Today marks a truly special moment in the hearts of BTS fans around the world eight years since Kim Seokjin, affectionately known as Jin, was first introduced as a member of BTS. On this day eight years ago, BigHit Entertainment unveiled Jin’s teaser photo, giving the world its first official glimpse of the man who would soon become known as “Worldwide Handsome,” a nickname that fans and even the media have embraced with love and admiration.
As expected, fans all over the globe are celebrating this meaningful milestone in full force. Jin is currently trending at number three worldwide on social media, with over one hundred seven thousand tweets pouring in from ARMYs who are sharing emotional tributes, heartfelt stories, and expressions of deep appreciation for the vocalist. The hashtags #8YearsWithJin and #8YearsWithOurMoonJin are both trending in multiple countries, painting the timeline in soft tones of nostalgia, pride, and love for the BTS member who has grown so much over the years.
Jin’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. From his earliest days in BTS where he was often seen as the “visual” member to becoming a well-respected vocalist and performer in his own right, his growth is undeniable. Known for his steady, emotive vocals and his ability to bring warmth to any stage, Jin has touched millions of lives not just through music but through his personality, humor, and sincerity.
Fans are using this moment to reflect on the impact he has had on their lives. Messages of gratitude flood social media, with fans sharing how Jin’s strength, laughter, and songs helped them through difficult times. Many express how his consistent kindness and unwavering effort inspired them to keep going, chase their dreams, or simply feel seen. Whether it is his legendary dad jokes, his iconic “flying kiss” moments on stage, or his solo tracks like “Epiphany,” “Moon,” and “Abyss”—Jin has given ARMY so many cherished memories.
The trending hashtag #8YearsWithOurMoonJin especially pulls at the heartstrings, referring to Jin’s song “Moon,” in which he compares himself to the moon orbiting around ARMY, who are his Earth. The metaphor is both poetic and personal—perfectly encapsulating the deep emotional connection he shares with his fans.
Jin has shown time and again that he is more than a pretty face. Behind the visuals lies a man of depth, resilience, and surprising wisdom. He trained hard, overcame criticism, and carved out his space within the group through persistence and heart. As the oldest member, he has often been the silent pillar of BTS, bringing both calm and chaos with his endearing personality. Whether he is comforting the younger members with quiet support or making them laugh with over-the-top jokes, Jin’s presence in BTS is irreplaceable.
Fans have also been reminiscing over his many iconic moments the time he wore a handmade RJ costume just to cheer up fans, his endearing awkwardness in early interviews, the pink microphone he chose to reflect his charm, and the many times he stayed up late composing and writing songs to express himself in the truest way possible. Each memory is a testament to his dedication and love for ARMY.
This eight-year anniversary is also a reminder of how far BTS as a whole has come. From their humble beginnings to becoming global music icons, each member’s journey is interwoven with the others and Jin’s presence, humor, and emotional intelligence have helped shape the identity of BTS in unique and beautiful ways.
As ARMYs continue to share fanart, videos, and touching messages today, one thing is clear Jin is deeply loved, not just for what he does but for who he is. His laughter is infectious, his voice is healing, and his words carry meaning that stays with fans long after the music stops.
So here is to eight incredible years with Kim Seokjin. Here is to the boy who grew into a man we admire, who once shyly stood in front of a camera for a teaser photo and is now adored by millions across the globe. Happy anniversary, Jin. You are, and always will be, our moon. 🌕💜 #8YearsWithJin #8YearsWithOurMoonJin
