[Comprehensive] Rumors of a romantic relationship, a signal violation, and a series of visits to Itaewon
BTS Jungkook ignored social distance and visited Itaewon entertainment facilities, causing controversy.
The aftermath of idol members' visit to Itaewon is strong.
Criticism has persisted over BTS Jungkook, Astro Cha Eun-woo, NCT Jae-hyun and Seventeen Min-kyu's visit to Itaewon on the 25th of last month to entertainment facilities and bars.
In the case of Jungkook of BTS, he faced greater criticism for failing to provide a proper explanation for his "protection of privacy" despite one previous sighting and suspicion in Itaewon.
Twitter and other online communities reported that Jungkook and Mingyu visited a bar in Itaewon on April 25-26. Their visit is located about seven minutes on foot from the club where the 66th confirmed patient in Yongin visited on the 2nd, and the coroner 19 was confirmed on the 4th of last month.
On the 25th of last month, when they visited Itaewon, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasized social distance, saying, "The biggest danger signal in the Corona 19 response is vague expectations and carelessness that 'I'm going to be okay' and 'this time'."
At the time, BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment said, "It's related to the private life of the artist, so we can't confirm the visit."
A witness to an idol group in Itaewon turned out to be true.
Big Hit Entertainment said on the 18th, "It is true that Jungkook visited Itaewon," and explained, "We decided that it would not be appropriate to disclose the artist's personal daily life to the public because we voluntarily took measures such as getting Corona 19 tests according to government guidelines."
"As an artist's agency, this judgment has no excuse in that it does not clearly recognize the strictness of social distance and put more emphasis on protecting the artist's privacy," he said. "I will strictly abide by it so that this does not happen again."
The intensity of criticism has been added as Jung-kook and the members have recently emphasized the social distance message. A petition by the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae to retrieve the Order of Cultural Merit awarded by the government appeared, with the consent of more than 4,000 people.
Jungkook is also raising concerns over the fact that he is the only member of BTS to rise to gossip.
In September last year, Jung-kook was in trouble after a CCTV footage of him hugging a woman was leaked, and in October that year, he was booked for a traffic signal violation accident.
Due to Jung-kook's video leak incident, a woman who was with him at the time received a series of slanderous DMs (instagram direct messages) from fans. In addition, "Army" was hurt by the incident at the time, including inducing a mistaken identity as rapper Hash Swan.
