BTS Jungkook's Listening Party Turns Chaotic as He Breaks His Own Rule — Why Are ARMYs Furious?

BTS Jungkook recently hosted a listening party via Stationhead for his latest single "Seven" (featuring Latto), and it quickly turned into chaos.

BTS Jungkook Language Lesson Meets Unforeseen Consequences

During the event, Jungkook took it upon himself to teach ARMYs (BTS fandom) the Korean equivalents of popular English words and phrases.

However, when he struggled to come up with a Korean word for "dayum" (damn), things took an unexpected turn.

As the BTS maknae searched for the appropriate Korean equivalent, ARMYs flooded the chat with suggestions, with the most popular choice being "시발, 씨발 - Ssibal, Shibal."

The situation quickly spiraled as ARMYs continued to comment "ssibal" or "shibal," catching Jungkook off-guard and causing him to panic.

Surprised and concerned by the sudden surge of cursing in the chat, BTS Jungkook repeatedly asked ARMYs to "stop it" and "calm down," but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

This reaction from Jungkook immediately went viral on social media, with fans amused that even he was nearly driven to exclaim, "What the ****?!" in response to the situation.

Here's How BTS Jungkook Handled the Explosive Comments from ARMYs

However, some fans pointed out the irony in Jungkook's reaction, considering the content of his new song "Seven," which explicitly deals with adult themes.

So, where does the line between what's acceptable and what's not drawn, and why does it seem so thin?

It is essential to understand that BTS Jungkook's apparent "double standard" stems from the context and definitions of the language used.

In "Seven," Jungkook sings about sexual themes, and the English word "f**k" directly refers to intercourse, but is also considered vulgar and offensive when used as a curse directed towards others.

On the other hand, "시발, 씨발 - Ssibal, Shibal" is generally translated as "f**k" or even "s**t."

Unlike "f**k," it lacks any other meanings apart from being a curse. Depending on the context, it can be equivalent to a straightforward "f**k you!"

This explains BTS Jungkook's alarm because, from his perspective, it seemed like his fans were cursing at him directly.

Interestingly, both "시발, 씨발 - Ssibal, Shibal" and the English "f**k" have their origins in sex-related contexts. So, while Jungkook's reaction was understandable, it also reflects the nuances and complexities of language and its usage.

In the end, despite the initial shock, BTS Jungkook appeared to take the situation in good humor and commented that the fandom was funny.

Perhaps, in the midst of it all, he realized that as a group, BTS, and its members, including Suga (Agust D), have explored various themes in their music, including mature topics.

The incident serves as a reminder that language and its expressions can be intricate and multifaceted, and context plays a crucial role in understanding its impact.

While ARMYs might have playfully teased Jungkook during the listening party, it also brought attention to the broader issue of language and how it can be both amusing and challenging to navigate, even for a global superstar like Jungkook.
