The group talked about different topics while amusing fan simply by existing on screen together. Fans especially enjoyed the group messing around with each other, especially as hints towards their 2026 comeback and activities continue.

They are at Namjoon’s place, watching Joon’s YouTube channel, and his algorithm shows a lot of #CORTIS 😂

However, one of these moments of the group playing around with each other left some with negative feelings.
About halfway through the live, some of the members get up off of the couch they were sitting on, with Jin coming behind Jungkook and lifting him up and over the back. Jungkook lands at an awkward angle on his head/neck before righting himself.
While many fans were amused by Jin’s antics, some were more concerned that Jungkook could have been injured due to how he landed on his neck and criticized Jin.
It’s funny …. it was meant as a joke …. and yes, our usual chaos is back…. bla, bla, bla….
Whenever it involves Jungkook, everything somehow turns into “fun” for ARMY.
Of course, Jin never intended to hurt Jungkook, but the action itself was reckless and done without… pic.twitter.com/s7TW5q5xWB

The way 90% of armys are laughing at this like nothing.. Ik Jin might not have meant any harm, but flipping someone like that head down first is genuinely reckless. It could’ve led to serious injury… https://t.co/tcbzlKrtdP

While most fans understand that Jin meant no harm, it seems that most want the group to play safely with each other to lower the risk of serious injuries.
