Many fans know that Jin's journey to becoming a BTS member was not easy, both literally and figuratively. Before being recruited by Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music, Jin also caught the hawk eyes of many other entertainment companies, including SM.
However, in the end, he became a Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music trainee and debuted with BTS. But there is a reason for Jin's choice and it comes from his personality. While many fans find Jin's story of debuting with BTS adorable, many people silently thank that it was thanks to Jin's personality that he debuted with the group.
Below is the story of that day of trainee Jin - who chose Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music instead of SM and debuted with BTS:
Many people have judged that Jin's appearance really matches SM's standards. In fact, because of his perfect appearance since he was a high school student, Jin often catches the eye of recruitment staff of many entertainment companies. In particular, SM staff also approached and offered a casting invitation to the oldest member of BTS.
The story of Jin refusing SM Entertainment's invitation to join Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music is also legendary among idol internship stories. But few people know the fact that Jin refused after arriving. SM Entertainment audition rather than running away when approached by their staff on the street.
Jin revealed in an interview that he still went to the audition by invitation. He said, "Actually I did" and even SM Entertainment recognized his talent at that time: "and they contacted me again". But at that time, Jin dreamed of becoming an actor, not an idol, so he did not continue to accept SM's offer and deeper down, he had "doubts" during that process.
When the host asked him, "Are you scared?", Jin confessed that it was true that he thought these people (SM Ent) were cheating on him. It is worth mentioning that SM Entertainment emerged as one of the largest entertainment companies in kσrєα with artists such as BoA, DBSK, HOT,... at that time. SM Entertainment may have opened many doors for Jin's career, but with his extremely suspicious nature, Jin thinks it's all a lie. Jin was very wary of anyone approaching him!
And in the end SM Entertainment couldn't get him because of Jin's skepticism and distrust. It seems like a random story but in fact it is fate that has arranged for Jin and BTS to go on the same path. Luckily, Jin's doubts made him the perfect piece of BTS today!
Although he did not become an idol of SM Entertainment, Jin is still an idol loved and admired by many people and has a brilliantly successful career. It's funny, but we have to say that Jin's skepticism is our luck!
