On September 23 (local time in Milan), Jin officially appeared at the Gucci show during Milan Fashion Week. From the very moment he entered the event, the idol set the venue “on fire” with his dashing yet daring look: a wнιтe silk shirt with multiple buttons undone, paired with elegant black trousers and a Gucci signature belt.
Jin captured the spotlight from the entrance hall all the way into the main event space, becoming the center of attention for the media and sparking lively discussion among fans on social media.
While most fans “fяєαкed out” over Jin’s handsome appearance and hot physique, they also raised their “defensive instincts” throughout the event. They kept a close eye on anyone—especially members of the opposite ѕєχ—who appeared near Worldwide Handsome, which led to a surprising drama.
A viral clip on Twitter and TikTok showed Jin sitting next to someone with shoulder-length hair, a slightly thin build, and wearing dark sunglαѕѕes. The two laughed and chatted quite closely, instantly sending ARMYs into a frenzy. Many fans αѕѕumed it was a beautiful young woman and immediately expressed jealousy with comments like: “Pretty lady please move, it’s my turn,” “WHO IS THAT WITH MY HUSBAND,” “You lucky girl,” and “All I can see is my man’s ears are red as helll”...
However, the jealousy didn’t last long before it turned into a hilarious misunderstanding. Other fans pointed out that the person in the video wasn’t a girl at all but an 18-year-old boy—αмєяι¢αn rapper Nettspend. Perhaps due to his gender-neutral fashion style, many fans who were unfamiliar with the rapper mistakenly thought he was a female celebrity, creating a comical “jealousy moment.”
To clarify further, fans shared another video capturing the conversation between Jin and Nett. In the clip, Nett said, “We’re best friends.” Jin, surprised, repeated, “We’re best friends?” Nett continued, “We’re best friends today…” (the ending is inaudible), and Jin laughed: “Ahaha okay, we’re best friends.”
Another noteworthy point is that Nettspend’s real name is Gunner Shepardson, born in 2007—15 years younger than Jin—yet he called Jin “friend” in a friendly manner. Still, ARMYs acknowledged that given Jin’s presence, this was understandable. The moment of them bonding like new friends at the event also delighted fans.
Meanwhile, Nettspend is an emerging talent in the U.S. rap scene. He started uploading music to SoundCloud in 2022, gained attention through a viral snippet of “Drankdrankdrank” on Twitter at the end of 2023, and released his first mixtape, Bad Ass Fcking Kid*, in December 2024.
In addition to music, he is also active in fashion. Notably, Nettspend recently walked the runway for Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week this past March.
After the truth came to light, the fan community couldn’t hide their embarrαѕѕment at having “jumped to conclusions” so quickly. Many left humorous comments:
