On Monday, July 7, BTS' Jungkook was spotted at the Incheon International Airport along with BTS' Jimin and Suga.

During the same time, when Jungkook was photographed while making his way through the airport, many of the pictures captured the idol's nail paint. The idol was seen wearing black and blueish-purple nail paint. When this image landed on the internet, fans speculated that the blueish purple nail paint on his ring finger could be released to the Polished Man movement.
The Polished Man movement is a global movement that aims to raise awareness and funds to fight against the violence experienced by women and children. The movement also encourages people to support by painting one of their fingernails blue. Therefore, many made a correlation between this movement and Jungkook's new nail paint.
However, no confirmation regarding the idol's intention with the message he aimed to communicate through his nail paint has been provided as of yet. Regardless, fans and networks have been praising the idol's initiative to participate in the Polished Man movement. Here are a few fan reactions on the same:
"oh my goddd....let him have some fun...not everything needs to have a purpose!!...maybe he just wanted to paint his nails...end of story!!"
"The concept it to paint a singular nail, he has all his nails done, it's nothing to do with this movement" said a fan on X
"I don't think so because according to the campaign you need to colour only a single finger. Jungkook has coloured others with black aswell which is matching with his hat. Let's not conclude anything!!" added another fan
"STOP ASSUMING THIS SH!T, YALL CAN GET HIM DRAGGED OR EVEN WORSE....OMG" commented a netizen
More fans and netizens talked about how they were elated to see the idol's contribution to the current social issues and movements.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that he also has an all-black outfit and only the CK of the hat is also blue, Jungkook is thoughtful." stated a fan
"if this is true, i’m gonna cry like fr this man sets my standards even HIGHER" added an X user
"not for certain that his nails are painted for polished man but jungkook is always supporting different causes through his clothes, through his jewelry etc" said a netizen
"idk whether jungkook painted his nails to support the polished man campaign or to match his cap or simply bc he fancied being a funky lil guy but whatever the reason, he’s a lil cutiepie and i adore him & his groovy nails" commented another X user
