Fun Facts About BTS’s Jin That Will Make You Smile Like He Does

Kim Seokjin, known worldwide as Jin of BTS, is often recognized for his stunning visuals, his hilarious sense of humor, and his role as the “Worldwide Handsome” hyung. But beneath the glitz, glam, and laughter, Jin is a multi-faceted artist, a deep thinker, and a kind soul with more layers than his collection of luxury pajamas. Whether you fell in love with his vocals, his jokes, or his shoulders (yes, we’re going there), here’s a full list of fun facts to show just how special Jin really is.

1. He was scouted for his visuals — seriously

Jin was literally recruited on the street because of how handsome he is. A BigHit staff member spotted him as he was getting off a bus and thought he was an actor. At that time, Jin had no singing or dancing experience — he was an acting major, not a trainee! But his charm and work ethic made him debut-ready.

2. He studied acting before joining BTS

Jin majored in acting at Konkuk University, one of South Korea’s top art schools. Even while training as an idol, he stayed committed to his studies and graduated. His polished stage presence and expressive music videos definitely show off his actor instincts.

3. “Worldwide Handsome” is a self-proclaimed — but absolutely accurate — title

Jin jokingly introduced himself as “Worldwide Handsome” during interviews, and it stuck because… well, look at him. What started as a joke turned into a meme, a title, and a global brand. But don’t get it twisted — Jin’s beauty isn’t just skin deep.

4. He cooks like a five-star chef

Jin’s love for food is legendary, but what’s even more impressive is his ability to cook it. Whether it’s steaks, pasta, or Korean classics, he’s known for whipping up meals for the members. His YouTube segment “Eat Jin” was iconic — part ASMR, part mukbang, part chaos.

5. He’s a gaming enthusiast

Jin is a proud gamer, often playing RPGs and PC games in his downtime. He’s also very competitive — just ask the other members who have gone up against him in video games or Run BTS challenges. He’s even appeared in special gaming content, like when he played MapleStory with staff and fans.

6. His voice is powerful and deeply emotional

Though sometimes underrated compared to the main vocalists, Jin’s voice is a treasure. He has a wide vocal range, with a clear, emotional tone that shines in songs like “Epiphany,” “Abyss,” “Moon,” and “The Astronaut.” His ability to convey longing and warmth with his voice is truly special.

7. He’s the king of dad jokes and chaos

Jin’s sense of humor is a national treasure. He’s known for delivering punny jokes, often followed by a proud clap and silence from the other members. His comedic timing is gold, and his confidence in his own jokes makes them ten times funnier. It’s chaotic, it’s awkward, and it’s so Jin.

8. He’s incredibly humble despite being gorgeous and talented

Despite being a visual center, Jin is one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever see. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and often downplays his achievements. He’s quick to praise others and shy about compliments, showing his sweet and sincere nature.

9. He cries easily and feels deeply

While he tries to act like the tough hyung, Jin is soft-hearted. He’s cried on camera during concerts, when members received awards, or during emotional speeches. His tears come from empathy and gratitude — and they always hit ARMYs right in the heart.

10. He’s closest with his brother

Jin has a close relationship with his older brother, Kim Seokjung, who owns a restaurant with Jin’s help. Their banter and business ventures are adorable — Jin once joked that his brother used him for marketing purposes, but he clearly supports him lovingly.

11. He once bought all the BTS members birthday gifts with his own money

Jin is known to go above and beyond for the people he cares about. He once prepared personal, thoughtful birthday gifts for each BTS member, tailored to their hobbies. That attention to detail and effort speaks volumes about his generous heart.

12. He’s not afraid to look silly

From wearing sunglasses upside down to turning into a “flying eomma” on stage, Jin embraces the ridiculous. He believes that making people laugh is worth any embarrassment, and that confidence in not taking himself seriously is a huge part of his charm.

13. His shoulders are famously broad

Let’s be honest — Jin’s shoulders have their own fanbase. Measuring nearly 60 cm across, his broad frame has been admired by members and stylists alike. He once joked that he didn’t need wings to be an angel — because his shoulders were already wide enough.

14. He’s a social butterfly

Jin gets along with everyone. From idol friends like BTOB’s Eunkwang and HIGHLIGHT’s Doojoon to actors and athletes, he’s often seen chatting and laughing with others. He has a natural warmth that draws people in — a real extroverted energy in the best way.

15. He released a Coldplay-collab single before enlistment

Before heading to military service, Jin released the single “The Astronaut” — a gift to ARMY, co-written by Coldplay’s Chris Martin. The song is a touching love letter to fans, full of emotion and celestial vibes, and showed how deeply Jin wanted to stay connected during his absence.

16. He once took ARMYs out for pizza

In a now-legendary moment, Jin bought pizza for fans waiting outside a music show and personally handed it out. This spontaneous gesture showed just how thoughtful and caring he is — not to mention completely iconic.

17. He’s a licensed diver

Yes, you read that right! Jin got certified in scuba diving and often shares his love for the ocean. He’s talked about how peaceful it feels to be underwater, and it fits his introspective, dreamy side perfectly.

18. He’s a loyal and protective hyung

While he often jokes around, Jin takes his hyung role seriously. He’s the first to check on the younger members, step in when someone’s upset, or take the lead during awkward moments. He balances maturity and playfulness beautifully.

19. He’s been open about his insecurities

In his self-penned song “Abyss,” Jin shared his struggles with self-doubt and burnout. The fact that someone so beloved still grapples with self-worth shows his humanity and vulnerability — and helps fans feel less alone in their own struggles.

20. He’s a source of comfort and joy for ARMY

From his cheerful birthday V-Lives to emotional concert speeches, Jin has always made ARMY feel seen and loved. He brings lightness when things are heavy, offers strength when fans feel weak, and somehow makes everyone feel like a cherished friend.

Bonus: His absence is deeply felt, and his return is highly anticipated

While Jin is currently serving in the military, ARMYs continue to celebrate him through his music, old videos, and endless memes. We miss his laugh, his voice, and even his chaotic jokes — but his presence still lingers in every corner of the fandom.

From goofy V-Lives and dad jokes to heartfelt lyrics and quiet acts of love, Jin is more than just a handsome face. He’s a gifted artist, a loving hyung, and a person who brings joy wherever he goes. He reminds us that it’s okay to be both silly and serious, beautiful and humble — and most of all, always kind.

Whether you’re a longtime Jin stan or just discovering his charm, one thing’s clear: Kim Seokjin is a treasure.
