"Before her concert, I told Ariana, 'There’s a lot of things I want to learn from watching your concert,'"a Japanese magazine, translated by a fan on Twitter."We also gather before our performances [to] start and pull ourselves together, and she was doing the same thing. She called on to me to say, 'Let’s do it together,' and she let me into her circle.”Previously Junkook tweeted that he was “really challenged by [Grande’s] stage [presence] and will try harder.
I felt and learned a lot after seeing her stage. I am really challenged by her stage and will try harder!
I was impressed by refinery29 'shady' video content on youtube until I saw this article. Disappointed that the first title got approved ☹ i'm not a full-on army but i knew about bts since their debut.
hmmm
you literally didnt fix anything...just delete the article and try again they are both talented artists and you just made it seem extra 🤦♀️ embarrassing jungkook has been preforming since HE WAS 15 sis she didnt help him with anything
BS. Jungkook has been performing since he was 15. His biggest inspiration have been his older brothers. Just because he saw her live doesn’t mean she taught him his whole career
ew refinery29

We all know how hardworking JK is and that he is always bettering himself. He’s been performing amazingly since 2013. I love Ariana but the headline is misleading for anyone that didn’t read the article.
This is not it 🤦🏻♀️.. they’re both great performers but i can’t even imagen her being as stable while dancing to choreo half as hard as BTS’s.. No offense but JK’s stage presence is wayyy better than hers & i doubt he learned everything from her
He’s performed since he was 15
If you are here for women as it says in your bio, that doesn't meab you downgrade men or undermine them. Please Jungkook was already verryyyyy talented before he met ari😒😒😒😒
STOP DISCREDITING KOOK. I LOVE ARI BUT THIS IS ALL WRONG AND FAKE NEWS
they're both passionate artists, the headline isn't it, change it.
bs
He just said he admires her performance. That’s it, don’t Insult our little bunny 🐰 🤦🏾♀️
If you don't know anything about BTS, Jungkook, or even know how to research the artists you write about... just don't. You completely disrespected and discredited this hard working young man who's been in the music industry for YEARS. 😐
Blocked
he's been performing since he was 15 yrs old wtf is this
Writer should have just brought JK's tweet word-for-word for the title. Instead she tried interpreting it, failed, and made him seem like a rookie. He simply said he learned from the concert and he was inspired. Your title is over the top and inaccurate.
Flop
Inspired by another artist, yes. I suggest you go watch BTS' 2016 MAMA performance. They've been THAT good for years. Western artists should take note. No shade to her, this is about BTS and western media's opinion that anything non-western is subpar.
Note the headline on this story has been updated to provide greater context. Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
He said he was INSPIRED BY HER STAGE. If you’re not going to “report” his exact words then you shouldn’t be writing articles on anyone.
Everyone in the comments is over looking the point they're trying to make. They refuse to give credit where credit is due to an Asian man of colour, so they deminish that by crediting his ability to a white woman, even though he out performs her. Make that make sense.
One of the world's biggest lies 😡🤢
Still not right. Try again and try harder.
He’s training since he was 13. Ariana didn’t teach him how to perform. :)
So disappointed.....I used to watch your videos on youtube ...this is just...not it, better delete this 🙄🙄
jungkook had been performing since he’s 16yo LEAVE
Try again honey💅
What kind of a headline is this ?
that's still not a good headline refinery. it still seems like his performance is completely influenced by ari when it clearly isn't. he just said he admires her performance, that's it.
Click bait and insulting to our Maknae JK
doesn't matter if you've now changed the title, still just another case of white people giving other wp credit for a POCs talent & hard work. Do ur research JK been performing since middle school not counting the yrs of training. He is world class He could teach her some things
Hmmmm....huh?
Change the headline, and do your research properly. Wording things the way you did discredits the artist
I think BTS is amazing already !
The article is good but the headline is... OH MY GOD... Please change it... clickbait 😐
Well I’m afraid bc I’m gonna see her in August..... I’ll be stanning her more than ever after the concert okkk
I need a dislike button for this headline alone... Jungkook became a great performer because of his loving team and company. Stop whitewashing everything. It's simply wrong. Wth
🤡
You just managed to get yourself blocked! 🚫
Yikes this ain't it
Absolutely not putting down Ari cause she’s great but this is VERY WRONG. The boy has been performing since he was 15. He dances, sings and shows an incredible stage presence every single time he’s on the stage.People and artists always learn from each other but don’t put his
Is that REALLY what he said though? No, no it wasn’t
?wth Jungkook didn’t debut at 15 for this. CHANGE THE HEADLINE❗️
Hes got more stage presence than her soo
Jungkook and bts are the greatest performer BTS_twt
This is not true, JUNGKOOK KNOW HOW TO PERFORM SINCE DEBUT. GOSH!!!
change the headline, this ain’t it
190504yoongi Switch the fuckin headline.

