Fans and netizens often only see a part of an idol’s personality through reality programs, but they cannot know their true selves behind the camera. Therefore, many people still question whether famous idols are really as good as what everyone sees.
If you doubt Jin’s character, his high school friends will give the most accurate answer. In fact, one of Jin’s closest friends even expressed his gratitude because, thanks to the male idol, he has the good career he has today.
Most fans often see Jin spending a lot of time with the BTS members as his closest friends. He himself has also shared that he does not have many close friends since becoming famous. Even if he himself has not changed, many people find it difficult to be friends with superstars.
However, in reality, there are many celebrities who have become Jin’s friends and cherish him. Outside the entertainment industry, Jin also has another group of close friends who have maintained a good friendship for more than a decade, since their school days.
Jin himself also shared about their precious friendship: "We meet up about six times a week when we can. About once or twice a week when we’re too busy. When I’m out working, they’ll hang out at my house playing video games and greet me when I get home. When I leave the house, they hang out among themselves and leave. I know a few celebrities, and they all say friends like that are rare. I’m glad and relieved".
In particular, speaking about Jin as his close friend, one of them wrote a post on SNS sharing about how the male idol helped him go from someone who frequently skipped school to becoming the Oriental doctor he is today. He expressed deep gratitude for the sincere friendship that Jin had given him.
He wrote: "Seokjinah. You played with Gunhan and Geunsoo every day. And you're still together now! LOL. I remember when I went to Chungmaek Math Academy in Myeongil-dong, and when the four of us were in the same clαѕѕ, you were the only one who did your homework. I was thankful that you took care of me because I was the only one from another school.
I skipped the academy every day, so you waited for me in front of the school gate. I escaped over the mountain behind the school to avoid you. At that time, I was preparing for a celebrity, and you were a student who stu∂ιєd hard. Amazingly, it's changed like this. I stopped preparing for celebrity and stu∂ιєd for a long time. That's how I became an oriental doctor now! I feel good that all my friends back then went well. I hope you always have a long run!".
Through this story, fans clearly see Jin’s true nature. Since childhood, he has always been exemplary, hardworking, and kind. What is even more admirable is that he used these good qualities to help his friends, bringing positive influence. That is why there is no one who does not love him!
Even at the present time, when he has become a global superstar, Jin still always shows this positive personality and inspires his fans. Fans are proud of Jin as well as express their thoughts when hearing the story:
- In кσяєα, oriental doctors, along with doctors and dentists, require the most difficult test scores. And a friend testified that Seokjin was only one sincere student who had been doing his homework at the math academy. lol
- Seokjin is the best friend you could ever have. He has been virtuous since a young age. That's why many great people who have met him love him. Also loved and well-respected in the military, holding the highest rank among the recruits
- He's always been a sweet friend. Even to people he's never seen. yes yes even in military. he maintain his lovely mind. so that reason every man fall in love with him!
- I'm so happy about these cute stories.
- I like this version of Jin. On screen, we mostly see him with people younger or older and he’s mostly in a pro mode. Seeing his relaxed self with his same age friends who grew up together is refreshing. It’s probably the closest to offcam jin we get to see.
- He values friendship over fame. “Faithful friends are hard to find.” – William Shakespeare
- A very sweet childhood memory shared by Seokjin’s high school friend
- is this k-drama? it's so heartwarming
- Seokjinie is really an angel, he has a pure and kind heart
