BTS member Jungkook turned 28 on August 31 and marked the milestone with a heartfelt livestream on Weverse, where he connected with fans worldwide.
The youngest member of BTS, often referred to as the “Golden Maknae,” surprised fans with candid confessions, gratitude, and even a bold new look.
Jungkook began the livestream by thanking his parents for their love and support, saying, “First of all, thank you to my mom and dad for giving birth to me. Thanks a lot for giving birth to a healthy me. I’ll try my best to live healthier. I hope you can do whatever you wish in life and live well and healthy.”
While reflecting on his birthday, Jungkook revealed a new lip piercing located just below his signature mole, instantly sending the BTS ARMY into a frenzy online. Fans flooded social media with excitement, praising his bold fashion choice and celebrating his special day.
However, the livestream also turned serious when Jungkook addressed ongoing privacy concerns. He revealed that strangers had repeatedly attempted to enter his home, urging fans to respect his personal space. “Another person tried to enter my house. Someone came to see me at my house. Don’t come, please. Don’t come, really,” he said firmly.
During the session, a fan asked Jungkook to sit still, which prompted him to share openly about his health. He explained that his restlessness is related to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), a condition he has learned to live with. His honesty was met with overwhelming support from fans who admired his courage in speaking publicly about the issue.
Jungkook ended the livestream by once again thanking fans for their endless love and birthday wishes. He promised to celebrate the occasion quietly, saying he would “try to cut a cake too” before ending the day.
As BTS continues its global journey, Jungkook’s openness and authenticity remind fans why he remains one of the most cherished figures in K-pop.
