ARMY Finally Finds the Meaning Behind the Writing Tattoo on Jungkook's Arm, What Is It?

Kapanlagi.com - ARMY, the term for BTS fans, was stirred up by the mysterious and always hidden tattoos of Jungkook. Recently, fans of this K-Pop world detective found a new theory about the ink markings on the body of BTS member.

One of Jungkook's tattoos, which looks like crossed writing, is somewhat visible in the MV ON released on February 27, 2020. Although it took some time, ARMY started to find clarity about the meaning behind this particular Jungkook tattoo. As reported by Koreaboo, this theory was created by an ARMY on Twitter named @headbandsuga.

1. Life Motto

Previously, this tattoo was often covered and only partially visible from the sleeve of Jungkook's shirt. Fans speculated that the vertical writing of this tattoo reads "Rather be dead than cool," which means it is better to die than to live without motivation. This phrase is a quote from the song Nirvana titled Stay Away.

Pretty sure JK’s crossword tattoo says:

“Rather be dead than cool”
“Make hay while the sun shines”

Two mottos about living passionately and seizing the opportunity in front of you. He’s the epitome of hardworking. Jungkook!!!!!! ???? pic.twitter.com/7JAXJkya5r

Back in 2018, Jungkook mentioned in a live stream that he really liked that phrase. The youngest member of BTS even admitted that he made it his life motto.

2. Old Proverb

Meanwhile, the horizontal writing on Jungkook's tattoo is believed by ARMY to say, "make hay while the sun shines". This phrase is a quote from an old proverb, which means to seize the opportunity and do your best. A sentence that suits Jungkook, who is a hard worker, right?

Fans have also discovered several other tattoos on Jungkook's hand and arm. Until the tattoos are clearly visible, ARMY will continue to create theories about the meanings and locations of the tattoos on Jungkook's body.
