So apparently, after a grueling 21‑month selfie drought on Weverse—yes, that long, as in nearly two full years—our golden maknae finally decided it was selfie o’clock again. And of course, this wasn’t just a lukewarm “hey I’m alive” post. No, listeners: he came roaring back with iconic lip piercings, new tattoos, and vagaries of dramatic facial accessories that had the ARMY collectively losing their minds.
During BTS’s first full-group live (OT7) since completing military service in early July 2025, netizens immediately zoomed in: there’s a fresh chest tattoo peeking out, and wait—did Jungkook just add another one to the opposite arm? While video quality muddied things a bit, fans overwhelmingly believe that yes, he’s diving head‑first into a full tattoo renaissance. Some bold souls even claimed: “lip piercing & earrings are back”.
To recap: he’s officially back—and not gently. He reintroduced his lip piercing (risky move but oh-so satisfying for ARMY, who practically threw a parade over it), revived earrings, and dropped tattoos that fans swear were new. Fan posts included remarks like “lip piercing back the world is healing” and “so he is so BACK BABY!”
Let’s break it down in sarcastic outrage:
- A selfie drought of 21 months? Wow, I almost forgot what he looked like. Riotous.
- Then out of nowhere: new ink. Fresh chest tattoo, possible arm tattoo, maybe elbow tattoo next? Who knows. Does he sleep?
- Lip piercing return? How dare he bring back a piercing that nearly collasped the multiverse with excitement.
- Live comeback performance. First time in three years with all seven together, and Jungkook selects this moment to return with bodily art galore. Thanks, buddy. Appreciate it.
But honestly—and I say this with all the love ARMY feels—he owns this look. It’s edgy, it’s bold, it’s Jungkook. The resurfacing lip ring plus new tattoos aren’t just fashion statements—they’re declarations that we’re done being subtle. He’s rewriting the aesthetic rulebook.
Despite the shrieking fangirls, fans also offered heartfelt takes—this is his physical canvas, his creative expression, his return to full form after military service. So yes, outrage at the delay, sarcasm at the dramatic reveal, but ultimately, love for Jungkook and everything he chooses to express.
If you needed proof that Jungkook is back and ready to command headlines—selfies, body art, piercings included—this is it. Drop the mic.
