BIGHIT Entertainment has revealed its stance regarding the dating rumors of BTS member Jungkook.

On the 17th, Jungkook's agency BIGHIT Entertainment released an official press release.

The full statement is as follows.

"BIGHIT Entertainment clarifies that the claims regarding our artist Jungkook, which are currently circulating on social media and online communities, are not true.

During his recent vacation, member Jungkook learned that acquaintances from a tattoo shop he knows were also visiting Geoje Island.

He met up with these acquaintances from the tattoo shop and other friends residing in Geoje Island for a meal and went to karaoke as a group.

This information has been distorted and spread.

We regret that the artist's personal daily activities during his long vacation have been distorted and misrepresented.

After confirming the leakage of CCTV footage and the presence of illegal filming, we plan to take strict legal action against the leakage of personal information and infringement of privacy.

Furthermore, we will make it clear that legal action will be taken without exception against the spread of false information."

On the same day, photos of BTS's Jungkook being spotted in Geoje Island spread through online communities and social media, leading to dating rumors.
