In the latest episode of BTS’ travel reality show Are You Sure?!, Jungkook has unintentionally ignited a lively discussion among fans. The episode, which features Jungkook and Jimin’s travels, includes a moment that has caught the attention of ARMY. In a viral TikTok clip with over 252,000 views, Jungkook is seen lounging in bed with an object that some fans speculate might be a vape.
The clip shows Jungkook bringing the object close to his face intermittently. Due to the low resolution, the object’s exact nature is unclear, leading to divided opinions among fans. While some believe Jungkook might be vaping, others are skeptical due to the video’s quality.

This isn’t the first time Jungkook’s vaping habits have sparked discussion. Earlier this year, during a Weverse Live session, Jungkook inadvertently revealed what appeared to be a vape, prompting significant fan reaction and debate about idol behaviors and agency expectations.
In South Korea, idols are often under intense scrutiny, with agencies typically discouraging behaviors like vaping that could tarnish their polished public image. As such, even a hint of such activities can lead to considerable fan and media scrutiny.
Despite the ongoing debate, many fans have taken the clip in stride, enjoying the casual and candid nature of the show. For them, it’s another endearing moment in the travelogue of their favorite idols.
On the other hand, some fans argue that if the footage were deemed inappropriate or contrary to BTS’s image policies, BIGHIT MUSIC would likely have edited it out. They suggest that any vaping might be an off-camera habit rather than something Jungkook would openly display on a globally broadcasted show.
The debate over Jungkook’s possible vaping continues, but it highlights the personal and informal nature of Are You Sure?!. Regardless of the speculation, the show offers a fascinating look into the lives of BTS members as they embark on their pre-military enlistment travels.
