On Sunday, August 6, SUGA revealed his matching “7” tattoo with his BTS members during his last show at The Final Agust D Tour, and many fans, both at the concert arena and those watching at home, freaked out since it was kept hidden from fans for a long time. While the tattoo was initially revealed during the concert, SUGA also officially showed it to all his fans during his Weverse live stream that was broadcast soon after the concert.
Since many fans were still on their way home when the idol went live, people were streaming during his live session while traveling. One such ARMY uploaded a video of them screaming in the Subway Line 9 when SUGA revealed his tattoo, alarming co-passengers in the train. The screams, eventually mixed with rumors of an attack on the train, led to a commotion and ruckus, which caused several injuries.

SUGA’s tattoo reveal at The Final Agust D Tour and Weverse Live
On Sunday, August 6, SUGA hosted the last show of three-day concert, The Final Agust D Tour, in Seoul, at the KSPO Dome. Out of the several exciting things that were rolled out that day, like RM’s Strange performance, j-hope and Jin’s special attendance, and more, one more thrilling incident occurred.
The rapper revealed his matching tattoo with the BTS members, “7” on stage, which was placed on his then-injured shoulder.
Given that both the shoulder accident and the “7” tattoo holds a lot of meaning for the idol and his fandom, many people freaked out at the arena as he revealed the same. SUGA also showed the tattoo to all his fans online through his Weverse live stream that was broadcast shortly after the concert ended. As soon as fans got the notification, they joined the live stream immediately from wherever they were.
An ARMY uploads a reaction video to SUGA’s tattoo reveal
Of the several ARMYs who watched it in public spaces, one fan, who was traveling through the subway, uploaded a video of them screaming at the idol’s tattoo reveal. It was a group of foreign fans who were returning home from the concert venue, and the video revealed that the group’s scream startled many people in the subway.
The scream alarmed the people around them, and this incident, mixed with rumors of a possible knife attack or gas leak, soon caused panic among passengers. The commotion snowballed into a bunch of people running around, and before the train could reach the nearest station, Sinnonhyun, seven people were injured, and the subway was immediately evacuated with a crowd of people in panic.
K-media outlets’ reports of the cause of Seoul Subway commotion
There were several reports sent to the media regarding a sudden scream and also a strange gas smell in the train. However, this was slightly misrepresented in K-media outlets, where reports narrated that ARMYs and their reaction to SUGA’s tattoo reveal alone caused the commotion, which was later proved to be not completely true.

Hence, please take legal actions against this malicious media IMMEDIATELY. pic.twitter.com/6XngfgWuBa twitter.com/allkpop/status…
Since the chaos took place after the group of foreigner fans left the train, the commotion wasn’t caused entirely by them alone but resulted as a chain reaction to the screams and the rumors that were being passed around.
