BTS‘s Jungkook shocked ARMYs with his recent TikTok activity.
Jungkook isn’t active on social media anymore as he is fulfilling his mandatory military service, so the days of Weverse Lives and TikTok dance challenges are gone. Yet, he occasionally goes online to interact with others’ posts.
Recently, ARMYs noticed that Jungkook had liked a few videos on TikTok, including official posts for J-Hope‘s Hope On The Street. Yet, one unexpected post took ARMYs by surprise.
Among his likes was an AI cover of his song “Standing Next to You.” While most AI covers imagine what it would sound like if artists were to sing another artist’s song, this AI cover was actually a humorous version of Jungkook singing his own song.

ARMYs were amused that Jungkook had liked the video. Some theorized that he might have liked it as it’s a roundabout way to still use “Standing Next to You” in videos on TikTok after the official sound was removed due to UMG’s (Universal Music Group) copyright purge on the app, despite the company’s claim that AI was one of the reasons for its decision in leaving TikTok.
Jungkook has since removed his like from the AI cover, though. Previously, Jungkook shared his honest opinion on AI covers. Read more below.
