BTS’s Jungkook Highlighted on Netflix Social Media Following Emotional Reaction to ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’
On July 14, fans got an unexpected surprise when Netflix featured BTS Jungkook on the banner and profile caption of its official X (formerly Twitter) account. This caught everyone off guard soon after Jungkook hosted a livestream on Weverse, sharing time with fans through chatting and singing.
During the livestream, Jungkook treated viewers to a marathon of 40 songs. Among those were several original soundtracks from the popular animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, including tracks like “How It’s Done,” “Takedown,” “Golden,” and “Free.” The vibe was casual and fun as he engaged fans with these performances.
What really stole the spotlight, though, was when Jungkook decided to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters together with his audience. As the story unfolded, he got visibly emotional, especially during the poignant scene where the character Jinu sacrifices himself to save Rumi. Jungkook was seen wiping away tears as he reacted gently, saying:
"Ahg, dummy. Aishi. You should live diligently together if she gives you back your soul. What are you doing?" Jungkook
Netflix clearly noticed this touching moment and briefly updated their X banner to show an image of Jungkook wiping his tears. The profile caption was also changed to read, “Jungkook watched K-Pop Demon Hunters.” Though the photo was later taken down, the caption stayed on.
Fans and Korean netizens found the whole thing both hilarious and endearing. Their reactions included plenty of laughter and affection, with comments like:
"Lol."
"This is so funny."
"Jungkook really is a superstar."
"Can’t believe Netflix updated their banner like that. lol."
"It’s so hilarious they captured him crying and posted it."
"Aww, Jungkook cried watching the film? Me too."
"He’s so cute."
"Now, everyone knows he cried. lol."
"Even Netflix found out he cried. lol."
This blend of heartfelt emotion from Jungkook and a playful response from Netflix sparked a warm buzz online, showing once again how closely fans connect with the artist’s genuine moments and how big platforms like Netflix can join in the fun.
