[10/10/16] Rising solo-artist JUNGKOOK comebacks with “Begin”, speaks up against controversies and past life
The twenty-two year old singer-idol JUNGKOOK has surprised his fans with the single “Begin”, which has a different sound from any of his songs on his debut album. On a one-on-one interview, the singer expressed that the song was dedicated to his friends who became like older-brothers to him, who helped to form who he is today. It is also dedicated to his older brother, the sole immediate family member left, JUNGKOOK opened up. He always wanted to thank these people in a way that will immortalize his gratitude, and he was happy that “Begin” was the product of it. “It is my most personal work,” he added with a big smile.
Though the new single has received intense love just hours after releasing, there are some controversies surfaced around the young artist that were not addressed by neither the company or JUNGKOOK himself, one of those is his involvement of the mystery of his parents’ murder case. It was revealed by a famous blog-application “Deadlock” that it was the artist himself was the killer of his father’s death. JUNGKOOK expressed his dismay regarding the issue, and spoke up for the first time a week after the rumor surfaced.
“I believe it is just awful to tell that I’m the one who took my father’s life,” he said. “The case remains to be unsolved to this day, and while my brother and I are still grieving years after, I think that the rumor is too disrespectful and the author of that post just wants to drag my name down,” he added a light chuckle to his statement. “It’s unforgivable, to be honest, because it attacked a very personal time in my life. I hope people will stop spreading lies like that, and let’s just respect each other.”
“I hope everyone will give ‘Begin’ lots of love! Please anticipate more from me.”
