If fans remember, before enlisting, Jin went to meet the traditional ḳöŕệän liquor-making expert - Park Rok Dam. After that, the K-pop star and the Korean expert decided to create Jin's own alcohol brand together.
To date, Jin's wine has been completed and he has distributed his exclusive wine to "special people" after registering the brand. Therefore, fans were very curious about the people who received Jin's wine because they were definitely the people he was extremely close to and loved the most.
Below are some names on the list of people who received alcohol from Jin, some others are also rumored by fans:
Not long ago, the traditional ḳöŕệän liquor-making expert - Park Rok Dam - who owns "Jiranjigyo(지란지교)," one of the most well-known traditional liquor to ḳöŕệän public, shared about Jin creating his own wine brand. This comes from the fact that he wants to brew a delicious wine under the guidance of the expert.
However, in Korea, you will not be able to distribute or give away alcohol to anyone without trademark registration. So Jin created his own brand so he could share the wine he brewed with family and friends. Since that time, fans have been looking forward to his achievements.
Finally, in recent times, Jin's wine seems to have been completed and he has given wine to many celebrities he loves. The first person to show off the bottle of wine that Jin gave to his fans was j-hope, when he was on his military vacation. j-hope posted a priceless gift that Jin gave him on Instagram, making ARMYs crave it.
Then ARMYs found out Park Seo Ham - who trained with Jin at Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Entertainment 10 years ago also had received one bottle. He wrote on Instagram with the photo of it that: "Seokjinie hyung gave me "honey jar of butterfly(나비의 꿀단지)! Thank you~~~~~".
Most recently, Park Myung-soo said in his radio show that he also was given one by Jin. Along with that, many celebrities also shared bottles of wine for "the special people" that they received from Jin like Myung Wook, Lee Jin Hyung, Master Park Rodam, Chef Lee Yeonbok, Lee Sangyeob. Even Jin's manager Song Hobum just received one from Jin and made a cute post on IG: “Thank you. Hyung's liver is still okay lol I will drink it well. # It's a gift from afar.”
According to Park Myung Soo, Jin only made 30 bottles during his vacation. So the competition is tough and real. Who gets the winning gift and who gets to be one of the special people of Jin. Accordingly, fans speculated that SUGA, Bang PD were also 2 of the 30 people honored to receive Jin's wine. It means 11/30 his special people were revealed.
Meanwhile, BTS members who have just enlisted in the army such as RM, Jimin, Jungkook and V will probably have to wait a little longer to receive these bottles of wine because they do not have a vacation to return home yet. Fans hope that on the day when all 7 BTS members have the opportunity to meet each other, they can enjoy this special bottle of wine together.
It is known that Jin's wine brand is called “Honey Jar of Butterfly”. Master Park Rok Dam once shared that this type of soju is aged in oak barrels so it has the scent and flavor of oak, similar to whiskey. Jin's wine brand is not just an ordinary wine brand but it has been thoroughly verified and managed by the master (master Park Rok Dam).
Specifically, on Jin's alcohol bottle label, there is word "flames in the water(물에 가둔 불)". It is symbolizes "Park Rokdam's style(박록담류)". Among the traditional liquor made by the master's disciple, only alcohol that has been recognized for its taste by the master can be inscribed on the label. It means that Seokjin's alcohol has been recognized by Master Park Rokdam.
Obviously, Jin's wine is not only expensive for its quality but also priceless because it is an exclusive product and very few people have the opportunity to enjoy it. ARMYs feel jealous of the people receiving it:
- Make it global please. Fans also want it too, Jin-nim
- Can someone please distribute it here in the Philippines.. I'd buy it..
- I'm excited for Jin. BTS members are the ones who get special products from CEO Jin first
- Jin would make a FORTUNE! If he sell it, ARMY will buy it.
- OMG, our talented Seokjinie, I also want to try it, wish that Hobie can share details about this
- Aww that's my man and his idea, creativity, his love and respect towards the people, I love the unique way & the gesture of Sergeant Jin, Captain Korea Jin's expressing by offering/gifting the stuffs! 'Honey Jar of Butterfly' Made by Jin. proud of him and miss him so much
- The anxiety is rising for those who still haven't received theirs
