BTS V’s New Body Modification Sparks Major Reactions
On April 9, BTS kicked off their BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, South Korea, amid a steady downpour that had everyone getting wet and wild.

During the concert, BTS performed some new songs from their ARIRANG album for the first time and combined them with older hit songs, like “Fire”. From the dancing to the members’ live vocals, there’s plenty to talk about, but V‘s new look is attracting plenty of attention on its own.
Although it would have been difficult for concertgoers to see in person from a distance, videos and photos captured what appears to be a new eyebrow piercing.

Naturally, some fans are wondering whether it’s real or just part of his concert look…

…and even Jungkook is giving it special attention! Jungkook, who has several body modifications of his own (tattoos and piercings), gave V his stamp of approval with a thumbs-up while V was speaking to the audience.
