Many years ago, Jin's nickname "Mother of BTS" was very popular among fandom because he was responsible for managing and taking care of his too younger brothers at that time. Especially Jungkook, who was only a 15-16 year old child at that time.
Jin played the role of the eldest brother, like a string connecting the members and harmonizing the relationship between them. Of course, managing 6 teenager boys at the age where their egos are very huge is not easy.
That was also the time when the life-long anecdotes were created. Now, when looking back at that time, the members can humorously tell their fans.
One of them is the secret that Jin kept hidden since the group's debut. Even after more than 10 years, the secret that Jin kept has not been fully revealed just because he himself did not want to hurt the other members in the group.
Specifically, the story takes place at the time when BTS members lived together in a cramped dormitory of Big Hit Entertainment. Conflicts in lifestyle occurred between the young men, who had many different personalities when they first lived together.
The members were very sensitive about hygiene and cleaning because all 7 of them lived in the same room.
To solve that problem, they decided to make a hygiene rule when living together. In which, anyone who violated it would have to pay a fine. The fine was 1000 KRW each time.
Although the amount of money was not much, for young people at that age, high self-esteem would make them feel frustrated and embarrαѕѕed if they were fined. Surprisingly, since the rule was implemented, almost no one violated it.
However, later when the story was revealed, Jin confessed that it was not that no member violated it. The truth is that Jin, who observed the members and noted the violators at that time, hid their identities.
He did find members who did not clean and disinfect well but did not immediately expose their mistakes. Even after 10 years when this story was brought up again, Jin still decided to never announce who had to pay the fine.
The members only knew that Jin's phone still had a list of violators at that time. There were three people listed and the amount they had to pay was 18,000 KRW.
Through that story, it can be seen that Jin used his kindness, patience, and empathy to nurture the members' good character as well as build bonds in their friendship. He let the members adapt and change gradually while living together rather than focusing on criticizing their mistakes.
Through this story, we can truly see how BTS has grown together over the past 10 years. Therefore, there is no difficulty or situation that can make the members lose their common bond.
