A Korean tattoo has been discovered on the back of an Italian female gymnast competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, drawing attention.
According to British media outlet Sportskeeda on the 29th (local time), during the preliminary round of the women’s team event for artistic gymnastics held the day before, the tattoo on the back of Italian athlete Elisa Iorio (21) caught the eye.
On Iorio’s back is the phrase “Love Yourself” engraved in Korean. This is a Korean translation of BTS’ album “LOVE YOURSELF.”
The heart shape engraved just above Iorio’s Korean tattoo can also be found on the cover of the album ‘LOVE YOURSELF: 結 ANSWER’.
Iorio also wrote “Love yourself” in Korean on his Instagram profile along with a purple heart. Purple is BTS’s symbolic color.
He also posted a picture of himself making a heart with his hands in front of a sunset along with the words “Borahae.” “Borahae” is a new word created by BTS member V and means, “Just like the last color of the rainbow is purple, let’s trust each other and love each other until the end.”
Sportskeeda reported that, “‘ARMY’ (BTS fandom name) around the world are sending their support to Iorio.” In fact, BTS fans from each country left encouraging comments on his Instagram, such as, “I’m so proud of you” and “I wish you good luck.” 안전놀이터
