On June 3, 2025, The Kid LAROI shared behind-the-scenes stories about BTS’ Jungkook during his appearance on BuzzFeed’s Puppy Interview. Surrounded by playful puppies, the Australian artist reflected on past collaborations, including their 2023 joint track Too Much with Central Cee. He revealed how impressed he was by Jungkook’s work ethic during the music video shoot.
LAROI shared an anecdote from the set of the Too Much video, revealing that the BTS star decided to re-record the chorus on the spot. The production team had been working with a demo, but Jungkook reportedly stepped into a rehearsal room and recorded the final version of the hook right there. LAROI described the moment as “pretty cool,” noting how inspiring it was to witness Jungkook’s process firsthand.
He said:

"People might like to know that by the time the video shoot came around, JK actually was re-recording the hook at the video shoot. So we were like working off of a uh demo basically and then he kind of like recut the hook in one of the rehearsal rooms at the studio which was pretty cool And we all got to be there and it was cool seeing him do his thing."
When asked if he would work with Jungkook again, LAROI replied:
"yeah of course I totally would call me."
The two artists first collaborated on Too Much in October 2023, alongside Central Cee. The trilingual, cross-continental track blended their styles with ease. Released as the fourth single from LAROI’s debut studio album The First Time, the song didn’t get the extensive promotional push fans had hoped for, due to Jungkook’s approaching military enlistment. Still, it garnered positive attention worldwide.
Fans who saw the interview clip quickly took to social media to share their reactions. Many praised Jungkook’s perfectionist nature and expressed hope for a future collaboration. One X user, @jeonjtiddiez, wrote:

Others too chimed in and highlighted how his quiet behind-the-scenes professionalism continues to leave a mark.
"When Jung kook gets back from the military, there’s gonna be a long line of artists waiting for a chance to collab with him," an X user wrote.
"As I’ve said before give something to Jung kook and man will take it to a whole new level! This is why artists & producers LOVE working with him and WANT & SEEK to work with him. I would NOT mind another JK and Kid Laroi collab again. Too Much was hella sweet!," another netizen commented.
