live stream with fans.
In his live stream, he touched base on a number of topics, from wanting to follow his own desires without thinking about his idol image…

…to admitting to being drunk and mentioning his smoking habits.

With this, many netizens agreed that if the gender had been changed and it was a female idol who held a controversial broadcast like Jungkook, they would’ve been outed from the industry for good.
전정국 라이브에서 하나라도 여돌이 했어봐 절대 복귀 못하고 평생 조리돌림당함

If a female idol did even just one thing that Jungkook talked about in his live broadcast, she would never be able to step foot back in the industry and be a laughing stock for the rest of her life. Jungkook, if you like smoking that much, then quit being an idol.
여돌이었으면 담배랑 관련됐든 아니든 온갖 궁예하면서 쇼츠로 돌아다니고, 담배 피워서 삑사리가 난다 뭐다 공인인데 말 조심 안 한다 온갖 엱병을 다 했을 텐데 왜 이렇게 남돌한테만 미국에서 성공했다고 방탄이 본투비 팝스타 됨? 쨌든 케이팝으로 떠서 근본은 아이돌인 것을 ㅇㅇ https://t.co/Ye2yixZ0Be

If it were a female idol, regardless of whether it was about smoking, there would’ve been speculation all over social media and they would have been attacked for anything that they do. Why is it that they make it seem like male idols are born-to-be pop stars just because they succeeded in the U.S.? Either way, they need to know that they rose to fame because of K-Pop and that they are idols.

Look at it simply. Imagine if Winter did this. There would have been a handwritten apology letter or a statement released by the company by morning.
그러게 여돌들이었으면 지금쯤 매장당했을텐데.. https://t.co/1m3WVV8YU5

Seriously, if this was a female idol, she would’ve already been canceled.
Meanwhile, Jungkook was recently bashed for his lack of humble behavior.
