The BTS members rarely share too much information regarding their personal lives. This includes religion, although one could find references throughout songs, such as “Blood Sweat & Tears.” So, some ARMYs have speculated that Jungkook might be Christian based on a few details.
Jungkook attended the faith-based school, the School of Performing Arts in Seoul (SOPA), for high school. The school’s official website says it is “South Korea’s first and only Christian-based high school with special purposes in performing arts.” It includes mandatory services every Wednesday afternoon as well as a Bible-teaching class once a week.
ARMYs have also noticed Jungkook praying before meals. This isn’t exclusive to Christianity, but most Christians do it.
Additionally, Jungkook covered the Christmas song “O Holy Night.” Lyrics include, “It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth,” and “O night divine, O night when Christ was born.”
Yet, during a Chuseok Greeting, Jungkook appeared to pray like a Buddhist rather than a Christian. He’s also been seen at the Buddhist temple Ganghwa Bomunsa (보문사 – 강화).
Jungkook has been spotted wearing what appears to be a Mala beaded bracelet during photoshoots, music videos, and live broadcasts for many years. Mala (in Sanskrit, it means “garland”) beads are rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism and are used for meditation.
There’s even been a few that speculated Jungkook could be Muslim. There’s not much evidence to prove, though.
Now, Jungkook has opened up about religion for the first time.
Today, Jungkook held a live broadcast via Weverse after he attempted TikTok Live. During his Weverse Live, he explained that he is not religious since he was never pressured to be. He shared that his father’s family was Christian, but his mother’s was Buddhist.
I don’t have any religion. My father’s family are Christians and my mother’s Buddhists. But starting from my generation, there wasn’t anything taken for granted about religion. There wasn’t any pressure on me to have any religion.
So, it makes sense that Jungkook appears to follow some practices from both religions! So, he is just non-denominational or non-religious.

The clip she watch went viral after its release for unexpected nudity.

BLACKSWAN Fatou‘s reaction to an explicit viral video recently launched a discussion about boundaries with K-Pop idols.

In early July, a content creator named Kevin Leonardo shared a video on his YouTube account about using the hair removal product Nair. Leonardo’s content is centered around his experience as a gay man, and he often shares instructional content that can be a little shocking for a random viewer.

While there are many tutorial videos on how to use Nair, Leonardo’s video was focused on using it on a more private part of the body — his anus.
While this could have also not been too outside of the ordinary, the content creator went into full detail, flashing his anus at the camera more than once in what many called a jump scare. (NOTE: Leonardo’s uncensored private parts appear in less than two seconds when watching the video. )
During a recent live stream, fans told Fatou to watch the video, and she reacted very strongly. After a screen recording was shared on TikTok, it went viral, with many fans finding her reaction funny.
Others were upset that Fatou was told to watch something like that without warning, which could be considered sexual harassment. While it could be regarded as more acceptable to show content like that to someone you actually know, fans recommending something like that to idols would not be the same thing.
Some referenced a statement from solo idol AleXa where she said that fans treat English-speaking idols differently, something true in several ways.
For example, while KARD‘s BM is open about all topics, many questions asked to him by fans in past live streams would be considered inappropriate topics to discuss with a stranger, let alone a K-Pop idol you do not personally know.
Fans shared their thoughts on the situation, with many expressing disgust at someone doing this to Fatou.
