BTS's Jungkook Addresses Concert Sound Issues; RM Faces Smoking Allegations

BTS member Jungkook expressed his regret over a sound issue that occurred during a recent concert.

On the 27th, Jungkook took to his Instagram story to apologize, stating, "Yes, there was a sound issue during 'Magic Shop' yesterday. Don't worry. We'll get it right from today."

He added, "Sorry to the ARMYs who came to the concert yesterday," accompanied by a crying emoji. Jungkook also candidly expressed his dissatisfaction with the incident by posting, "I'm angry tooㅎ."

Previously, in February, Jungkook faced criticism during a live broadcast on a fan communication platform. He was accused of being reckless after mentioning past smoking habits while intoxicated and making an inappropriate gesture by raising his middle finger to someone nearby.

Meanwhile, RM was recently embroiled in controversy over alleged smoking in a non-smoking area. According to the Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun, RM, who was in Japan for a concert at Tokyo Dome, was seen socializing with friends in the Shibuya area. He reportedly smoked multiple times in non-smoking zones and discarded cigarette butts on the ground.

BTS, which both Jungkook and RM are part of, is set to meet their international fans on the 28th at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, USA.
