However, not everyone’s reaction was positive. A person posted a negative comment questioning Jungkook’s love for anime.

His sharp yet calm reply showed that he does not stay silent when people question his genuine interests.
Fans praised the ‘Standing Next To You’ singer for standing up for himself.
