About idols, appearance is always one of the most important thing. K-pop idols rarely reveal their flaws when appearing in public, but sometimes they have scars in quite visible places.
Jungkook's scars are such a case. Although he is a superstar, he is actually a normal person who has experienced some "incidents" that led to scars on his body. And he also does not hesitate to share the origin of them with ARMYs.
Here are 3 scars on Jungkook's body that you may not know and the stories behind them:
In the eyes of almost everyone, Jungkook is considered a perfect idol in every way. He is also praised as a male idol with a harmonious and comprehensive visual. His physical beauty is probably the reason why his physical flaws are overshadowed.
In fact, Jungkoook has a few scars on his body, formed after α¢¢ι∂єитs when he was young. But among them, there are also scars left by injuries during work. Each scar is αѕѕociated with a memorable memory for him, and there are even scars that make him feel regretful.
Jungkook once shared with fans about the 3 scars on his body and the injuries that made him aware of the consequences of not protecting himself well. The first scar that many people do not notice is the scar on his left cheek, which is often completely covered by makeup, making it difficult for fans to recognize.
The Golden Maknae said that this scar formed during Jungkook's wild childhood. He once said that he had a fιgнт with his brother over a game console and got injured, which eventually left a scar. Fortunately, the wound was not in a dangerous place and Jungkook still grew up with gorgeous visual.
Next, a scar that many people know about is the scar on his left heel. It was the result when Jungkook was cut by a sharp object while stretching before performing at Love Yourself Tour in London 2018. In the BTS documentary, most people can see that the wound was quite deep, ble3ding heavily, and was clearly a serious α¢¢ι∂єит.
Thinking about this scar, Jungkook expressed: "I was so out of my mind on the first day (of the concert). I couldn’t focus. I regretted it so much. I blamed myself. Why did I do that? Why did I warm up?’ If so, this wouldn't have happened. The fact that I couldn't perform made me so sad that I burst into tears. I also feel embarrαѕѕed."
Finally, Jungkook's third scar is on his left shoulder. While filming a commercial for Calvin Klein Fall 2023, Jungkook fell and injured himself. He once shared in a live broadcast about it: "I got the scar from that one scene where I’m running downhill in that parking structure thing. Yeah, for the [Calvin Klein] shoot, I tried running down the structure. But the surface was slippery, so I fell. And my shoulders took some impact. I, like, rolled over. I couldn’t move my fingers, either. But it’s completely healed now. I’m totally fine. It’s OK! Stuff like that happens".
In addition, most recently on the day that eldest Jin was discharged from the military, fans discovered that Jungkook had a new scar. It was on his arm, and it looked like a burn. At the time, fans speculated that it might have been an α¢¢ι∂єит while he was cooking in the barracks since he is a military chef. Fans are looking forward to him being able to talk about the incident after he's discharged next year.
In the end, each injury not only brings physical pain and mental fatigue but also a valuable lesson for them to learn and take better care of themselves. Fans always hope that BTS in general or Jungkook in particular will not encounter these incidents again!
