This comes just days after BTS completed their 'Permission To Dance' concert in Las Vegas. The K-pop band has returned to their home country South-Korea. However, before taking off from the United States, BTS' V took to social media to reveal that he had been injured during the concert. The injury appeared to be minor in the photos shared by the band member. However, the extent of the bruise isn't confirmed officially by the group's management agency yet. A wound covered in blood was clearly visible in the photo shared by him.
