Although his tone was playful and harmless, Jungkook immediately paused to reflect on the gesture. He apologised in real time, saying he wasn’t completely sure of the gesture’s full cultural meaning and wanted to ensure he didn’t offend anyone unintentionally. He clarified that if it carried any negative interpretation or was disrespectful in certain contexts, he was truly sorry for using it.
