Well, the relationship between Jin and j-hope is of course very close, proven through more than a decade of being together. But even though they are as close as a family, Jin still has a hard time getting his favorite gift - soмєтнing he has wanted from j-hope for the past 7 years.
However, Jin seems to never give up on that idea and he really succeeded this past Christmas. During a live broadcast at the end of the year, he received the gift he wanted from j-hope in the most surprising way.
I bet many people have forgotten this gift but when you watch it again, you will definitely remember the anecdote from 7 years ago:
Talking about the closeness between Jin and j-hope, it is clear that there is no need to argue. The two also match each other in terms of humor and always make conversations full of laughter. Fans even wish to have a cute friendship or brotherly relationship like 2Seok.
Not only that, j-hope also always shows his generosity when giving birthday gifts to BTS's eldest brother. Surely you still remember j-hope once gave Sella Stool, created by Italian designers - Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1957, worth about 2.06 million KRW to Jin.
Obviously, money has never been a problem for j-hope and he can give any gift that Jin wants. But the truth is that there is a gift that Jin has asked for from j-hope for many years but j-hope has not been able to fulfill him. Just recently, Jin "won" it from j-hope by "stealing" it from him.
Specifically, it's a silver Audemars Piguet watch, which costs around $28,600 USD!
During the Weverse Live broadcast on Christmas 2024, j-hope and Jin had a crazy time decorating their Christmas tree. When he was about to complete his tree, Jin decided to add a personal piece of jewelry to it — a FRED Jewelry necklace! For this reason, j-hope also decided to add an Audemars Piguet watch to complete his own style.
Well, don't teach the rich how to spend their money! But it was this opportunity that helped Jin "steal" the luxury watch from j-hope. Right after exchanging trees, Jin took the watch and ran away!
j-hope panicked and chased after Jin. In the end, he got it back and Jin had to say: "I’m back since I’ll get caught anyway!"…and then j-hope did the same thing right after that with Jin's necklace! Jin almost chased him, but realized that a much better way to get revenge was to steal the watch again.
If you notice this watch, on Jin's birthday in 2018, 7 years ago, he asked j-hope for it. When his brother came to celebrate his birthday and wore the expensive watch on his wrist, Jin discovered it and told j-hope: "j-hope~ You are wearing my birthday gift (watch)". j-hope replied quickly: "No~no~no" in humorous way.
Hmm, maybe Jin never gave up on the idea of owning this watch. I believe Jin likes it not only because of its value but because it's j-hope's watch. Meanwhile, j-hope might be willing to buy Jin a similar one but can't give his brother this commemorative watch!
In the end, the 2Seok combination is always so chaotic and cute. It was great that we got to celebrate Christmas and New Year with them!
