BTS’ maknae Jungkook is gearing up for the release of his docu-series I Am Still. Ahead of the series’ release,numerous individuals, including those commenting on official posts, such as Trafalgar, a venue and theatre management company, are calling for the cancellation of documentary screenings featuring Jung Kook's I AM STILL in Israel.
ARMY Demand HYBE To Cancel Jungkook: I Am Still's Screening
The demand to cancel screenings of JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL in Israel is a response to the ongoing conflict in Palestine, which has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis. With reports of over 40,000 deaths, including 16,500 children, and 92,981 injuries in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, many consider it unethical for HYBE to release the film in Israel, given the country's role in the conflict and its status as an "apartheid state" due to its occupation of Palestinian territories.
Netizens argue that releasing the film in Israel during this time would be insensitive and ignore the suffering of the Palestinian people.
"I AM STILL" movie is being shown in Israel. A genocidal state that is murdering the people of palestine. BOYCOTT AND INSTEAD DONATE THE TICKET MONEY TO THIS PCRF CAMPAIGN

We demand that you cancel the screening of Jungkook’s movie I Am Still in Israel. The fact that other artists have released movies with Trafalgar but not in Israel shows this is a deliberate choice by @HYBEOFFICIALtwt to release movies in a place committing genocide. We say…
