BTS's Jungkook once again stirred fans' emotions by revealing his personal experience with anxiety in his latest live stream. On June 28, 2026, Jungkook broadcast live from his hotel in Spain, where he chatted with fans and discussed various topics, including his experience at Fashion Week.
In the live session, Jungkook shared how he feels extremely uncomfortable at large events like Fashion Week. He admitted, "When I go to events like that, I feel like I'm going to die." This statement reflects his discomfort in crowded and stressful places.
Jungkook also explained that he sweats very easily and struggles to engage in small talk or make eye contact. "I can't focus on other people's eyes. It's really scary for me," he added. Jungkook's honest statement drew mixed reactions from fans, who felt both saddened and connected to his experience.
Some fans were moved by Jungkook's confession, and some expressed that they felt "seen" because they were going through the same thing. "Oh Jungkook :( it's a bittersweet mix of feeling seen and feeling sorry for him for having such severe social anxiety," wrote one fan on social media.
Jungkook's revelation as neurodivergent adds depth to the discussion about mental health among K-Pop idols. Many fans applauded his courage in speaking out about his personal experiences, given the stigma often attached to mental health issues.
Fan reactions expressing empathy for Jungkook have also been widespread on social media. One popular tweet highlighted how difficult it must have been for Jungkook to perform in front of so many people, with the phrase, "Jungkook talking about his anxiety in a crowded place, oh my heart hurts."
This shows how many fans feel the same pain. Jungkook is known for his close relationship with his fans and often uses live streaming platforms to share his thoughts. However, this statement felt more emotional and profound, providing a clearer picture of the challenges K-Pop idols face behind the scenes.
With Jungkook's honesty and vulnerability, many fans hope he will continue to maintain his mental health. This kind of mutual support and sharing of experiences creates a strong sense of community among BTS fans.
Hopefully, in the future, more idols will have open conversations about mental health, thereby reducing the stigma. Jungkook and the other BTS members continue to inspire many with their courage to speak out about issues often considered taboo.
