Jungkook has not confirmed if the lip piercing is real
On May 21, BTS released “Butter,” their second English-language single. Throughout the “Butter” era, Jungkook appeared to have an eyebrow piercing while promoting the song. However, the BTS singer showed fans in a VLIVE that the piercing was not real and was actually a stick-on piercing.
