• J-Hope Gives ARMYs A Glimpse Of His First Tattoo After BTS Announce Hiatus

    Fans are in tears at J-Hope's recent Instagram post.

    "Yet to come", J-Hope captioned a new set of photos he shared to his personal Instagram account on June 15th. Fans and netizens were particularly taken with the first photo.

    The tattoo of the number "7" on the back of the male idol's calf is clearly visible in this picture. BTS leader RM recently revealed a tattoo of this design as a symbol of the group's closeness, so it appears to be the same design. On June 10th, prior to J-Hope, RM shared a photo of the '7' tattoo on his ankle on Instagram.

    Because J-Hope's friendship tattoo was posted only one day after the rest of BTS revealed that they will be taking a break from group activities to concentrate on solo activities, viewing it brought tears to the eyes of fans.

    Netizens in Korea were quick to comment on TheQoo:

    • “Did each member choose the number seven for their group tattoo?”
    • “He couldn’t even get his ears pierced back in the day… A tattoo…”
    • “J-Hope, who had his ears pierced but only wore clip-on earrings because he was afraid of getting sick, now has this friendship tattoo. I'm crying.”
    • “Our scaredy-cat Hobi ㅠㅠ I’m sobbing ㅠㅠ”
    • “It's heartfelt, and I adore that J-Hope, who couldn't even get his ears pierced, now has a tattoo… ”

    According to Big Hit Music, the announcement that BTS group activities would be temporarily halted was misunderstood. "The members will do a lot of solo activities in the future", Big Hit Music stated in an official statement on June 15. In addition, there are going to be group activities going on at the same time.

    On June 10, BTS released their new album, "Proof". Upon its initial release, the album's title tune swiftly rose to the top of various music charts.

  • BTS's V Causes MASSIVE Crowd Chaos in Indonesia - Fans Flock to SimInvest Event for Exclusive V Merch

    BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

    In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

    For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

    To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

    V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

    This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

    It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
