Since the video went viral, many netizens said they were heartbroken after hearing Jungkook’s words, feeling that he seemed sad and was opening up about his true emotions to fans. Another user commented that he appeared to be troubled by something.

Sharing the clip, one user wrote,''jungkook getting death threats he opened up about it to us but those koreans and k-media focused on his drinking, smoking and cussing habits which is a normal thing everyone does instead of trying to protect him. my heart breaks for him.''

Saying that the video of Jungkook is making him sick, another X user wrote,''kmedia choosing to cover the idol smoking and drinking on live but not the fact that he said there are people who want to k*** him meaning he is getting death threats explains pretty much enough about the fucked up kpop industry and its community. this is making me sick.''

Third user wrote,''Jungkook didn’t “rant drunk.” He spoke about death threats, about his feeling, about the weight of insecurity. That’s not intoxication, it’s vulnerability. Some erased his pain, reducing it to spectacle. But what he shared was raw, human, & brave. PROTECT THE ARTISTS.''
