Once again, one member of BTS named J-Hope has made all the headlines, but not just on account of his brilliant performance. The rapper and dancer managed to catch the attention of fans during his ARIRANG World Tour at the stop in Munich thanks to his green bandana that had repeating 'Om' (ॐ) symbols printed on it. Soon enough, footage and photos of the performance were posted online, with Indian ARMY members excited about the spiritual symbolism in his attire. Though the rapper is famous for his unconventional clothing items, this particular piece of his attire became the topic of heated debates.
J-Hope's Green Bandana Steals the Spotlight
In the performance at Munich, J-Hope finished off his casual performance wear by tying a bandana of green color pattern on his head. It was not long before fans started pointing out that there were several Om symbols printed on the bandana along with flower and paisley patterns. Even though the bandana is readily available as a fashionable accessory, the presence of the religious symbol immediately grabbed the attention of Indian fans.
