Jungkook Clarifies The Reason Behind His Swollen Face To Reassure ARMYs

When it comes to idols, the face is probably the most important thing, right? Of course it is. Even the tiniest change can immediately draw attention. Remember the huge online controversy about Jungkook’s nose when he attended Cha Eun Woo’s VIP pre-screening of The First Ride?

His nose had only a minor change due to weight loss, and he no longer needed to use a nasal dilator, yet people came up with all kinds of αѕѕumptions about him. So imagine if his face looks a bit swollen! Who knows what kind of comments might flood social media tomorrow, accusing him of Botox or claiming he had a botched cosmetic procedure.

Just joking—but Jungkook clearly doesn’t care about baseless gossip, so there’s no need for him to explain it. What really mattered was clarifying why he appeared on Weverse Live at 4 a.m. (KST) with a slightly puffy face that could worry ARMYs. And the result? He gave the most detailed, cutest explanation in two minutes.

Specifically, at the start of the broadcast, Jungkook immediately said: “I basically pulled an all-nighter (the night before), so I was really tired. (Here, he suddenly cut himself off and started talking about his current state: ‘Ah, I literally just woke up, I just woke up!’). Anyway, I ordered and ate ‘gwamegi’ (half-dried pacific herring) with my friend. Wow, ‘gwamegi’ is so delicious these days. We had the ‘gwamegi’ and some soju, around 5 or 6PM, I think?”

As he continued, he even acted things out so fans could follow along: “After eating, I sat down in front of the computer, and I got super sleepy. I was full and a bit tipsy, so I just leaned back (showing how he slouched in his chair) and ended up falling asleep, and when I woke up, I was totally out of it, just groggy from sleep. I told my friend ‘I’m going to sleep early today,’ brushed my teeth, and went straight upstairs to sleep. And now I woke up at this hour (4AM) and came back downstairs. That's the whole story. You get it? So if you look, my face is a bit swollen. Doesn't it look a little puffier than usual? Because I ate a ton and then slept.”

At this point, fans laughed and marveled at the cuteness of the Golden Maknae. The swelling, which some fans had initially worried about, was simply the result of staying up all night, eating a hearty gwamegi meal with a bit of soju, and then taking a deep sleep. Fans expressed that they had experienced similar situations themselves and completely understood.

Some ARMYs also recalled that Jungkook had just returned from fяαи¢є on the 19th, so he might not yet have adjusted to the time difference. But instead of resting or spending his free time on personal activities, he thought of the fans and used this rare free moment to hang out with them. That’s genuinely heartwarming!

Even though his explanation lasted only two minutes, fans ended up stuck on the video for hours, unable to resist his charm, marveling:

- Why did he explain all that in such detail? He's so adorable

- Jungkook being adorable giving the most detailed explanation ever on ‘why I turned on the live’
