The new world tour titled “ARIRANG” by BTS—the largest-scale tour in K-pop history—officially kicked off in spectacular fashion today, April 9, at the Goyang Main Stadium. Long before the show began, streams of fans—ARMY—dressed in purple raincoats continuously flooded the venue. The sheer energy from the crowd at the 50,000-seat stadium was so intense that it seemed to overshadow the cold, rainy weather.

As soon as all seven members stepped onto the stage, thunderous cheers erupted from the stadium, echoing across the entire city of Goyang, also the hometown of leader RM. As promised, BTS delivered a feast for both the eyes and ears, warming fans’ hearts after four years of waiting with a 360-degree stage, new songs, and a series of elaborately produced, grand remixes of their legendary нιтs.

Beyond the overwhelming impression of the spectacular opening show, one of the highlights that fans couldn’t stop talking about after the concert ended was V’s surprising “new” look!

In several moments during the performance when the camera focused on V, many observant ARMY noticed what appeared to be a silver piercing on his right eyebrow. However, due to the rainy weather and his wet hair partially covering his face, fans were initially unsure whether they were seeing it correctly, or if it was truly an eyebrow piercing or just an attached accessory.

And right when ARMY needed an “answer,” Jungkook stepped in to confirm the truth!

In a natural on-stage interaction, Jungkook personally brushed V’s hair aside, clearly revealing the right eyebrow with the sparkling piercing. He even shouted out after that: "God ∂αми!", making V even not have time to react and just gave a shy smile. The action immediately sent the entire stadium into a frenzy and quickly went viral on social media. Many also noticed that the position of V’s piercing closely matched the eyebrow piercing style Jungkook had worn before.

Not only did Jungkook confirm that V had indeed gotten an eyebrow piercing, but his action also sparked interesting speculation among fans about whether the “golden maknae” had inspired V to try out this new style. Meanwhile, some fans were thrilled by the moment Jungkook revealed V’s piercing, commenting: "Taehyung got his eyebrow pierced and jungkook showed it. OMG my boys", "What's funny is that there's nothing to fix. He intended to let ARMY know", "Bromance my arse!", "He was sueing that hair out of his hyungs bare handsome face", "HOBI REPRESENTING US", "Why is jungkook barking lmaodhshsjshj", "Jungkook tried to expose Taehyung's new piercing",...

Beyond Jungkook’s viral reaction, ARMYs also praised V’s new style, viewing it as a new step forward in his personal image—becoming increasingly bold and experimental. They couldn’t stop admiring his striking new look, exclaiming:

- So its time to end myself. And I'm sure It is jungkook's influence

- Byeee, see you somewhere out side of the world. bruhhh hleppppp HE IS SO HOTTTTT
