Like many others, Jin also went to school and made many friends before he graduated. During this time he was still known as a popular idol but it was his personality that made people love him even more at school.
Some students who had the opportunity to interact with Jin at school recounted their school memories with him. Many of them even revealed that they became his fans after chatting with him.
As many people know, Jin majored in acting at Konkuk University in 2012 and then he was cast on the street by Big Hit and debuted with BTS in 2013. By 2017, Jin was excellently graduated from his major despite his busy schedule and was a famous star.
In a forum of the university where Jin attended, a topic about the experiences of students who took the same course as Jin suddenly came to the attention. Many students who were in the same class as Jin have said that by the time they studied together, Jin was already well known for his sense of humor and kindness.
Some even admitted they became fans of Jin after meeting him in a lecture hall. They weren't even in the same class, just happened to meet him, but the way he talked made them feel convinced by him.
They also acknowledged that even though he couldn't attend classes regularly, Jin still completed his studies and graduated smoothly. Jin's hard work and talent shows how hard he works!
Some also said that Jin was so sincere and spoke with such conviction that this student immediately became a fan… plus, he had wicked dad jokes:
- Wow I saw him do that on the live app... awesome, so you see him at school and on stage, it must be so cool... I'm so jealous... Don't you get nervous seeing him in public? I would be shaking
- I became his fan after I spoke to him in class. How do I say this? He speaks sincerely and from the first conversation you can feel his conviction. You can tell he doesn't speak without thought and he doesn't judge others. He is trying to pursue happiness... that's the feeling I got from speaking to him.
Jin jokes around with students who asked for his autograph…:
- They don't stare at him ㅋㅋㅋ a student is a student and an idol is just an idol. In discussions Jin would speak quietly and thoughtfully... actually, students wouldn't ask for his autograph during lecture hall, they would do it quietly! It's like this.... Person slides paper to Jin.... Jin would say, "I'm not Jin...". Person: "I didn't say anything..." Jin waits...."Can you sign for me?". Jin would joke: "Only if you become gwatop!" (best grade in the class)
And suddenly burst out laughing at his own jokes!
- OMG I'm so dead right now... He's a really righteous person... He's polite too, right? You really became a fan while you spoke to him... Really... I'm so jealous... I really want to hear him speak nicely too... This is why I like Seokjin, he seems like such a decent person ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- But he's also funny... he really speaks well and then laughs at himself, alone ?? People would ask why is he like that? And they would reply "he just does that sometimes" It's like that ㅋㅋㅋ
Although at that time, Jin was already a star in the eyes of his peers, he always seemed to keep himself humble and friendly. It is this amazing personality of his that makes his friends his lifelong fans!
