BTS' Jungkook reveals that he cried during K-pop Demon Hunters' ending during a Weverse livestream

In July 2025, soon after the release of the animated film, K-pop Demon Hunters, Jungkook rolled out a livestream on Weverse to spend some time with ARMYs. He touched upon many topics and also invited his fellow member, Jimin, to briefly join the livestream with him. At one point, the idol began to play tracks from the film and also began to watch a few scenes from the movie, K-Pop Demon Hunters.

As he got to the ending scene of the movie, the idol became emotional. He continued to share that when he first watched the film, he teared up during the scene where the male lead of the film, Jinu, sacrifices himself for the female lead, Rumi. He also stated that it wasn't sadness that made him cry, but it was the build-up of the movie that made his chest feel tight, eventually leading him to tears.

Here's what he stated:

"I watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS and I cried. I cried. At the end. When they were dealing with the Saja Boys, and when she said that she was going to make a Honmoon by herself and ran into the stadium. And I went, oh, and [tears] dropped."

He also continued to talk about the film, K-Pop Demon Hunters, and expressed that he was also frustrated with the male lead, Jinu, for not fighting with Rumi and taking the situation fully upon himself. Here's what he expressed towards Jinu, frustrated:

"You idiot! You have to live if your soul comes back to you, you have to work hard to live together, what do you do?"

On the other hand, all BTS members are currently preparing for their next group comeback, which is expected to be released in Spring 2026.
