South Korean Politician Accused of 'Using' Jungkook to Promote BillThe bill is trying to liberalize tattooing in South Korea. I really don't see what they have against idols having tattoos... it's their body, let them do what they want. Yes the politician used Jungkook to promote the bill but what bothers me is the excuses of said BTS fans. It is a good thing to liberalize tattooing so that koreans, like Jungkook himself, dont have to hide or feel outcasted by society for something they wanted 4 themselves.
