Tattoo Artist Denies Dating Rumors With BTS's Jungkook

Following Big Hit Entertainment’s statement denying BTS member Jungkook’s dating rumors, the woman swept up in the rumors has also spoken up.

On September 17, the tattoo artist shared the following post via Instagram:

I am absolutely not in a relationship with Jungkook.

I am posting this because of the words spreading online and the unfortunate situation of people causing misunderstandings by impersonating me.

I didn’t say anything because it was the obvious truth that people would not believe me, interpret [my words] as they wish, and that I would receive even harsher replies.

I would like to once again state that it is absolutely not true that I am dating Jungkook or that I tattooed my initials on him.

We are simply close friends, and I am very apologetic as it seems that fans were extremely hurt in addition to myself and people around me.

I will not say anything further.

I would just like to make it clear that I was not ignoring or disregarding everything.
