Amid all the photos and clips being posted from soundcheck, netizens saw that on Jin’s neck, which was exposed, there was a mark. Unsurprisingly, ARMYs had the funniest reactions, with many thinking it was a hickey as the next is usually the placement, and many joking about who could’ve done it, including many mentions of the other BTS members.
