BTS' Jungkook Criticized For Mentioning Single 'APT' And Bruno Mars But Not BLACKPINK's ROSÉ

Recently, BTS's Jungkook went viral for holding a surprise live stream on the fan communications platform, Weverse. Concurrently, the idol also broke the record for the most-viewed individual on the site by having 20.2 million real-time spectators.

During his broadcast, the global icon became the talk of the town for telling various anecdotes involving his military life and his huge love for G-Dragon.

He also held a mini singing session with ARMY (BTS fandom) and jammed to various songs such as BLACKPINK's ROSÉ's "APT" feat. Bruno Mars.

At the time, the viewers requested the BTS member sing the song but Jungkook initially hesitated.

"APT.? Should I? But I don't think I should. Bruno Mars sunbaenim did such a great job (and) it's so high. I don't think I should," said the idol.

Compared to his vocals, the international singer has a rather higher range, as per ARMYs.

However, when Jungkook's video spread on X, his words were twisted and interpreted with malicious intentions by some netizens. Most of them attacked the idol for not mentioning ROSÉ, although she's the main singer of the hit track.

This also caused backlash against the female star, with some fans creating the narrative that he only acknowledges Mars' contribution because of her skills.

On the flip side, Jungkook not mentioning ROSÉ earned approval from some ARMYs and BLINKs. They wagered that both fandoms would be even more chaotic if Rosé was mentioned in the broadcast.
