Jungkook opens up about sleep struggles

The singer clarified that his late-night schedule was not a sign of overworking himself but rather a routine he has lived with for years. According to Jungkook, falling asleep has never come easily, and he often requires medication to help him rest.

"I appreciate that you're worried about me, and I know you're saying it because you care, but I'm not sleepy. I have to take medication to sleep. I just can't fall asleep," he said.

Jungkook added that he usually does not feel sleepy until around 2 am and stressed that staying awake late was a personal choice rather than a cause for concern.

Jungkook also apologized for any problems caused during his previous live broadcast in which he seemed drunk and uttered curse words. However, he admitted that although he understands why people feel upset, he himself does not think his actions were improper.
