At one point during the live, Jungkook began speaking about Fashion Week experiences, mentioning that both V and J-Hope enjoy attending them. The idol admits that he feels like he’s dying when he goes to those types of events, explaining that he’s not the type to enjoy those situations.

Jungkook says that he gets very sweaty, and is not able to do small talk or make eye contact.

He explains how he gets through it, sharing that he doesn’t focus on a person’s eyes, saying that he “couldn’t even think of it” and that it was “scary.”

Many fans had some mixed feelings about the idol’s admission, find it sad that he experienced that sort of anxious reaction, but glad that he felt comfortable enough to share. Many also shared that they felt “seen” as they also experience similar feelings.
