#wait wait and i just heard from irls that jungkook's knuckle tattoo says 'ARMY' in it...

[39th]

It's not that no Kp*p idol is allowed to have tattoos, many do. Most just have very small ones. It's a mix of culture, fear, image, older generation's frowns etc (I'm Asian). J@y P*rk (terrible person tho) has a lot of tattoos. Big celebrities getting tattos is helping destigmatize tattoos, J@y P*rk is one of the people who did it in a big way and he's a rapper, rappers have them more than idols do. Jungkook has always been adventurous, he had 4 to 6 piercings and at some point he tried gauge too. Back then some entitled fans whined about it so he took them out, there are 1000x more fans now and he is much more comfortable doing what he likes unapologetically.. from tattoos to long hair or pigtails. Another factor is company, so far BTS's company is the most lenient and progressive with their policies. They did hide his first knuckle tattoos (fandom nane, members' initials) in the beginning, they'll have to hide the sleeve for TVs now too, but they can't forbid him. It's not like BTS would be fired 😂 But this is the company whose CEO bought one of their older gnc male artist his first pair of high heels 😊 (and speculated by general public to be scouting queer artists all the time 😂)

The other two HYBE artists everyone seems to have gender envy for are Jimin and Yeonjun. They also have similar mindsets as Jungkook. Those two like playing with gender in a sensual way, Jimin sparked a huge conversation with his performance of Filter.

Sorry this is a lot of info, it's rare to see genuine progressiveness from Kp*p industry, and these people have been doing it for a long time, they've been a comfort to us queer fans for a long time.

Back to Jungkook, he is a very sweet polite introverted guy who loves gaming and snacks, gets incredibly jealous if his big brothers aren't playing with him, and likes to use them as weights when he does push ups. Please be kind to him and his big brothers. (If you want, look up Begin lyrics translation on doolset blog you'll understand)

i'm just so happy that their company is now more lenient about showing jungkook's tattoos! idk why they wanna hide it anyway, those tattoos look super good on him. i think they should just let jungkook stream live n show off his tattoos in HD and explain it in full detail !! that's obviously what the people want ♡ i hope the other companies start taking notes too and let their idols do whatever they want with their bodies!!

@ kpop companies just let your idols express themselves freely. it's really not that hard
