BTS JUNGKOOK Shares His Struggles with Low Self-Esteem These Days

JUNGKOOK of K-pop boy group BTS opened up about how his self-esteem has been affected since joining the military.

On December 18, JUNGKOOK went live on WeVerse during his day-off from the military. 

JUNGKOOK spent about 2 hours and 24 minutes with fans, from 11:39 PM to 2:03 AM. 
During the broadcast, JUNGKOOK remarked, "There are so many AI-generated songs these days. I've watched quite a few AI videos of myself too. The response to my AI version of Taeyeon's 'To. X' was really good. I wondered if I could give off a similar vibe if I sang it myself," before singing "To. X."

Although his exceptional vocal skills shone through, he humbly commented, "AI sang it better. AI is dominating the scene right now."

He added, "In the future, people might not even notice if recordings are made using AI. It's a serious issue. I'm so doomed. I'm going to lose my job one day." 
Afterward, JUNGKOOK opened up about his struggles. He shared, "Everyone seems so talented nowadays. To be honest, my self-esteem has been really low recently. I'll make a comeback for you guys, but my self-esteem has been so low that it's making me feel scared." 

He continued, "At one point, I even thought, 'Should I just cook for a living?' Not seriously, of course, but those thoughts crossed my mind while in the military. Still, I know I have to return to my rightful place."

JUNGKOOK also confessed, "While in the military, I've been watching other artists and thinking, 'I want to be performing on stage again soon. I need to do better than them.' I think I've developed a bit of an inferiority complex or something. Being in the military, I can't really do much right now, you know."

He added, "Seeing other artists makes me feel like I need to get back out there soon. My self-esteem has taken a hit, and I've become more withdrawn. That's why I've missed you all even more. Honestly, there aren't many people I can share these thoughts with, so I've just been keeping them to myself."

Through this heartfelt interaction, JUNGKOOK expressed his vulnerability, offering fans a glimpse into his thoughts during his time in the military.
JUNGKOOK started his military service last December and is set to finish it this June.
