Netizens are debating whether BTS' Jungkook broke California's smoking laws.

On September 7th, photos and videos of Jungkook in Los Angeles were shared online.

These images showed Jungkook taking a smoke break outside a Los Angeles restaurant. Some think he may have flown to LA for the MTV Video Music Awards.

Once the videos and pictures came out, people started arguing about whether Jungkook broke California's smoking rules.

Some say he smoked on the sidewalk, which is against the law. They also said the ashtray in the picture was old and not there anymore.

But others defended him, saying he didn't smoke in a no-smoking zone. They even shared pictures from May and August of this year showing the restaurant's ashtray.

Here are some comments from netizens:

"Being an adult man who smokes isn't a crime. Stop making a big deal out of small things and let JK's fans support him."

"If you watch the full video, you'll see he didn't throw his cigarette on the street. Plus, that area is allowed for smoking by the restaurant."

"Why are you arguing about this like JK set the USA on fire?"

"You used to complain about smokers bothering non-smokers on the streets, and now suddenly it's okay because it's your idol."

"He was smoking in a designated smoking area, not randomly on the street. LOL."

"This much fuss over someone smoking only happens in Korea."

"But he did drop some ashes on the street, LOL."

What are your thoughts?

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
