At the BTS Festa 2022 dinner, the members made a collective decision to get matching ‘7’ tattoos. Jimin also joined in and got the ink on the inside of his finger. However, during a recent live broadcast, he shared that his original plan to have the tattoo visible while holding a mic didn’t quite work out due to the small size of his hands. In his own words, “I wanted it here so that you’d be able to see it when I hold the mic when I sing, but because my hands are really small, you can’t really see it. you have to use a thinner mic to see it.”
