On the 26th, social media and online communities reported that BTS Jin and Baek Jong-won participated in the traditional wine competition of the '12th Korea Heritage Liquor Awards' held by the office in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do. Jin's appearance as a special judge made everyone very excited.
Not only that, even when attending the event, Jin's personality made others constantly appreciate and love him. One of the staff supporting at the ceremony told a story about Jin's behavior during the awards ceremony to show how delicate his behavior is.
What a guy with a golden personality that always makes ARMYs proud:
'The Korea Heritage Liquor Awards' is a national traditional wine competition aimed at discovering and popularizing traditional alcohol. This year, a contest was held with the traditional rice wine of 'Super Oning', a brand of agricultural products and synthetic specialties in Pyeongtaek City.
About 180 products were received from all over the country and passed the preliminary round to advance to the final round, and 60 products from three types of rice wine, takju and soju were evaluated and awarded. In it, the jury includes Chef Back Jong-won - who has closely followed the show since the very first days.
Plus, Jin is said to have shined as a special judge. However, according to what Jin announced after the awards ceremony, it seems that his evaluation was not reflected in the score. He explained on his Instagram account: "Special judge at the Korea Heritage Liquor Awards (My scores aren’t reflected, since I don’t know anything, I asked them to not count them)"
This also makes many people respect his decision as Jin has been very subtle in letting people with precise expertise in the field evaluate and make the best choice.
Not only scoring points for this great act of him, while participating in the tasting and grading of the wine, Jin made the atmosphere of the ceremony fun. After drinking the glasses of wine, he revealed that he felt a little drunk.
One of the staff serving guests at the ceremony advised him that he could spit it out when he tasted it. But soon Jin immediately refused to do it, saying it was disrespectful to Korean artisans and traditional liquor.
He replied that: "How dare I do that to our traditional wine?"
The staff was then impressed with Jin's response and said that she never knew when she would be able to serve Jin next. She also immediately told this story to her friend who is an ARMY and then the story went viral on social media.
Just one sentence shows how delicate and respectful Jin is for the country's traditions. Even before appearing at 'The Korea Heritage Liquor Awards', Jin also did a series of episodes called "The Drunken Truth" on BTS's official YouTube channel. In this content, Jin made his own wine with Baek Jong Won as a project to promote interest in traditional alcohol.
It can be seen that wherever he is, Jin's personality always shines. Like all the other members of BTS, they always respect the traditions and history of the country and try their best to promote the traditional culture and develop the country.
