Jin joined Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music when he was already a freshman at university. At Jin's age and having pursued the acting industry for many years, the decision to give up to become an idol is clearly not an easy one.

But Jin recently revealed a fact that surprised fans about his decision that year. Turns out, Jin didn't give up his acting career, but Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ very cleverly scammed him into joining the company without thinking he would become an idol.

When Jin exposed this trick, fans laughed but also hoped that when he returned, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music would fulfill the promise they made to him 10 years ago:

For Kpop fans, there are many reasons why Jin becomes an attractive idol in their eyes such as his attractive voice, handsome appearance, eternal love for food and sometimes even jokes. uncle. However, there is still another talent, making non-fans even can't stop talking about when they mention Jin, it is his acting ability.

During previous years, Jin was always included by Kpop fans in the list of idols whose talents were wasted without filming. There was even a time when Jin was eagerly nominated by fans for the male lead role in the movie adapted from the novel True Beauty with actor Cha Eunwoo. Later, when there was news that Jin would participate in a movie with actor Kim Nam Gil, fans waited a lot but in the end, it was just an inaccurate rumor. That's why fans have always wanted Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ to let "actor Kim Seok Jin" debut.

Not only that, there is a quite funny anecdote related to Jin's acting career as well as his idol career that fans only now know about. It was told in detail for the first time by Jin in the recently released book - BTS Beyond The Story. It turned out that, at that time, Jin did not give up on his acting career but was attracted by the promises that Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music staff told him at the time of inviting him to join the company. 

Specifically, Jin said that Bł₲ Ⱨł₮'s staff told him about how idols act in movies and achieve success, which made him agree to join the company. Jin recalled: "I was fooled (laughs). Jin laughs, thinking back to his casting at Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Entertainment in the spring of 2011. What the worker in charge of signing him had promised him back then technically hasn’t come to fruition. Jin continues. "Look at how idols these days go into acting, we’ll let you become an actor eventually." That’s how they convinced me. They were very persuasive."

Remember, Jin once talked about how wary he was when SM Ent and Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Ent staff approached him in the past because of his star appearance. While he was afraid of being scammed by SM Ent's staff and refused their invitation, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Ent's staff seemed to be more experienced and good at "scamming", which made him nod in agreement. But anyway, luckily Jin was persuaded by that invitation so we have the Worldwide Handsome we have today.

In addition, Jin also shared that he did not feel sorry for his choice because "[BTS members] are always all so hardworking. I watch and learn from you guys to work harder." and "If I became an actor, I may not have been responsible because I’d be alone. I might not even have worked hard". But when Jin is discharged from the army next year, fans still hope he can try to be an actor - the career he always pursued even while working as an idol over the years:

- But in reality also his agency who throw away their promises. Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ must do it now

- That's how they convinced Jin to join bts,they didn't allow jin to become actor or just try to become an extra. I hope he will be an actor the next year

- Now that they are in their solo activities, i can now manifest Actor Jin without anyone policing.

- I hope he can act after being discharged from the army, I'm really looking forward to actor Jin

- He's clearly very good at acting, it's a shame if he can't carry a movie

- Jin deserves to act and become an actor, it was his original dream

- Even though Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ tricked him into becoming a member of BTS, my heart нυятs, he wanted to act.

- Please do it when you come back, we want to see you as an actor
