Jungkook sings on VLive: Here are BTS ARMY’s best Twitter reactions

BTS member Jungkook logged on to VLive for a late-night solo stream in July 2021 that quickly became one of the platform’s biggest moments. The hour-long session drew record numbers at the time and left fans trading stories about who stayed up and who woke up just in time to catch the show.

Jungkook performs on VLive

The youngest member titled the stream “Jungkookie” and opened with casual greetings before asking for song requests. He started with Justin Bieber tracks “Peaches,” “Stay,” and “Hold On,” then moved into Bruno Mars’ “Leave the Door Open.” After the covers, fans flooded the comments with hearts and country flags. Jungkook then shifted to BTS material, performing “Idol,” “Dope,” “So What,” “Bapsae,” and his solo track “Euphoria.” He stayed in pajamas for the full set and danced through the choreography while singing. The stream set multiple VLive all-kill records, including the most commented real-time broadcast with over 31 million comments and roughly 10 million concurrent viewers reported at the time.

ARMY hilariously reacts on Twitter

Twitter, later rebranded as X, lit up while the stream was still running. Jungkook trended worldwide at number one even after he signed off. Fans posted about the surprise free concert and the rare chance to watch without buying tickets. One user captured the mood with a simple thank-you note that spread quickly. Others focused on the tender cover of “As Always,” noting how Jungkook addressed the audience directly during the ballad. A few fans joked that the post-stream letdown felt stronger than regular concert blues because the whole thing had been so unexpected. Some ARMYs bragged about catching the broadcast at odd hours, while others admitted they had slept through it. RM, Suga, J-Hope, and V had each gone live earlier that same month, so Jungkook’s stream fit a run of member appearances. Jin and Jimin followed with their own streams in August.

Platform Transition: From VLive to Weverse

VLive shut down as an independent app on January 1, 2023, when the service merged into Weverse. Fans who want to rewatch the original 2021 stream now look for archived clips on the newer platform or fan uploads. Weverse carries the same real-time chat and translation tools that once defined VLive, and BTS artist lives continue there without interruption.

Jungkook's Later Solo Livestream Highlights

Jungkook has kept the same relaxed solo-live format on Weverse. A July 2025 broadcast pulled more than 10.9 million concurrent viewers and stretched into a 40-song set. Additional solo sessions followed in April and May 2026, each time drawing large crowds that chat in multiple languages while he sings and takes requests.

BTS Group Reunion and 2026 Activities

All seven members completed military service by June 2025. The full group held a reunion livestream later that year and announced plans for a 2026 world tour. Those collective appearances built on the individual member streams that kept fans connected during the hiatus.

Fan Engagement Evolution Since 2021

Reactions to the 2021 VLive show stayed mostly on Twitter, where trending hashtags and quick meme threads spread the news. Today the same excitement moves across Weverse comments, X posts, TikTok clips, and Instagram stories. Fans still share timestamps and favorite song moments, but the conversation now stretches across several apps instead of one dominant feed.

The 2021 stream remains a fan favorite because it captured Jungkook at ease in his room, singing whatever came up next. Later Weverse broadcasts show the same easy style, while the group’s return puts those solo moments in a larger timeline of BTS activities. ARMYs who missed the original night can still find clips and reaction threads that keep the memory alive across platforms.
