BTS Jungkook’s decisions about his life was supported by the ARMYs on social media, who also hailed him for being honest enough to discuss about his smoking habits even though he was aware that his company would disagree. A user wrote, “You have no idea how happy I’m of Jungkook! He boldly talked about everything he wanted! He’s a human after all! Above all, I’m super proud of him for quitting smoking! I heard that the process is hard & exhausting that people keep going back to it. Jungkook you’re doing amazing.”
Another user said, “Is there nothing we can do? This company treats both BTS and other idols very badly. It breaks my heart to see them like this.” A third user wrote, “On the one hand, I’m happy because it wasn’t good for his health and voice, but ont he other hand, he’s an adult and it’s absolutely non of our business what he does or doesn’t do with his body. People should stop treating him like a little kid, he’s not one anymore.”
A fourth user said, “So proud of him. It’s a tough habit to quit and it doesn’t do his voice any favors. Glad he was able to conquer it.”
