BTS’ Jungkook's fans react to the 3D singer calling ARMYs "perv"

Such a relationship is often prevalent amongst celebrities and their intense fanbases.

Long-time ARMYs have witnessed BTS’ Jungkook's transformation from a shy and introverted K-pop idol to an unafraid and intrepid global pop star. Fans leave no opportunity to jokingly tease him about going shirtless and embracing an audacious public image.

The Euphoria singer sportingly took it in his stride and hilariously called out fans for making such daring demands on Stationhead.

A section of ARMYs even joked that they are lucky that BTS’ Jungkook isn't reading any fanfiction or ARMY tweets on X. A few other fans hilariously lauded the one fan who demanded to see a shirtless video of him on TikTok claiming that they "took one for the team".

Finally, ARMYs matched Bangtan members' impeccable sense of humor jokingly declaring that if BTS chapter two is about the members going shirtless on social media platforms, then ARMYs chapter two is about fans making bold and unhinged comments on public platforms.

BTS’ Jungkook claps back at trolls criticizing him for 3D and SEVEN

BTS’ Jungkook may have a sense of humour about fun banter and conversations with ARMYs but he isn't taking any criticism regarding the mature themes of his two hit singles SEVEN and 3D.

BTS’ Jungkook forms one-seventh of Bangtan and is the maknae (youngest) of the group. The talented K-pop idol debuted at the tender age of 15 and is adored by his six older members and fans alike.

"Guys, I’m not all that innocent. I’m not a holy pure person. Like, I know what I know. I mean, I’m 26 years old, now that my birthday’s passed."

Bangtan's maknae is all set to release his debut solo mini-album in November and based on iHeartRadio KIIS FM DJ JoJo Wright, the maknae's mini-album will be released on November 10, a week before the 2023 BBMAs which falls on November 19.

ARMYs are also speculating that the Still With You singer might embark upon a solo world tour as well, though nothing is confirmed on that front. More information regarding his future activities is awaited.
