Did BTS’ Jungkook Violate California State Laws By Smoking Outside A Restaurant? Netizens Get Into Heated Debate Over Setting Bad Example, One Said “That Area Is Designated As A Smoking Area”

Jeon Jungkook or Jungkook of BTS left the internet shooketh after his smoking pictures spread like wildfire across social media. The pictures that sent the internet ablaze saw Jungkook blowing smoke in a parking lot in California while chatting with his friends. The now viral clips of Jungkook smoking have divided the internet with one section siding with the golden maknae while others calling it morally corrupt on the singer’s part.

For the unversed, Jungkook recently embarked on a solo trip to the United States for his overseas schedule after dropping his all-English single, ‘Seven‘, feat. Latto and costarring Han So Hee in July. The peppy song was quick to climb to iTunes Charts and also bagged the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, making the BTS crooner one of the most successful soloists in K-pop history.

Talking about Jungkook’s recent controversy, the singer has addressed the ongoing debacle on what can simply be called an invasion of his privacy. Amid this, a new setback of challenges has been hurled at the ‘Left and Right’ singer as many netizens are now claiming Jungkook violated state laws by smoking on the sidewalk and that the picture of an ashtray outside of the restaurant was old. “That Area Is Designated As A Smoking Area,” one user claimed. However, some also jumped in Jungkook’s defense dispelling that the ‘Euphoria’ hitmaker broke any rules with his latest stint.
