BTS' Jungkook's latest sightings with Jimin called 'fan service', ARMY defends him against hate comments
Jungkook has been hanging out with his BTS buddies, especially Jimin, since getting out of the military on June 11. The duo has been on an international vacay, with recent sightings in the US, Switzerland and Vietnam. They might have been chilling together after 18 months of military training. However, some solo stans of Jungkook weren't having it and demanded he focus on his individual projects instead of trying to do things to please shippers.
Jimin and Jungkook's latest whereabouts
Jungkook has been allegedly spending time with Jimin since their military service completion. From joint overseas travelling to Jungkook filming reels videos for Jimin and drawing his caricature, the BTS duo have been doing fun activities together. Their international trip was also linked to the filming of Season 2 of their popular variety show, Are You Sure?!
Although they seem to have been using it as an unwinding session, some individuals had harsh reactions to that.
Why is Jimin and Jungkook's latest activities being called fan service?
Fans seem to love the recent Jimin X Jungkook crumbs, with some lovingly called 'Jikook' and even jokingly shipping them. The duo's continued joint activities seemed to be an attempt to fuel those fan-made narratives by some solo stans. Claiming themselves as Jungkook's long-term fans, they started being worried that he was doing all of that as part of "fan service".
As per them, he was too old to resort to childlike stuffs like a duo variety show. They wrote long comments about how he should focus on his solo activities rather than being out and about with Jimin, as he "shines enough alone." Since Jungkook doesn't own a personal social media account, they took to the comment section of his dog, Bam's account to express their views.
However, BTS ARMY defended the artists by strongly criticising the antis. They also pointed out how the accounts making the malicious remarks were fake, and were created with the sole purpose of spreading hate. As per the, the BTS members knew what would be benificial for their career more than anyone else. They reported the comments and asked them everyone to write "meaningful" messages for the artists from them on.
