As BTS Jungkook shows off new chest tattoo in rare gym photo, fans dig out his old tattoo-less pics: ‘He's come so far'
It's not just the music that's evolving in K-pop; the idols are too. Jungkook, BTS's golden maknae, is no longer the baby-faced boy who debuted with shy smiles and schoolboy charm. A recent post-workout photo has fans buzzing after revealing his ever-growing tattoo collection — this time, a detailed chest piece that sparked an online frenzy. BTS Jungkook shows off new chest tattoo in rare gym photo The picture, shared by Jungkook's gym trainer Ma Sun Ho, captures the singer in a black tank, shorts, and a beanie, mid-coffee break after an intense session. While his face is partially hidden behind a mask, his newly visible chest tattoo wasn't, and it immediately stole the spotlight. Ma captioned the post with a playful jab at the idol's drive: 'Today is another JK and, why you gotta go so hard? Training continues even in Korea.' It didn't take long for ARMY to start dissecting the image. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'I can't wait until we get a clearer look and maybe even the story behind Jungkook's new tattoo, if he chooses to share it with us of course. From this photo it looks like an abstract design... what if it's something he drew himself? Regardless, JK and the tattoo look amazing!' Another joked, 'Don't let his jungkookieness distract you from his new tattoo peaking out.' But what really sent fans into nostalgic overdrive was when one user posted a throwback pic of Jungkook before he got inked — creating a dramatic before-and-after moment that felt like a snapshot of K-pop's shifting era. Gone are the days when BTS had to maintain a squeaky-clean, tightly curated image just to build a following. Now, in a world where Blackpink members push fashion boundaries on tour and idols like Bain from Just B come out onstage, Jungkook's tattoos feel less like rebellion and more like evolution. Whether this latest chest tattoo carries personal meaning or is simply an aesthetic choice, fans are absolutely here for it.

But it didn't take long for controversy to catch up with him.

TBH I dragged so many people but didn't really hate anyone. Wasn't it idols being dragged into fanwars between fans? If you hate my actions, I apologize, ok?" the apology in question, no wonder they're not spreading it 😭😭😭 The tone struck many as dismissive, vague, and insincere - not a real apology, but a casual brush-off of serious allegations.

‘Frustrated' Bengaluru Man Says Daily Commute Feels Like ‘Negotiating A Maze'
The individual mentioned that after leaving home at 10 AM, they found their usual route was closed because of sewage work. Bengaluru's traffic jams have become a big problem for locals, as we come across various stories of people getting stuck for hours. One person recently shared their struggle by claiming that 'Riding in Bengaluru is like a maze." The individual mentioned that after leaving home at 10 AM, they found their usual route was closed because of sewage work, followed by the second and third routes due to similar reasons. The person didn't get far and had to turn back home within 15 minutes. Later, they joined meetings from home and only left for the office after 12:30 PM. Taking to Reddit, the user wrote, 'The other day I started from my house at 10 AM hoping to reach the office by 10:30. Took one street which I take daily, and it is blocked due to sewage work. Took the second route, and that is blocked too due to sewage work. Took the third route, and that has traffic piled up for a mile because other routes are blocked. Not just me, but I saw so many two-wheelers confused trying to negotiate the maze. Felt like a zombie movie where everyone is running around like a headless chicken." 'All three routes were not even main roads. At 10:15, I was still near my house without making much progress. Took a U-turn again and headed home instead of the office, and continued to take meetings from home and left for the office at 12:30 pm. It is sad that our daily tragedy is turning into an experience of negotiating a maze," the user added. Another shared, 'Exactly. Riding a bike here is like playing Tetris. You try to fit wherever you can. Ultimate chaos, waste of time, money, mental health." 'Time taken to get out of Marathahalli: 20 minutes. Time taken to reach the office after that: 5 minutes. I have stopped taking the bridge to get back home altogether. I take the turn from Jeevika Hospital now. And even then, there's somehow a new choke point near Torq8," a comment read. One more added, 'Schadenfreude: The pure pleasure of seeing bike riders feel the same pain as us on four wheels. JK, I feel your pain, buddy! This city will be the death of me." As Bengaluru traffic continues to test everyone's patience, one office worker earlier shared a basic but smart idea to deal with it. Instead of getting stuck on the road, he suggested that people who live close to their office should simply walk. He explained that walking might actually be quicker than using a car or bike. He also pointed out that the weather is good, which makes walking even better. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 16:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
