BTS' Jungkook Addresses Marriage Questions on 'ARIRANG' European Tour

BTS's Jungkook told fans he has no plans to get married for now.

The singer addressed the topic during a live broadcast on the fan platform Weverse on June 28, hours after the group's concert in Madrid.

Jungkook started the live broadcast by thanking fans who attended the Madrid show. He said the heat before the concert had been a concern. "The day before the show, the temperature was very high," he said. "I'm personally not great with heat, so I was thinking about how to manage my stamina. I kept remembering when I collapsed from heat-related illness during our show in Chile."

He also noted that the energy from the crowd carried him through.h. "I was worried about pacing myself, but the response from fans in Spain gave me even more strength to finish the stage," he said. Asked when he would return to South Korea, Jungkook said he expects to be back after mid-July. "I want to perform on a lot of stages back home, too," he added.

While reading live comments, Jungkook came across a message asking him to marry the fan and answered with a joke. "Please stop with the marriage requests," he said. "I don't have any plans to get married yet, so please pass that along to Suga." Asked whether Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, had any thoughts on marriage, Jungkook said the two had never talked about it.

The comments come months after Jungkook was the subject of dating rumors involving Winter of girl group aespa last December. At the time, online posts claimed he had visited a concert venue during leave from his military service, and fans circulated images of what appeared to be similar tattoos and accessories. Neither artist's agency issued an official response.

BTS kicked off the European leg of its world tour "ARIRANG" on June 26 at Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. The European run will continue through five major cities, including Brussels, London, Munich and Paris, for a total of 10 shows.
