In response, Jungkook explained that he could not help it and revealed that he has adult ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

“I kept moving? But, I can’t help it. I kind of... it’s like adult ADHD. I have it. I keep moving like this.” he shared.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) can be identified by a consistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity that makes it hard to function in at least two areas of life, such as at home, school, or work.

Adults with ADHD often have a history of poor grades, work problems, or strained relationships. They may find it challenging to stay organized, perform daily tasks, or complete long projects.

Following Jungkook’s revelation, the disclosure became a major point of discussion among fans. Many expressed support for the Grammy-nominated singer, appreciating his openness about the condition and noting the importance of representation.

Others criticized the comment that prompted his response, saying the singer should not have been pressured into explaining his behavior during the live. Several fans were calling for more understanding and less judgment toward his actions during live broadcasts. One fan commented,
