BTS’ Jungkook’s “I AM STILL” Documentary puts HYBE under fire

BTS’ Jungkook has been the talk of the town for all the wrong and right reasons. The idol was highly praised for releasing his new documentary, “JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL” in theaters. However, the hype was stifled by the current controversy of the idol’s latest post allegedly supporting NewJeans.

On September 18, the Golden Maknae brought a heartfelt journey with no return for his fans, better known as ARMY. The idol opened to show how he prepared for the release of his debut album, “GOLDEN” back in November 2023 which received great reviews from the critics. However, ARMY noticed something unusual.

Previous to “GOLDEN,” Jungkook released “Never Let Go” as a tribute to fans. The song was released as part of BTS’ 11th anniversary event, “2024 BTS FESTA” However, during the credits of the documentary, the song was credited to BTS, rather than Jungkook.

ARMY immediately showed their discontent and called out on social media, pointing out that HYBE might be hindering the success of the documentary for not crediting rightfully Jungkook in ”Never Let Go.”  The criticism garnered attention just days after HYBE was accused of targeting Jungkook for supporting NewJeans amid the controversy.
