If you follow Jin, the male idol's acting talent is not surprising at all! Before becoming a trainee of Big Hit, the eldest member of BTS almost pursued an acting career when he was accepted and stu∂ιєd at the Department of Theater and Cinema at Konkuk University.
It is known that in the year Jin auditioned, there were 2012 other candidates but only 10 were selected, which means the male idol had to "compete" with 201 people to enter the university.
He is also highly appreciated by his friends who are current professional actors such as: Go Kyung Pyo, Lee Yi Kyung or Lee Won Geun, ... but until now Jin has never debuted to the au∂ιєnce as an actor. Although Jin has never participated in any film project, his acting ability has been shown through many MVs, short films or promotional videos of BTS.
Notably, recently, Jin has been the center of attention in the new teaser for the Run Jin episode next week. In the teaser released on April 29, fans were surprised when he showed a completely different side of himself.
Jin wore a black suit and got into a “fιgнт” with many other fierce people. The notable point is that at the beginning of the teaser, Jin looked funny while looking around but in the next seconds, his facial expressions were completely sharp and savage.
This seems to be the first time fans witnessed his acting sкιℓℓs directly on a variety show. But just through a few short seconds of the teaser, netizens also went crazy over his visuals and acting:
- He was originally trained to be an actor and graduated from the Department of Theater and Film at Konkuk University
- He is so handsome… his face must be very small
- Everyone knows this but he is so handsome
- Jin's expressions are so flexible. He can turn into a wolf and turn back into a hamster
- He looks like a statue. I'm jealous of how handsome Jin is
- Jin, we want to see you act more and more
- Now, this is what we are all waiting yet we are all ѕнσ¢кs
- ohmygod im so exciteddd! he really said “y’all wanna see me act? here d*mn.”
- Jin was like army do you wanna see me acting here you go see it in run jin…
- The no. of times I've watched this in the past 20mins is too crazy to share
Meanwhile, Jin's acting ability has been recognized for many years by not only the public but also directors and actors.
Jin received praise from the director of the Coway commercial video when he showed professionalism in acting. Jin didn't even make any NG (not good) cuts and did everything smoothly on his first try.
Jin also made waves on social media with his top-notch acting in the MV “On” when BTS released it in 2020. Jin was also suggested to audition for the main role in the K-drama “True Beauty” at that time because he was completely similar to the main character in the original.
Jin’s diction, pronunciation, and expressions were highly appreciated, showing his extremely professional acting qualities. Through such excellent performances, many people also hope that Big Hit will soon consider letting Jin act in movies, giving him the opportunity to show more diverse aspects of himself.
