However, some users urged fellow fans to refrain from overanalyzing Jungkook’s comments and to watch the full clip instead, advocating against misinterpretations of his remarks.

“He was a true professional, and he was so admirably, a quality that has always defined him, alongside frankness and sincerity… Truly all this does him credit,”one netizen commented.

“lol. .he was describing the kayak incident he even said that #that show doesn’t feel like a show at all that #THAT travel show is his favorite it’s not like jimin and jungkook are together now in the military because it’s their own choice to choose the ‘buddy system’,”pointed out another X user.
