K-netizens comment on cri.ti.cism over BTS Jungkook’s tatt.oos

The topic of BTS Jungkook’s tattoos was recently brought up.

A netizen on Nate Pann recently made a post titled “Isn’t the fact that BTS Jungkook gets tattoos a little bit disappointing?”.

They said, “Even in countries where tattoos are commonly done, people don’t even get this many tattoos. To be honest, tattoos are still hard to be accepted in Korea’s culture. Even for ordinary people, no matter how excellent they do their job, others would still judge them. Most people accept long hair but they don’t like tattoos. It would have been better if he kept the teenage image without tattoos and continued showing the innocent charm that fans like. To be honest, the tattoos ruined everything”

In response, other netizens commented:

  • Jeon Jungkook is not only famous in Korea anyway. In fact, even if tattoos cause discomfort to Korean people, those who don’t like them have already left the fandom and those who accept them would stayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the US, where people focus more on money and records, tattoos don’t matter. So, why are you disappointed about that? From the perspective of a fan, I felt a sense of regret in 2019. But it’s been four years since he got tattoos now and people are still criticizing him for that? Aren’t they anti-fans? No one really cares about the tattoos and people still compliment Jungkook for his huge success as a solo artistㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ironically, you will only get criticized for criticizing his tattoos
  • Jungkook is already an adult, so let him make his own decision and accept him as he is. People who criticize tattoos are so annoying
  • Criticizing the tattoos is meaningless now. He still maintains his popularity and strong fandom despite having tattoos
  • Having so many fans is also a problem. Just go have fun somewhere else
  • And people are bringing up the tattoo issue again? Isn’t it a pity to write something like this now? Just live your life
  • He got his tattoos 4 years ago but some people are still making a mess about it. He’s already a global superstar, what’s the point of criticizing him for having tattoos? Stop paying attention to Jungkook and take good care of your own life
