At present, BTS is known as a global music group with a huge fortune, can buy anything they want and receive admiration. However, before having a good life like today, they also had to go through a difficult time.

At the time of BTS's debut, Big Hit Music was just a small company while carrying a huge debt, so their living conditions were not good. The members of the group had to live together in an old dormitory, sharing frugal meals, even without meat.

If you are an ARMY from the first day, you will not be able to forget the moment when Jin wanted to make rice cake soup for BTS members on the occasion of the New Year but did not have money to buy meat. It is worth mentioning that half of the ingre∂ιєnts were bought with money "sponsored" by Jin's brother.

Although those days have pαѕѕed, fans still cannot forget every precious memory during that time. In particular, Jin recently went viral with the anecdote of "stealing his mother's expensive pot" when the old story was brought back to social networks.

Specifically, at the time when BTS had no money because they had just debuted, Jin - the youngest son of a wealthy family "stole" many household items to bring to the group's dormitory to cook for the members. The orange pot below is a "historical witness" of one of the oldest brother's "hacking" incidents.

This pot belongs to the Le Creuset household appliance brand, with a selling price of 574,000 won after discount, the original price of this pot is 820,000 won.

Besides the pot, stew pot - scoop - plates - spoons - salt - monay for the meal was also "stolen" by Jin from his mother's kitchen with deep remorse when mentioning that: "I'm here to rob everything after all. Mom I'm sorry. I love you". 

The post recalling this anecdote quickly went viral on X with 4.3 million views, attracting thousands of humorous comments from fans:

- Kim Seokjin my man being rich even before joining BTS you know, with his family having farm and businesses. and now he is a ceo of his own company, as a part time job aside from his main job of being an idol but still crossing finger he could side line as an actor soon

- if I took my home's best cookware trust my *ss would be spared bc no one uses the good dishes anyway

- It's ѕєχier when it's revealed like this without showing off…From debut, saying stuff like 'I'm actually a chaebol but gave everything up to become an idol even though it’s hard' just gives off a weird ‘commoner sympathy’ vibe and creates backlash. Like, you're a chaebol and you're still trying to take fangirls’ money with that fierce attitude?

- he was stealing his moms LE CREUSET?????? oh he loved those boys

- Seriously people are now going after the pot jin stole from his mom for bangtan

- seokjin used to steal LE CREUSETS from his mother to feed the tannies in their dorm ohmygod....

- Le Creuset is like the Hermès of cookware, so if you buy one, it lasts a lifetime… He's actually from a chaebol family

- seokjinnie’s mom is better than mine. my mom would have stopped talking to me for months if i stole a cooking set,worth at least one lakh,to cook for my friends/roommates.

- He grew up in an environment where he lacked nothing, and then went on to join BTS… That's impressive, especially when you think about the public opinion and atmosphere back then

- Back then, the only thing that made it obvious Kim Seokjin came from a wealthy family was the Le Creuset pot he clearly brought from home — the one he used to cook for the members in that tiny dorm. I want to cry hard

- Seokjin even had his own car — a Mini Cooper — and he used to give the younger members rides to schoo

- The hard days are over. How happy they are as they have what they worked for.

- He really loves kids. That's why BTS is always 7

- He had to take that pot because there probably wasn't a cheaper pot in the house. Oh my Seokjinnie, so cute
