Did BTS' Jungkook get a chest tattoo? Singer debuts new ink at J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE encore concert
Jungkook is no stranger to surprises, and frankly, neither is the BTS ARMY. But somehow, he always manages to come back with a change so unexpected that the fans are left flabbergasted. On June 13, as BTS celebrates 12 years of their debut, J-Hope held the first day of his HOPE ON THE STAGE concert in Goyang, and it was worth every bit the wait, and some more. The youngest of the group seems to have hinted at a new tattoo on his chest.
After coloring an arm of his, fully in intricate doodles, Jungkook may be looking at working on his chest next. His latest appearance at the HOPE ON THE STAGE concert has the fans convinced. During his surprise appearance, he made a dashing entry to his and the host's collaboration track, i wonder. Soon after, he performed one of his most celebrated releases, SEVEN. The crowd went nuts with his show of artistry right after a break of 1 and a half years due to military enlistment.
Jungkook's new tattoo
Amid all this, there was another detail that the fans ought not miss. A swallow-like tattoo appeared on the right side of his chest, peeking slightly from underneath his white vest. The star seemingly cannot keep a secret to himself, as fans soon noticed it, going wild with the theories of what it could be.
Other eagle-eyed BTS ARMY noticed the little details about his new ink, and claimed it appeared colored— no surprise there, Jungkook has been very experimental with these so far. His post military experience and tattoo is bound to be something more unique than what we've seen before.
Jungkook also performed Jamais Vu with J-Hope and Jin, as well as danced along with the audience when group tracks like MIC Drop, Baepsae, and Airplane Pt. 2 were being performed.

Still not over Squid Game 3's most painful death? More K-Dramas with sad character endings you need to watch
Squid Game has come to an end with season 3, and a lot more deaths have left people numb this season. The final death, in particular, is one they did not wish for nor did they see it coming. Among the many sacrifices, this death is sure to haunt fans of the series for a long time to come. Although the death hit the hardest in Squid Game, there are a lot more deaths that hit the hardest in K-Dramas itself. Right from Goblin to Hwarang, there were sacrifices that felt too painful to handle. These sad character endings remain in our head, rent-free. A still from Squid Game Season 3 From Goblin to Hwarang, find all the latest OTT releases on OTTplay Premium When people say Goblin is the G.O.A.T of K-Dramas, they were not kidding. The series has everything that a K-Drama essentially is, including the biggest K-trauma of all time aka a painful death. Ji Eun-tak, who spent her whole life being spared only to see ghosts ask her for a favour because she is Goblin's wife, already lead a tough life. And then, when she had it all, Eun-tak learned that her life was coming to an end. She had to break free from the circle and be reborn to eventually marry Kim Shin aka the Goblin. Her death and the waiting period were the toughest on both Goblin as well as the viewers who were invested in their cute love story. Kim Mi-young's baby in You Are My Destiny Squid Game 3's story of the baby is probably inspired from You Are My Destiny, only this time, the baby dies. Kim Mi-young wants to save her baby but either only her or the baby can survive. Although she wants to save the baby over herself, Mi-young's selfish ex Gun saves her and lets the baby die. The news of losing her baby was already hard on Mi-young and Gun refuses her proposal to stay together either. This makes it a sadder moment. Han Sung in Hwarang Playing an innocent character in his debut K-Drama, BTS' Kim Taehyung aka V decided to give everyone a traumatic ending to his character. He decided to stay loyal to Moo Myung and keep him away from all harm's way. Thus, when he learns the news of his grandfather trying to poison and kill Moo Myung during a sword fight, Han Sung swoops in and dies instead. The unexpected death hit hard, especially because it was V's acting debut with Hwarang. He has not worked in another K-Drama since. 365: Repeat The Year being Squid Game recap, Hyeon-ju getting the harshest treatment of all 365: Repeat The Year has a concept similar to Squid Game. Many characters experience painful deaths, which is also a concept common with Squid Game. However, if like Gi-hun this season, we had to pick a death that hit the hardest, it would be Hyeon-ju. He had to die along with Ga-hyun every single time, and wake up with no recollection of the gruesome death, only to be faced with the cruel destiny once in every 365 days. Every single year, they would die only to wake up with no recollection of what happened and live life again while waiting for the day of their painful deaths, The Final Destination style. By the time of the series finale, the real murderer even framed Hyeon-ju for all the murders and finally confessed to his crime of resetting the timelines 'just for fun' with a wide smile. All of Do Hyun-soo's victims in Flower of Evil A past experience and near-death experience pushes Do Hyun-soo to explore what painful death would be like. Thus, he releases hell upon his victims while pretending to live as Baek Hee-sung. Hyun-soo's own mother explored the idea of painful death before dying in the same manner. Now, Hyun-soo has a silver box stored somewhere which hides the fingernails of his victims so far.
