It was about an ARMY that didn't know how to speak Korean.

Jungkook of BTS has become famous for his "savage" answer to an ARMY's comment that it was "painful" to watch his live broadcast.

Jungkook has been giving ARMYs live feeds for the past few months, whether he's just chatting in bed, working out, or even with his best friend Mingyu from SEVENTEEN.

Jungkook usually speaks in Korean when he's live, but he always tries to say a few things in English so that foreign fans can understand him, especially when there aren't live subtitles.

On August 3, Jungkook went live again and gave fans some great times to remember.

During the live show, ARMYs couldn't hold back their anger when Jungkook read a comment from a viewer who didn't speak Korean and said that watching the live was "painful" because they couldn't understand.

"It hurts to watch the live because I don't speak Korean. I don't understand what you mean."— An ARMY said

Instead of ignoring it, fans couldn't hide how proud they were of Jungkook's harsh answer.

Jungkook started by saying that he, too, has trouble with languages. He then suggested that the fan learn Korean with him so that they could both focus on learning and stop making comments like this.

"I feel the same way here. Let's start to learn together. Now, start learning Korean. Let's put in a lot of work to learn Korean." — Jungkook

The idol didn't apologize, but he did say that he has trouble with language and that netizens should understand how annoying it is for him as well.

He then stressed that the ARMY should start learning Korean, and he ended by saying "fighting."

"I find it hard too. How annoying must it be for me, too, huh? We should start to learn Korean. "— Jungkook

Netizens couldn't get enough of Jungkook's answer when the translations were tweeted out during the live show.

In the past, ARMYs have told people watching Weverse broadcasts not to talk about how they don't understand the stars because of language barriers.

After seeing Jungkook's answer, fans praised the star and said that ARMYs should learn some Korean to meet Jungkook halfway.

Many stars are learning English because they want to talk to fans from all over the world, but ARMYs were mad that someone left such an insulting comment.

Jungkook always tries to talk to everyone, and ARMYs loved how the idol's answer took away any sense of ownership the fan might have had.

Director Kim Hyung Joo of The Match has finally shared his thoughts on Yoo Ah In’s involvement in a drug scandal, calling it a major disappointment, especially considering the actor’s role as the lead in the film.

On March 19th, the director attended a press screening and briefing for The Match at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Alongside Kim, actors Lee Byung Hun, Ko Chang Seok, Hyun Bong Sik, Moon Jung Hee, and Jo Woo Jin were present to discuss the film.

The Match revolves around the legendary Go player Cho Hun Hyun (played by Lee Byung Hun), who, after a loss to his disciple, decides to challenge the top players again, driven by his competitive spirit. The movie is directed by Kim Hyung Joo.

Lee Byung Hun plays the iconic Go champion Cho Hun Hyun, while Yoo Ah In portrays his disciple, Lee Chang Ho.

During the event, Kim recalled the casting process, saying, "When we were casting, Lee Byung Hun was cast first. Just having him felt like we had the world, and then, getting Yoo Ah In as a bonus made me even happier."

Although filming wrapped up in 2021, Yoo Ah In's drug scandal led to the indefinite postponement of the film’s release. Now, nearly four years later, The Match is finally set to hit theaters on March 26th.

Reflecting on Yoo Ah In's scandal, Director Kim openly shared his frustration, calling it "irresponsible and disappointing" for the actor to make such a mistake as the lead.

He added, “Before being an actor, he made a mistake as a member of society and was punished, so I don’t think there’s much more to say.” Kim smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Describing the challenges he faced due to the scandal, Kim compared the experience to being trapped in "a hellish tunnel."

He said, "There was nothing I could do inside, so it was overwhelming. But now that we have the light of release, it feels like I can breathe. I’m deeply moved."

The director also shared that because Yoo Ah In was the lead actor, the film had to be released as it was, without editing. This has led some people to feel uneasy about watching the film, given the actor’s scandal.

When asked about this, Director Kim said, "Choosing and judging is up to the audience, so I can't force anything. But I hope they watch the movie as it is. I unintentionally got hurt before the release, so I hope people watch the movie warmly, as if applying ointment to a wound."

The Match will officially be released on March 26th.