I love Ari so much but Ari is not a dancer. Jungkook was 19 in this video, he knows what he’s doing. And he is hella amazing performer dear Refinery
He started his career at 13 y/o now he’s about to be 22!!! Refinery you need to check your sources and change the headline and stop discrediting!
change the headline
no
BTS and JK taught BTS JK everything about performing
nope. PASS
y'all just keep fucking up
delete yourself
Jungkook always had a big passion for performing. Y’all,, the headline isn’t professional at all
LOL WTF .. she can actually learn how to sign while dancing like crazy from him
you make me sick
Most armys in the replies calling Ariana a 'western artist' and degrading her performances to defend Jungkook are making me laugh so much. Defend our boy but don't come for my girl.
jungkook debuted at the age of 15 in 2013 and has been performing passionately since then, you guys made it look like he didn't knew anything about performing by saying ariana 'taught' him and it's a disrespect toward his artistry and hardwork, kindly delete this article
thanks for changing the headline
Listen they support each other, and yes. But that doesn't mean he'll magically be more passionate after seeing her stage, nor she will so. You're exaggerating.
Just delete ur whole self 🤡
Ambos son los mejores vocales de esta industria, ambos son realmente talentosos, sus voces combinadas serian la mejor melodia!!
No hate to ariana, but jungkook has more stage presence than ariana
Delete lmao
I want to say Jungkook was great performer when he was 15 years old . He is king and born to be performer . He respect Ariana grande and he will challenged himself to be better after seeing her stage performance. That’s what he mean .
modooborahae He basically said IN ENGLISH that he was inspired by her performance and meant he had fun. Anything along these lines would have been accurate.
wow cool ever since jungkook debuted, he apparently didn't know how to deliver awesome performances until she met ariana grande last month. he should be thankful and grateful cause she gave him a private course to teach him all about performing, right?
That's why we live for concerts! MGMAVOTE + BTS (BTS_twt)
When will you give BTS the credit they deserved from their own HARDWORK? Just write ‘JK got inspired by her’....is it that hard?
When will you give BTS the credit they deserve from their own HARDWORK?
They're both passionate artists, try again and change the headline
They just met this year. Jk has been performing since before 2013. 🤡
Rude
you fool
He didn't say that. Check with a translator and do not twist his words, and for the love of GOD, can western media stop degrading BTS members' talent and hard work just to be thrown and credited to a western artist? Until when BTS and ARMY will have to keep up with the racism!
Actuay he didnt say what this article says he said at all....all this stupid writer does is over exaggerates what jungkook really said to make it look like ariana is the reason for his phenomenal performances...make it make sense.
please rewrite the headline because Jungkook has been passionate before he even know Ariana Grande
He was being overly polite thats just how bts is unfortunately they constantly downplay their skills,ya'll writers have zero comprehension skills,anyone who has watched jungkook& bts's performances and concerts can see that everyone should learn from them on how to put on a show.
This is false. Koreans are really polite. Stop dragging other artists. He's an amazing performer.
Who wrote that sensational first headline that erased years of a PoC’s work? Do your writers take pride in being hysterically mentally deficient or is willful ignorance a requirement for working at R29 now? I know things are bad but DAMN. TeenVogue pls school this fool.
don’t take advantage of jeongguk being the most humble and kind person alive, he’s a mf superstar and to say his whole career performing is influenced by one white woman is f*cking gross. he might be nice but we as his fans don’t take bullshit. do better.
delete this
Check your facts!! Thanks
Thats not even eye what bruh
change the headline luv
why you wrote that but I am the one who feels ashamed? 🤦♀️
Literally what?
To think you could have had like 40k likes by now if you had a decent journalist...tsk..tsk!!
This..idk what to say anymore. Y'all acting like Ariana is his mentor or something
Delete
He started giving auditions from 15 years of age. There's something called as 'Doing your research'.
Change the fucking title. They’re both amazing off and on stage, but the title ain’t it.
Ariana sweetie imma get out of there
14 yo jungkook say hi
Jungkook didnt work his ass off since he was 12 for yall to discredit him n say that ariana taught him everything? Yea watching her on stage inspired him but he literally would teach her stop discrediting poc that work hard 😐 n stop discrediting jungkook change ur headline
next time if you don't know how to write articles, you better stay home
y’all really think a non-white person can’t have original talent and it shows
Change the headline. That’s completely disrespectful to Jungkook. You’re discrediting years of hard work.
I thought you were better then that . The headline ain't it
Imagine thinking Ariana taught jungkook anything when that boy has been performing like a beast literally flying across stadiums belting high notes like it was nothing....
yall gonna do the most to attribute their success and talent to white people. aren't you tired already?
lmao nice try
change the headline
Thank you 🙏🏼
this headline ain’t it. So disrespectful
better
girl this fuckin headline £||{^*{|!€||¥\\¥|€|
This headline just makes the writer look so ignorant.
change the headline please. it’s a bit rude...
guys they changed the headline😊
LOL WHAT, change the headline juseyo
Change the title
Um jk being to humble i guess
tf was that headline
hes what ?
Another white headline invalidating POC, what's new? Who wrote that trash?
My sisters are snapping down here lol Chill! They can't put a whole story long ass intro as a headline, and I honestly don't see this article first imply something offensive.
