While heading to his house, Jungkook was on live on Weverse and spotted some Saesangs still following him outside. He noticed them and stated that they should not come here, cursed the obsessed fans with the word "b@stard" as they continued to encroach upon the privacy and personal space of the idol.
The golden maknae stated, as translated by the user @btstanniies:
"Even nowadays there are sasaengs in front of my house, that's enough coming, you b@stards. Don't cross the line, you creep."
The idol was furious and said they should not cross the line and stay within their limit.
Soon, the clip from Weverse live went viral on social media, where fans were over the moon that the idol stood up for himself. They were happy the golden maknae swore at them and showed them their place. Fans were also pleased that the obsessive fans would feel guilty for invading his privacy and expressed that the golden maknae should continue to call out the Saesangs on different occasions.
