Fans and netizens often only see part of their idols' personalities through reality shows, but it's impossible to know what they really are like behind the camera. For this reason, many people still doubt whether famous idols are really as good as what people see?
If you ask this question about Jin, the story of his middle school friend below will give you the most accurate answer. A friend of Jin expressed gratitude for the Kpop superstar's actions and concern for him when they were in school because thanks to that, he is now able to have a successful career.
Through the story and the friend's gratitude for Jin, fans love and are even more proud of the Kpop superstar's good personality:
Jin once shared about how he hasn't had too many close friends since becoming famous because many people find it difficult to be friends with superstars. Even if Jin hasn't changed and always wants to maintain a good relationship with them, others still feel pressured. Therefore, he always cherishes and sincerely expresses his friendship to the people he cares about to eliminate that gap.
Specificially, in an episode of Disney+ BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, fans learned about Jin's group of non-celebrity friends for the first time. Besides the BTS members, it turns out that Jin also has other great friends and they have maintained good friendships over the past 10 years.
Jin himself also shared about their precious friendship, saying, "We meet up about six times a week when we can. About once or twice a week when we’re too busy. When I’m out working, they’ll hang out at my house playing video games and greet me when I get home. When I leave the house, they hang out among themselves and leave. I know a few celebrities, and they all say friends like that are rare. I’m glad and relieved".
After this video was spread on SNS, one of Jin's close friends reminisced about when they were in high school with him. He shared how Jin helped him go from being someone who often skipped school to being an oriental doctor now. He expressed his gratitude for the sincere friendship Jin gave him.
He wrote: "Seokjinah. You played with Gunhan and Geunsoo every day. And you're still together now! LOL. I remember when I went to Chungmaek Math Academy in Myeongil-dong, and when the four of us were in the same clαѕѕ, you were the only one who did your homework. I was thankful that you took care of me because I was the only one from another school.
I skipped the academy every day, so you waited for me in front of the school gate. I escaped over the mountain behind the school to avoid you. At that time, I was preparing for a celebrity, and you were a student who stu∂ιєd hard. Amazingly, it's changed like this. I stopped preparing for celebrity and stu∂ιєd for a long time. That's how I became an oriental doctor now! I feel good that all my friends back then went well. I hope you always have a long run!".
From this story, fans see soмєтнing clear about Jin's human nature. From an early age, he was always exemplary, hardworking and kind, becoming someone that everyone loved. Now, when he became famous, he continued to show his good qualities, making his fans extremely proud.
Talking about Jin, fans can't stop praising him:
- In кσяєα, oriental doctors, along with doctors and dentists, require the most difficult test scores. And a friend testified that Seokjin was only one sincere student who had been doing his homework at the math academy. lol
- Seokjin is the best friend you could ever have. He has been virtuous since a young age. That's why many great people who have met him love him. Also loved and well-respected in the military, holding the highest rank among the recruits
- He's always been a sweet friend. Even to people he's never seen. yes yes even in military. he maintain his lovely mind. so that reason every man fall in love with him!
- I'm so happy about these cute stories.
- I like this version of Jin. On screen, we mostly see him with people younger or older and he’s mostly in a pro mode. Seeing his relaxed self with his same age friends who grew up together is refreshing. It’s probably the closest to offcam jin we get to see.
- He values friendship over fame. “Faithful friends are hard to find.” – William Shakespeare
- A very sweet childhood memory shared by Seokjin’s high school friend
- is this k-drama? it's so heartwarming
- Seokjinie is really an angel, he has a pure and kind heart
