BTS member Jungkook has called out fans for not respecting boundaries once again. In the latest Weverse Live, the Kpop star reflected on how fans sometimes click pictures with him without his consent, calling it 'disrespectful'.
He said during Weverse Live, "I went to see ‘hope’ by myself, and i happened to run into a few fans on the way out. I took some pictures with them and taking photos with people is totally fine. I have no problem with that!"
Jungkook continued, "I had gone into a bakery to buy some bread and all of a sudden there was someone standing right in front of me with a camera pointed at me like this. I don't really think that's very respectful."
He further added, "I don't care how old you are or where you're from... just shoving a camera in someone's face like that... I felt that was kind of rude. So, if this somehow reaches that person."
The BTS member mentioned that when others asked to take a photo first, he happily posed with them before enjoying his bread and coffee and heading home. He added that he really enjoyed 'HOPE' and had a great time.
Jungkook has set boundaries with his fans before. During a Weverse livestream after his Madrid concerts in June, fans repeatedly urged him to go to sleep. While he appreciated their concern, he gently reminded them that the decision was ultimately his to make.
Meanwhile, BTS—comprising RM, Jin, SUGA, Jhope, Jimin, V and Jungkook— is preparing to kick off the next leg of their Arirang World Tour after a short break. They will return to the stage on August 1st with two shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, followed by August stops in Foxborough, Baltimore, Arlington, Toronto and Chicago.
