On December 4, BTS' Jungkook captivated fans all over the world with his electrifying performances on the well-known Japanese music show CDTV LIVE LIVE. In one of his last performances, before his upcoming mandatory military duty enrollment on December 12, the singer displayed his vocal skills and stage presence while performing heartfelt renditions of Seven and Standing Next To You.
Further, fans were also genuinely moved by his emotional speech, which left a lasting effect on them. However, during his speech at the CDTV LIVE, the Seven singer was seen without any facial piercings. The idol's fans, aka ARMYs, immediately stormed to social media and wrote "he looks so 2019 here."
In addition to his lip, eyebrow, and ear piercings, the BTS maknae has donned a variety of ear piercings throughout the years, which accentuated his edgy charm. Thus, fans were surprised to see the singer without any jewelry, except for an ear cuff.
While fans think Jungkook is attractive regardless of his piercings, many noted that his innocent charms are more noticeable without them, as the singer's new look reminded them of his younger self.
