These instances happened after the idol was well past legal age, but due to the \u201ctaboo\u201d surrounding idols\u2019 smoking, he was met with some pushback.<\/p>\n
Jungkook has continually pushed against the idea of how an idol should look and behave and recently continued doing so during a live stream.<\/p>\n
On February 26, KST, the idol went live on Weverse, chatting with fans while doing karaoke with his older brother and a friend.<\/p>\n

The idol admitted that he used to smoke a lot, but that he worked very hard to quit. He also said that he would likely get a little bit of scolding from his company for talking about the subject.<\/p>\n
Many fans expressed pride in the idol for managing to quit, knowing how difficult it is. Moreso, many were proud of the idol for speaking his mind despite instructions to no do so.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t smoke now, but still.. why can\u2019t I talk about this? I\u2019m almost 30 now. I did smoke before, like a lot, but I worked hard to quit, and did so.<\/p>\n
