Netizens Worldwide Love That BTS’s Jungkook Will Be On The Cover Of Dazed UK With His Unedited Scar
It was recently announced that BTS‘s Jungkook will be the cover of the 2023 Autumn issue of the magazine Dazed UK.
Dazed is a bi-monthly British lifestyle magazine founded in 1991 that covers a variety of entertainment, such as music, fashion, film, art, and literature.
Jungkook is the first K-pop act in history to be the cover of the original Dazed.
The BTS singer’s not-yet-released magazine cover showed him sitting inside a car, holding onto a steering wheel, and wearing a jacket with nothing on inside. With his lip piercing and his nonchalant gaze, he had a “bad boy” image that netizens loved.
Whereas other photoshoots airbrushed celebrity’s faces and photoshopped them, the picture of Jungkook showed the texture of his skin and even the scar he got when he was young. Netizens found this charming.
진짜 정국이 볼 흉터 개좋아함
본인 의지로 충분히 지울 수 있었겠지만
지우지 않아서 얼굴 돌렸을때 나오는 분위기가 서사 오조억개 가능임 pic.twitter.com/9Bzu7D9sUQ— 즌 (@onereason_JK) September 10, 2023
I really love Jungkook’s cheek scar. He could’ve erased it with his own will but because he didn’t erase it, the atmosphere that comes out when he turns his face gives him 5 trillion narratives.
