Jung Kook held a candid livestream on Weverse and discussed sasaengs, showed his buzz-cut, talked about Bam and revealed military service plans.
While walking home, Jung Kook said, as translated by an X user, "Even nowadays there are sasaengs in front of my house. That's enough coming you b******s. Don't cross the line, you creep." He also said, as per another X user, "Ah I'm tired. I can't work out more. My stamina has dropped a lot."
BTS ARMY had also requested the 'Standing Next to You' singer to show his shaved head. He said, "You want me to show my hair? Well, I guess photos will come out when I go. What's the point of uploading (separately)? I won't show my hair. Later later.. at least one day before I go. What's the point of showing now, there's a few days left.. don't you think?" When a fan said, "Jungkook with no hair is handsome", the BTS member replied, "You mean to say I'm handsome even without hair? I don't think so." Soon after, he quickly gave a few glimpses of his buzz-cut.
Talking about the period of his military service, Jung Kook said, "1.5 years is pretty short. If you guys just keep doing as you're doing right now, it'll be fine. We have prepared a lot of things for you. I was actually working on something but I only managed to finish half of it. I also ended up cutting my hair pretty quickly so I kind of regretted it but yeah.. just wait for like a year and a half when I come back okay? Ah I gave a big spoiler, didn't I?"
During the live, Jung Kook said that he wanted to drink in huge amounts before departing for the military. After rearranging his fridge, he showed the drinks to his fans. When asked if it was his "last live," he responded, "Nope. Maybe not?"
He also talked about going and meeting his pet dog Bam. He shared, "I wanna go see Bam once before I go, like 'Bam, dad is gonna go and come back from the military!' Maybe later on on my TikTok, it might be full of Bam. I might not have an Instagram account but there might be one for Bam."
Jung Kook, along with his bandmates - RM, Jimin and V - are ready to enlist in the mandatory South Korean military. However, their enlistment dates are not disclosed yet. The other three other members – Jin, j-hope and Suga – have already started their military duties.
The group is set to make a comeback in 2025.
