It wasn’t surprising that the majority of fans saw problems with the video. In particular, the fact that fans were waiting outside of Jungkook’s hotel was labeled as “sasaeng behavior” was deemed inappropriate, and many couldn’t believe Jungkook was so calm.
What the fuck ??? This is sasaeng behaviour stalking him in front of his hotel and lobby ? Where the fuck is your brain ? Asshole ??? https://t.co/l2tuiGgSne

Jungkook has always been honest about respecting his privacy, and while the idol was happy to greet those waiting, it’s not surprising that ARMYs weren’t happy with the video.
While Jungkook was praised, the “ARMYs” in the video gained mixed reviews.
