1. [+3,136, -347] Jungkook-ah, don't taint BTS' image
2. [+3,113, -402] I guess even BTS is slowly starting to cause scandals and accidents..
3. [+2,511, -237] Booked for violating traffic laws....
4. [+303, -25] What's wrong with him? ㅋㅋㅋ Is he slowly starting to gear up? ㅋㅋㅋ His hyungs are living quietly, why is he the only one like this?
5. [+282, -26] He's really negatively impacting his team lately, why is he being like this...
6. [+241, -25] The important part here is whether he was drunk or not. If he was, BTS is going to take a huge hit and they're going to have to deal with it right.
7. [+215, -38] The fact that he's at the police station means the accident was either pretty big or he was drunk... but even if he was drunk, he could've just paid it off, and most accidents are handled by insurance companies... It's really rare to be called in to the police station over a simple car accident.
8. [+201, -18] Ah, Jungkook-ah, come on, please ㅜㅜㅜ
9. [+187, -12] Just enlist in the army next year with the hyungs
10. [+175, -15] I guess money does change people

Article: BTS reps, "We confirm Jungkook violated traffic laws, he has reached a settlement with the victim" (official statement)

1. [+1,675, -632] Fender benders are so common, what's with all this fuss?
2. [+1,634, -85] He should be more cautious the more famous he is
3. [+1,415, -237] Glad that no one's hurt~ Car accidents can happen to anyone so please be careful everyone.
4. [+104, -21] Wow ㅋㅋ his fans have exceeded my imagination. Since Jungkook has admitted his fault, his fans should learn to stay quiet. Please stop defending him saying "fender benders are common", "speeding is common"... you realize that it just sh*ts on your own image, right?
5. [+49, -11] To all the idiots in the best replies, it wasn't a "common fender bender", it was a violation of a traffic law. If you're going to defend him, then are you going to defend him if someone had died because he was speeding and not following traffic lights? ㅋㅋ I understand that accidents like this can happen to anyone, even BTS, but it's because of the way you fans defend him that it gets them more hate. Just shut up and stay quiet.
6. [+45, -32] Seems like a simple fender bender, let's be more careful
7. [+39, -24] I'm glad he wasn't drunk. The entire world is watching, let's be more careful.
8. [+37, -13] Yes, I admit 100 and 1,000 times over that Jungkook made a mistake, but he admitted that mistake and settled with the victim. Is there a point in a third party like us debating about it? Please don't cross the line with your criticisms of him.
9. [+36, -16] A bird that falls from the peak of its flight falls with no wings
10. [+35, -9] I'm a fan but Jungkook was wrong for this, whether it was a mistake or not. Fans, please stop shielding him.

1. [+1,600, -131] Someone at the scene of the accident posted pictures and an explanation of what happened. There were illegally parked cars on both sides of the street and he was driving to avoid hitting them but ended up in a minor collision with a taxi coming from the other side. Let's please take this opportunity to deal with the problem of illegally parked cars.
2. [+936, -67] Of all cars, it had to be a taxi...
3. [+728, -24] Stay wide awake and be careful at all times
4. [+74, -11] So he wasn't even booked for it and the car accident happened at the end of last month. The journalist that put out 'Booked!' with the wrong date should go reflect. And Jungkook should act more carefully, whether this was a simple accident or not.
5. [+64, -9] So he wasn't even booked but the trash journalists were already titling their articles like "Booked!!"
6. [+49, -9] Just a minor collision, no??? What's with this fuss? It's an accident that can happen to anyone.
7. [+45, -4] It's something so simple that insurance can handle, why is it in the news...
8. [+43, -7] No one got hurt, it was a driving mistake that was settled between the parties with apologies given so why the fuss?
9. [+39, -4] Any driver would know that accidents can happen, even in situations you think couldn't. Anyone who's being too harsh on Jungkook is someone who doesn't drive.
10. [+39, -7] It's sad that this has to be in the news just because he's a public figure... Minor collisions happen to everyone at least once in their lives...

1. [+6,987, -385] I'm a fan and have no intention of shielding him. Just be more careful, Jungkook-ah.
2. [+4,150, -1,256] When I first started driving, I made mistakes myself, without knowing that I was breaking traffic laws... Anyway, there are a lot of people out to get BTS right now so please be careful and even more careful... The standards are much higher for you guys.
3. [+2,991, -148] I figured this was what happened. I hope both get treated well so there are no after-effects and wish everyone a speedy recovery.
4. [+2,581, -295] I'm not a BTS fan, just an ajusshi who doesn't even know any of the member names, but car accidents like this can happen to anyone. He admitted to his mistake and handled it well, there shouldn't be a problem.
5. [+2,154, -208] I'm curious why something that happened last week is only being posted now. Either way, let's drive carefully. BTS, any one mistake you guys make will make it so much harder for you.
6. [+798, -137] Seems like it was a violation of speeding or traffic lights... Honestly, it's a mistake a lot of us make too, no...? Not that I'm saying he did good but it's wrong to think this is something to latch on to him with hate for ㅋㅋ
7. [+616, -63] At least there are a lot of fans saying they're not going to shield him. It's best to be careful for the sake of everyone's safety. People are waiting for the chance to jump at BTS the minute they make a mistake... I just don't like how little mistakes like this are magnified for them.
8. [+959, -429] Glad he wasn't drunk and that no one was hurt. The matter's been settled already and yet the media's like "booked by police" and fanning the fire ㅡㅡ

1. [+1,746, -943] All drivers get into minor collisions once or twice in their lives, why is the media making a big deal out of it;
2. [+850, -85] Glad neither of them were hurt and even more glad that he wasn't drunk
3. [+580, -73] The booked part was a lie by the media
4. [+753, -320] It's only Jungkook that keeps getting in the news for noisy things like this...
5. [+546, -143] It's not like he was drunk. Yes, he made a mistake by causing the accident, but is it something to be hating on him like this for? Are you going to kill another person with your comments? Please knock it off, you guys are just jealous that he's in a position you guys will never achieve ㅋㅋ
