BTS' Jungkook started a late-night webcast on October 28 to communicate with his followers. What began as a snack-opening, backstory-narrating gig quickly evolved into a full-fledged game webcast with fans and fellow member Jin. However, the beginning was not as tranquil as one might imagine, as the singer struggled to make sense of it and had ARMY watch because they'd just be looking at his face playing rather than the real game screen. As a result, he began jokingly threatening the communication platform with a new feature that would allow him to play elsewhere.

Jungkook discussed his trip to New York, where he did an ad campaign and then wanted to play video games with his followers. He proposed Party Animals and PUBG, but was eventually persuaded to play Overwatch instead. Jin left remarks and called the younger one, deciding to accompany him. 


Jungkook talks about his recent diagnosis



The star was unable to cast his screen on Weverse, prompting him to threaten the site and switch to a former competitor, Twitch. He whined in a cute way to get the function available as soon as possible. Unbeknownst to him, the platform had discontinued operations in South Korea due to excessive costs in 2024. Jungkook and Jin began playing with the BTS ARMY, ensuring that the session was full with laughing and pleasure. 

Later, he discussed a recent visit to the doctor, revealing his medical diagnosis. "I recently had my eyes evaluated, and it turned out that I have hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. I had no awareness I had them, and I was simply tolerating as if my vision was meant to be this way. I just received a new glasses prescription." He then addressed his opponents on TV, promising to play again once he reclaimed the glasses and that there would be no mercy the next time.

Jungkook receives a digital ganga snan, video goes viral

Recently, a viral video from Prayagraj shows a man named Deepak Goel standing in the holy river Ganga while holding a photo of BTS member Jungkook and performing a virtual snan (ritual bath) for the singer’s good health and prosperity. Deepak expresses his admiration for Jungkook but hilariously mispronounces his name, which quickly caught the internet’s attention. The video, shared from his social media page, left many amused, with viewers praising his devotion while laughing at the innocent slip-up. The lighthearted act has since become a trending moment among BTS fans and Indian social media users alike.
