Despite being old enough to date whoever he wants, fans believe that the idol is hesitant and secretive about his dating life because of the exaggerations and spreading of dating rumors after the minimal interactions he has with anyone of the opposite gender.Tirednursewithanattitude@AhlstrandLill@kookuuii Even if it is his girlfriend that’s not your information to give.

Sometimes I really want him to date so y’all can’t just stop 😭The dangers of spreading rumors do not end there. Every meeting and interaction Jungkook has outside of the K-pop industry that becomes a public discussion in the news creates an awkward situation for not only the idol but also his friends. While it is understandable that K-pop idols must sacrifice their privacy as a result of being celebrities, it does not seem fair for his friends and colleagues to suffer the same fate.AdriannaCox@AdriannaNCox20Who ever is spreading that picture of Jungkook and some girl that was with him in Jeju please stop saying they are dating it looks like Jungkook can't go out with some friends without rumors spreading about him #Jungkook222Who ever is spreading that picture of Jungkook and some girl that was with him in Jeju please stop saying they are dating it looks like Jungkook can't go out with some friends without rumors spreading about him #JungkookEAJ@ventaments@ashleymateomus @allkpop Yea.

Hence, ARMYs believe that leaving Jungkook's personal life out of public conversations is the most appropriate thing to do for both the idol and his social circles.After putting an end to the dating rumors that arose from BTS Jungkook's viral photos on Jeju Island, fans are hoping that the idol will not be dragged into another unnecessary scandal that puts him in a difficult position.
