BTS members V and Jung Kook address privacy invasions at gym

BTS members V and Jung Kook have publicly addressed privacy concerns following incidents involving individuals following and filming them at a gym. During a live broadcast on the Weverse platform, the artists expressed frustration over being approached by fans and onlookers during their personal workout sessions.

Jung Kook noted that even when attempting to exercise at 2:00 AM to avoid crowds, they encountered approximately 20 people in the hotel gym. He emphasized that these interactions infringe upon their private lives. V added that while he does not mind people exercising in the same space, he finds it intrusive when individuals merely watch or record them without authorization, stating that the gym should be a place to relax and maintain health.

The artists reiterated their love for their fans but stressed the necessity of maintaining boundaries between their professional work and personal time. This follows previous requests from their agency, BigHit Music, for fans to respect the artists' privacy in non-professional settings.