Ugh why the US media is so fkn annoying....he knew how to perform 7 years ago nobody taught him shit 2 months ago 😑
the headline ugly af
oh here she go. change the headline
Both of these headlines are rude, Jungkook has not been working his ass off since the age of 12 to be discredited like this. I’m sure he respects Ariana and enjoyed her performances, hell he might receive a bit of inspiration from it but do not credit her with all of his work.
delete this :)
Tan49439902 Wow, that headline ain't it
Jk had been performing on stages, putting on performances greater than any other western act for last 6years. The headline is very misleading. Stop discrediting his hard work
He debuted 6 years ago, what are you trying to do here 🤠
why is jk so humble
Thank-you for changing 💜💜💜
change the headline pls
absolutely ridiculous, he didn’t train 8 years for nothing
he met ariana ONCE and suddenly he performs better? i like ari but dont try to think the hardwork kookie has been doing for the past 7-8 years changed after seeing her live in concert and taking a pic w/ her. stan jungkook.
please change the headline!!!
Change the headline
This is such a misleading headline... Change it
Jungkook has been making music just as long as Ariana has and has been training for even longer. this headline is insulting af. change it.
definitely not this Jungkook
Delete bish🤡 Jungkook gave clouts for Ariana. It didn't work the other way like your article is trying to make it out to be. He was being humble.Ariana could learn a thing or two about 'performance' from him. UK
rude
Jungkook is a very talented and capable guy who is a great performer that doesn’t need a western artist to “teach him everything about performing” he is doing just fine
Delete and apologize if you was learnt
Jungkook: the headline:
change the headline
Bts (especially Jungkook) are one of the most passionate performers you'd ever see, you made no points with this headline
JungkookCharts Thanks for changing the headline 💜💜 now its better
Change that headline!
HanktheTannk
Change the headline
This headline is ridiculous. A person can't even share their respect and admiration anymore without y'all doig stuff like this... 😑😑
he's literally a BTS MEMBER who debuted 6 years ago
they're both passionate artists, the headline isn't it, change it.
Thank you for writing this, but change the headline. Jungkook has been preforming for a long time and trained for even longer. Jungkook is not some beginner artist, please change it, it’s misleading
Ariana taught Jungkook everything about performance You takin weed ? Change or delete.
First of all, thank you for this article. It's very nicely written. But as far the headline is concerned, jungkook was performing this live 6 years back. So while I love ariana and his friendship, kindly don't add misleading captions🙏🏼 Let POCs thrive
that's demeaning and disrespectful, change the headline
and there we go. Thank you 🙌
Tf?
change the headline
Thank you for changing the headline 👍🏻
Thank you so much for changing the headline. We really appreciate it 🙏
stop twisting his words wtf
here Y’all go again
Change the headline
His passion for what?
The headline please. Thank you.
That headline ain’t it
its an ok writeup but taught is abit too much. dont always try to take Jungkook’s performing ability a notch down. He is in every way special in his own performing rights. He was nice enough when he says he inspired but you had to go twist it around like always. 😓
What an awful headline. Jungkook has been performing for years before he even met Ariana. Change it.
Change the headline. Who told you that?
Try again with the headline
she what?
That's demeaning
This is very misleading....
Nice try but change the headline in the actual article or just delete and try again later
change the headline...... this is so misleading 😐
Bruh
Change. The. Headline. Jungkook literally trained for 8 years, meeting Ariana once doesn’t mean that she ‘taught’ him how to perform. They are both great, and they both exchanged ideas. But none of them taught the other how to perform as I remember clearly
the wording is discrediting jungkook, he's been performing since 15 years old and always had a strong passion for performing. and i better not see anyone dragging ariana for THEIR choice of wording 🗿
Change the headline, please
The old headline was better...
Change the headline and stop disrespecting Jungkook kind and humble words towards her, Jungkook performing and slaying the stage since he was 15 years old. He performing sold out stadiums in the whole world, don’t dare to discredit him as an artist like this ?
Change the headline ........
change the headline
change the headline pls 💅
The headline is so ugly Its not like that
msbeatrice_81 Lmao pretty sure Ariana didn't teach him that crazy footwork he did for Begin at their wings concerts😂 this is ridiculous.
the headline is not right.
btsarmy lmao no
Why turn something that was so beautiful to something ugly. That heading is a no no. It implies that Jungkook doesn’t know how to perform. When he is one of the greatest performers in the industry
change the headline
I appreciate you writing about this, but the headline is not factually incorrect (he said he learned a lot – not everything), but it comes off as very disrespectful against an artist who has been hard-working in the industry since he was 12-13 years old.
Bitchhhh it's not everything alright... please. They are good friends with sharing and caring
can you change the headline? please
__gaciria Change The headline.
__gaciria Bruh.....
jungkook said he learnt a lot from her not everything but anyways stan bangriana
that headline,,, yikes
Change the headline rn
This headline is rude.
GiveItToAgustD Wrong headline!
...
dont yall think this headline is a little....... much?
Said jungkook who literally flies across the stadium while belting out high notes... I seriously cant imagine bts's limit anymore....their performances as solo and as bts are always so jaw dropping.
