BTS Jungkook has once again found himself at the centre of fan discussions. This time, it's not about his music or stage presence but a scene in BTS' new Disney+ reality show, Are You Sure?!, where Jungkook and Jimin explore various destinations like the United States, Jeju Island in South Korea and Sapporo in Japan. The show, which has been a hit since its premiere on August 8, offers fans an intimate glimpse into the lives of the duo as they unwind from their hectic schedules.
In one particular episode, a brief moment caught the attention of ARMYs worldwide. A clip shows Jungkook lying in bed, holding an object that fans believe could be a vape. This speculation stems from Jungkook's previous admission on Weverse that he vapes, making the scene less surprising but still intriguing. The fact that the scene wasn’t edited out has sparked curiosity among fans, who are used to BIGHIT MUSIC's efforts to maintain the idols’ clean-cut image.
The reaction from the fandom has been mixed but mostly accepting. Some fans are surprised that the scene passed the usual editorial checks, considering the company’s protective stance over the members' public images. Others, however, seem unfazed by the possibility, recalling how Jungkook had previously been spotted smoking, which also generated buzz but didn't affect his popularity.
One fan pointed out, “Why do I feel like he’s vaping in this scene, but the quality makes it hard to see?” This comment reflects the uncertainty among viewers, as the grainy quality of the clip makes it difficult to definitively identify what Jungkook is holding. However, those familiar with vaping have pointed out a “blue light” that they believe confirms their suspicions.

Interestingly, this incident has drawn comparisons to a previous situation involving fellow BTS member V, who was seen smoking outdoors during the Grammys. While that incident initially caused a stir, the reaction this time around seems more relaxed. Some fans are simply amused by the situation, with one commenting, “The way he was caught smoking before and still went viral for looking hot—I promise you no one gaf about it.”
Despite the ongoing discussions, many fans are rallying in support of Jungkook, with some speculating that the scene might have been misinterpreted. “Y'all be saying JK was vaping on camera in Are You Sure?! but my man was on his phone only,” one fan argued, suggesting that Jungkook wouldn't vape, especially given his recent throat issues.
