BTS member Jungkook discussed his discomfort in overstimulating social settings during a Weverse live stream from his hotel room in Spain on June 28.
The idol described feeling like he is dying at events such as Fashion Week, noting that he gets very sweaty and struggles with small talk or eye contact. He explained avoiding direct eye contact because it feels scary and he could not even think of doing it.
Jungkook has previously admitted to having ADHD, a detail fans had suspected from his behavior. The June 28 stream included reactions to music and chats with fans.
Fans expressed mixed emotions in response, with some feeling sad about his anxiety while others felt seen by his openness about similar experiences.
