Jungkook self-harm: Truth behind Bangtan Boys member's wrist injuries

BTS member Jungkook has been involved in rumors that he has been hurting himself by cutting his wrists, and the concern among his fans has grown.

These rumors began with a particular photo of Jungkook at the 2017 KBS Festival. The photo began circulating online and netizens claim that the marks on his wrists are self-harming.

These rumors began to spread rapidly. However, most of the people who claim self-harm are not fans of the group, but are people dedicated to spreading lies to harm the group.

It is the well-known "haters" who spread the rumors to provoke controversy.

Proof of Jungkook's clean wrists

The fan shared several photos showing Jungkook on SBS Gayo Daejun on the 25th and the KBS Festival on the 29th to showcase the singer's wrists.

Here is the original tweet with the proof:

“Don’t fall into the haters’ trap~ The first photo os from Gayo Daejun on the 25th, and it has no scars. The other photos are from the 29th at the Song Festival and it also doesn’t have scar marks. It looks like he got the scars after his performances, so don’t be fed into the rumors. And even if the scar marks are real, there’s nothing to be worried about."

In South Korea there is a game that is quite popular, and it is known that BTS members often play it behind the scenes while waiting for a show.

This juice consists of hitting the loser enough to leave a mark on the arms or wrists.

There are even videos showing the force BTS members use for these types of games, which shows that they may have hit hard enough to leave a mark on Jungkook's wrists.
