Jin recently returned from Argentina, where he made his emotional solo debut with his new song “The Astronaut” at Coldplay‘s concert, stealing the hearts of fans who attended the show. Jin mesmerized fans with his performance of “The Astronaut” at Coldplay’s 2022-2023 Music of the Spheres World Tour concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He accompanied by the famous British rock band that co-wrote the song specifically for Jin, appeared to have the time of his life on stage.
Specially, in this trip, Jin brought a few mementos from home for his performance abroad. He brought his new plush character, Wootteo, hilariously explaining to fans that his usual travel companion, BT21 RJ, was “too famous” to accompany him this time.
He also brought his beloved pink microphone, which was repaired just in time for his special solo debut performance.
Eagle-eyed ARMYs noticed another special item that Jin brought from Korea: the shirt he wore during one of his rehearsals with Coldplay. It's not the most luxurious item in his designer wardrobe but it is a very meaningful piece and shows Jin's great personality.
This is an Off-White designer plaid shirt with a basic design. It has a mid-range price that falls around $504.
This is the shirt he first wore in April 2019 while filming for KBS's Music Bank. At the time, BTS was promoting their single "Boy With Luv".
That's not the only reason his fashion choices are so emotional. Because SUGA also wore an Off-White shirt in 2019 while filming episode 75 of Run! BTS. Both members seem to have shared the same love for the shirt.
Returning to the main topic, what impressed ARMYs with this shirt is that Jin has shown how much he uses fashion effectively and protects the environment. Although Jin expressed in a recent interview with GQ that he spends his hard-earned money on designer clothes, the fact that he frequently reuses many of the items he wears proves that he He's still a thrifty king. "My fashion philosophy is that if you spent money on clothes, make sure it has a big brand logo on it. Because then it’s clear that you spent money." he said.
Jin further showcased this fact when he was spotted wearing the shirt again at Incheon Airport on October 31. This time, he paired it with the same, or a similar, Louis Vuitton bag that he was spotted wearing with the shirt in April 2019.
Fans praise Jin's sustainable fashion choices, as he is known to be a thoughtful recycler of many of his clothing items. Jin even revealed that he used LV sandals for 2-3 years, even carrying more than his wallet. He tries to make full use of the fashion things he buys instead of wearing them once and then throwing them away.
With the money Jin had, he had a lot of options but Jin chose to buy items that could be used over and over and use them carefully and for a long time. It is a very nice act when fashion is being said to destroy the environment with a large amount of textile waste discharged into the environment every year.
