Fans rejoice as BTS Jungkook’s iconic under-lip ‘choco chip’ mole is safe and healthy.
BTS fans had a moment of panic recently when they thought Jungkook’s iconic under-lip mole might have disappeared. Known for his distinct visuals, tattoos, and piercings, the Golden Maknae’s charm has always included his little “choco chip” mole—a small but adored facial feature.
The mole became the center of attention during Jungkook’s unannounced Weverse live on August 30. The broadcast, which drew over 17.7 million viewers in under two hours, saw the singer giving fans a tour of his new apartment, performing songs, and even exercising with V joining in. He also revealed new ear and under-lip piercings, sparking a mix of awe and concern among ARMYs. Many feared that his signature mole might have been obscured or removed.
Why ARMYs Went Into a Frenzy
When Jungkook returned for another live on September 1 to celebrate his birthday, fans were relieved to see the mole intact. Social media quickly exploded with posts confirming “Jungkook’s mole is safe and alive.” Close-up screenshots circulated widely, and fans expressed both relief and admiration for their idol’s unchanged feature. One fan wrote on X, “Jungkook’s mole is still visible. Choco chip mole found healthy, safe, and looking very pretty under his lips.” Another added, “Jungkook’s mole is safe and sound… glad we didn’t overreact.”
The mole frenzy highlighted just how deeply ARMYs notice even the tiniest details about their favorite idol. Jungkook’s under-lip spot has become more than a beauty mark; it’s a symbol of familiarity and connection for fans worldwide, showing how even minor features can become cultural talking points in fandoms.
Jungkook’s Busy Life Post-Military
After completing his mandatory military service in June 2025, Jungkook has been immersed in preparations for BTS’ comeback album, set for release in 2026. Alongside fellow members V, RM, Suga, Jimin, J-Hope, and Jin, he’s been balancing music, media appearances, and fan engagement. Even with all the work and attention, small details like his “choco chip” mole continue to charm ARMYs and keep them emotionally invested.
This mole incident serves as a light-hearted reminder of how personal and passionate BTS fans are. A tiny mark on Jungkook’s face sparked conversations, memes, and viral trends, proving that in the world of K-pop fandom, every detail matters—and every “choco chip” counts.
