The singer went live to unwind, chat with ARMY and spend some relaxed time online. What began as a casual conversation, however, soon turned into an honest discussion about personal boundaries and the pressures that come with being one of the world’s biggest pop stars. During the livestream, Jungkook noticed several fans repeatedly asking him to end the broadcast and go to sleep. To this, he gently explained that he wanted to make his own decisions about his daily life. His response quickly went viral, with many fans praising the singer speaking openly about the importance of respecting an artist’s personal space.
BTS Jungkook asks fans to respect his personal choices
After wrapping up the Madrid concert, BTS’ JK went for a Weverse livestream to relax, Jungkook responded after noticing repeated comments telling him to go to bed. The singer thanked fans for caring about his wellbeing but explained that he would rather decide for himself when to sleep. He shared that he has struggled with sleeping for a long time and even relies on medication to help him rest. Jungkook clarified that staying awake late at night is normal for him and does not necessarily mean he is overworking himself.
He said, “I’m sorry, but please don’t tell me to go to bed. Don’t tell me to go to bed. I’ll sleep when I decide to,” he said. “I appreciate that you’re worried about me, and I know you’re saying it because you care, but I’m not sleepy. I’m just not sleepy. What can I do? Even if I want to sleep, I’m not very good at it. I have to take medication to sleep. I just can’t fall asleep.” He further shared, “Honestly, I probably won’t get sleepy until around 2. That’s just how I’ve always been. It’s normal for me. I’m not overdoing it. I’m staying up because that’s what I want to do.”
Please, let Jungkook live his life
