While there have certainly been well-welcomed physical changes in the members…

…some seem to believe there have been other changes as well. Being in a military environment could certainly change aspects of a person like organization or cleanliness, but some fans believe Jungkook has made a change that has left them “heartbroken.”

Prior to his enlistment in December 2023, Jungkook was particularly active on Weverse, often going live at all hours and remaining on for hours at a time.

Since he has been discharged on June 11, Jungkook has remained silent on most social media platforms excluding appearances on others’ accounts.

A fan shared their perspective in a viral TikTok, claiming that “army’s parasocial relationship with Jungkook has ended.” Some agreed in the comments, saying they were heartbroken by the change, even insinuating that he was different.

I’m not trying to seem dramatic. Just wanted to share my thought process lately. I haven’t been posting a lot as yall know because l’ve been going in the world risting i balog of psople times I’ve seen lots of people talking about this and wanted to give my opinion since this topic is one of the best impacts on my life that I miss a lot. 2023 was one of the best years of my whole life. Jungkook brought so much happiness to me that year and leaving that year was one of the saddest times cause I knew it’ll never be the same. Most people would just think “it’s just a live” “stop being delusional” but Jungkook really helped me in my saddest times. Made me feel loved and noticed. He was a comfort place for me and alot of people. He motivated me to do things l’d never thought l’d do. I know he’s busy and he has a long life ahead of him so he doesn’t have to do what WE want him to do. I will just always miss the times him and armys shared. He really is our best friend and I just wanna say thank you @AbjkMRstY for sharing stuff with us and spending your precious time with us. I appreciate all you’ve done! I hope we can share memories like this again if possible in the future but if not I will respect it and send all the love and support I can! It’s a new chapter and time for that chapter to close but it’ll always be close to my heart. Honestly I wouldn’t go live either if crazy stalkers and fake fans attacked me all the time. He does so much for us and some people always have to ruin great things. Atleast we have our full group back and let’s try our best to protect them cause they deserve so much! Sorry for this random post cause this isn’t what l ideally post but just wanted to share my thoughts! Love you guys! Let’s support the boys and stay positive!

This sparked responses from other fans, who reminded that Jungkook was busy along with the other members, and that the lack of lives did not reflect on his feelings towards fans.
