BTS member Jungkook has come under criticism from fans after sharing an AI-generated video featuring his pet dog Bam. The video was posted through his alternative Instagram account, “bowwow_bam,” and shows Bam performing the choreography of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” alongside two other dogs. While the post may have been intended as light-hearted content, it quickly sparked a different reaction among some international fans.
The backlash comes amid a wider debate within the BTS fandom over the use of generative AI. Fans opposed to the technology have raised concerns about its ethical and environmental impact, making Jungkook’s latest post particularly controversial.

The controversy began after Jungkook shared the short AI-generated clip on his alternative Instagram account. The video digitally depicts Bam dancing to the choreography associated with Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” alongside two other dogs.
The post quickly attracted attention on social media, but a section of fans was unhappy with Jungkook using generative AI. Several users urged the singer not to promote AI-generated content to his large audience, while others criticised the video more directly.
Fans Criticise The Use Of Generative AI
The strongest reactions came from fans who are already opposed to generative AI. Some argued that AI-generated animal videos contribute to the growing amount of content they consider unnecessary or problematic.
The criticism was not limited to the video itself. Fans also questioned why Jungkook would share AI content despite the broader concerns surrounding the technology. The reactions quickly turned the otherwise playful Bam video into a discussion about AI and celebrity influence.

The latest incident is not the first time Jungkook has faced criticism from fans over AI-generated material. Koreaboo also notes that several BTS members have previously spoken openly about their concerns surrounding the technology, with Jungkook described as one of the more vocal members on the subject.
That background has made the new post more controversial for some fans. Instead of viewing it as an isolated social media upload, they are connecting it to earlier conversations about Jungkook and AI.
AI Debate Adds Another Controversy For BTS Fans
The reaction to Jungkook’s Bam video highlights the growing divide over generative AI within online fan communities. While AI tools are increasingly being used for entertainment and creative content, many users remain uncomfortable with their ethical implications and environmental cost.
For now, the criticism remains largely centred on social media, with fans expressing disappointment over Jungkook’s decision to share the video. The incident shows how even a short and seemingly harmless post from a global star can quickly become part of a much bigger conversation.
