BTS Jungkook Faces Backlash Over Treatment in New Documentary

BTS Jungkook is facing backlash over his limited screen time in the new Netflix documentary, BTS: THE RETURN.

The documentary, released after BTS’s ARIRANG comeback and concert, follows the group’s return. However, fans quickly reacted, pointing out that Jungkook appears for less than five minutes in the 1.5-hour film.

The controversy began when netizens noticed the idol’s minimal presence. Some fans accused the company of downplaying Jungkook, especially during this comeback cycle.

“I hear that JK was shown for less than 5 minutes in the 1.5 hr documentary. What a joke!! Not surprised though, seeing the way the company’s been moving against him for this cb. Plus, they’ve always had a pattern of downplaying him in group documentaries. ” — Polaris

“A documentary around 1 hour and half and JungKook clips together are not more than 5 minutes make it make sense” — Hwaa

“Jungkook literally got the least screen time. He’s barely speaking and when he does, the LOUD members cutting him off every time Just get him out of that hell wtf” — Mendal༊·.

“Shall I Know why Jungkook has the least time screen on the documentary too? Less than 5 minutes out of 94 minutes? Lol are we deadass? Removing him from everything? Are they preparing themselves for him leaving this group? When is the official announcement? please drop it lol.” — Gubø구보⋆

Fans are especially upset because this treatment follows ongoing issues during the comeback, including allegations linked to Jungkook’s performance at the concert.
