ZEROBASEONE member Ricky has recently caught the attention of fans after he was seen having the same tattoo design as K-pop icon G-Dragon. Ricky chose a meaningful tattoo - the archangel Michael with a shining face - the same design G-Dragon famously has on the back of his neck.

ZEROBASEONE's Ricky was always known to be a fan of G-Dragon as he often mentioned that G-Dragon was his role model in various interviews. Therefore, Ricky had opted to get the same design except on the side of his torso. The matching tattoo was spotted by fans and recently brought to the attention of a popular online community.

Translation: "G-Dragon's 'Black.' When I was in elementary school, I saw Sunbaenim perform this song on stage and was completely captivated. I thought, 'How can someone be this cool?' That led me to watch more of their performances, and I gradually became interested in K-pop. I think this song was the first to inspire me to become who I am today and made me want to be a singer."

Korean netizens shared their two cents on this matter as they discussed this matter in the popular online community. They commented:

"I heard that getting the exact same tattoo as someone else isn't considered good manners among people who get tattoos. Is that true?"

"Tattoo artists typically don't give someone the same design they've already used unless it's a very common design. It's considered bad manners."

"Are there even people who give the exact same tattoo as someone else? Someone else's design?"

"It doesn't seem like it's exactly the same; it's more like a similar style."

"But can the Archangel Michael design really be considered someone’s unique design?"

"Looking closely, the designs aren't completely identical. The details are different—like the wing details, leg posture, and they added something in the hand as well."

"Every time I see him, he's so handsome... Definitely, male idols from audition programs are really good-looking. I only knew about Seong Yu Jin from that group being handsome, but when I see posts about the other members, their visuals are intense too."

"That's interesting..."

"G-Dragon's tattoo on the back of his neck really is beautiful."

"Seeing this makes me want to get that tattoo too."

"Oh, I didn't know G-Dragon was his role model, haha. Somehow, having G-Dragon as a role model seems classic... It's cool that a foreigner says G-Dragon is their role model."

"If I were G-Dragon, I'd feel a bit proud, too. It's not even on his neck, so what's the big deal?"
