As fans are well aware, JK's lives are never complete without a karaoke session and the singer sang Big Bang's songs, BLACKPINK Rose-Bruno Mars' APT., Bruno Mars-Lady Gaga's Die With A Smile, and the OST Love You With All My Heart By Crush from hit Kdrama Queen of Tears, Winter Head and more. Fans also requested the 27-year-old K-pop idol to sing BTS songs but the singer replied that he will sing those songs with other members soon.
During the live, Jungkook also interacted with fans enthusiastically sharing anecdotes from his life. The first thing he asked was if his fans were keeping well and he concluded the live with the words, "I miss you." He also reassured fans that Jimin, who is doing service with him is also doing well.
The singer also gave a tour of his new house, requested his fans respect his privacy, and asked his sasaeng (obsessive) fans not to visit his house. He also asked fans not to send presents and letters to his address. If they want to send letters, they should send them to the company's address. He also addressed the trolls targeted toward his pet dog, Bam, with love.
Jungkook also launched a YouTube channel recently, titled Bam's Dad, which left his fans brimming with excitement. For the singer's fans, this unexpected live session proved to be a blessing as his cheerful personality and melodious voice brought happiness to fans who had eagerly been waiting for an update about the singer. His dedication to connecting with ARMY over a break tells a lot about his unparalleled love for his fans.
Jungkook is the youngest member of the popular boy band BTS, and currently, he is fulfilling his mandatory military service in South Korea along with other band members- RM, Jimin, Suga, and Taehyung. This live was possible because the golden maknae of BTS is currently on a break from his military service. For those unversed, South Korea has a mandatory military service in its conscription for men between the ages of 18 to 35. He will sign off from his military duties by June 2025.
