On May 4, 2023, BTS Jungkook took to Weverse, the online real-time communication platform used by K-pop artists and their fans, to address an issue that raised concerns among ARMYs. In his considerably long Weverse message, the idol expressed his stance with fans who've been sending and ordering food to his house. While the idol is appreciative of the fans' concern for him, it also becomes a problem of invasion of his privacy in his own home.

He also further mentioned that the continuation of the same will lead to him taking serious action against the people who order food to his house. After the idol's message on Weverse, many agreed with his stance and slammed the sasaeng fans who've been breaching the Euphoria singer's personal space.

While Jungkook has been majorly friendly and kind to fans regardless of the density of the situation, his recent Weverse message showcased that the idol has reached his limit. Here's what his message states,

"Don't send home delivery food. I won't eat it even if you give it to me. I'm thankful, but I eat well. You can buy it for yourself, I beg you. If you send it one more time, I will check the receipt order number you send and take action. So stop it."

With the recent message sparking discussions among netizens, they've also noticed that Jungkook has often brought to followers' attention his uneasy stance apropos sasaengs' behavior. Given that the idol is one of the most active BTS members on social media, with his frequent Weverse live streams, there have been a number of occasions where he has emphasized how unsafe and afraid he feels during these times.

From endless phone calls during his live streams, people crowding at his gym, to fans sending food to his house, the idol has shared many incidents that were not only a breach of his personal space but also threatens his security and safety in his own space. Many fans realized that some people being aware of his address could be quite a scary thing for him, especially given his popularity.

Following the idol's message, fans became enraged at those who invaded his personal space. Since concerns and requests from Jungkook have increased in frequency in recent days, fans have naturally been worried about him. Many of the instances from his Weverse live streams had him requesting that people understand that he's human too and has certain boundaries that he'd like people to respect.

To draw attention to the gravity of the situation, fans have started trending hashtags to protect and respect Jungkook. Furthermore, fans have reported the incident to the idol's agency, Big Hit Entertainment, in an effort to tighten security and take strict action against those who endanger his safety on his personal premises.


Naturally, fans have also been upset that the idol's trust in ARMYs which made him confidently share glimpses of his house and other personal spaces has slowly been deteriorating with the increase in sasaeng intrusion.
