BTS member Jungkook recently went live on Weverse, where he playfully reacted to fans calling him ‘uncle,’ expressed mixed feelings about turning 30, and surprised everyone with a cover of Justin Bieber’s song. The live session was filled with funny and heartfelt moments, giving fans a glimpse into his life in Los Angeles.
Jungkook’s Playful Reaction to Being Called ‘Uncle’
During the livestream, Jungkook talked about how he will turn 30 next year in Korean age. He joked about feeling old despite being the youngest member of BTS. Fans started calling him “uncle Jungkook” in the comments, and instead of getting upset like before, he laughed along.
“If it’s next year, since I’m 30, I was always the youngest too. I’m always the youngest. It’s a bit; I’m heartbroken. I don’t want to be Lunar New Year. Of course I’m the youngest in the team, but Uncle Jungkook, that’s right. He’s an uncle now.”
This lighthearted moment showed how comfortable he has become with aging, even though he admitted it “hurts a little” to no longer be seen as the group’s baby.
Jungkook Covers Justin Bieber’s ‘Changes’
The BTS singer also treated fans to a surprise cover of Justin Bieber’s song Changes from his 2020 album. Jungkook praised Bieber’s latest work, calling him “hyung-nim” (a respectful term for an older brother). His smooth vocals impressed fans, who quickly shared clips of the performance on social media.
“Jungkook singing Justin Bieber’s ‘Changes’ is everything! Their voices would sound perfect together in a collab!” – Fan tweet
This isn’t the first time Jungkook has shown his love for Bieber. Back in 2020, he went viral for covering 10,000 Hours by Dan + Shay featuring Bieber. Fans are now hoping for an official collaboration between the two artists.
New Mic Setup and Life in Los Angeles
Jungkook shared that he recently bought a new gaming laptop, microphone, and headphones to pass the time. Instead of gaming, he ended up singing and chatting with fans. He also gave a quick update on his life in Los Angeles, where BTS members are currently staying for a creative session.
He mentioned that fellow member Jimin was probably sleeping since it was around 4:30 AM. Jungkook also joked about wanting to film Jimin, showing his playful side. Meanwhile, other BTS members like RM, SUGA, and J-Hope attended their stylist’s wedding in Seoul, with RM even serving as the event’s MC.
Fans Demand a Jungkook and Justin Bieber Collaboration
After the livestream, social media exploded with requests for a Jungkook and Justin Bieber collaboration. Many fans pointed out how well their voices would blend together. Some even shared old clips of Jungkook praising Bieber’s music, proving his long-time admiration for the pop star.
