Now, Jin has been in the army for more than 1 month and because of that, the nostalgia for Jin from ARMYs is even more. Fan groups have made many trips down the old memory lane on online communities to find old memories with Jin to fill in his nostalgia.
In it, there are photos and videos from Jin's debut days that have attracted a lot of attention. One of them is a video a few months after Jin's debut, his worried expression when he was afraid that it wasn't his fan made many ARMYs feel pity.
Jin is really an idol that everyone who sees him must love but there were times when he felt so self-conscious:
Everyone knows that the early years of BTS's debut were filled with difficulties. Guys who are only in their 20s face a lot of pressure to become famous, especially Jin as he is much older than other guys (although still considered young).
At the time of his debut, Jin was not the most prominent name in the group despite taking on the visual position, Jungkook or V seemed to be the more attractive name. Therefore, there was an outdoor fan meeting moment that captured Jin's sneaky expression mixed with anxiety when he couldn't believe that a fan who was photographing him was his fan.
Looking at Jin from 2013, you can see how pure and innocent he looks when he greets fans. His innocent eyes and a little shyness along with his cute face. Really nostalgic for these moments.
In particular, there is a scene that has touched the hearts of fans. It was during the group's fan meeting later in the month of their debut that Jin looked into the camera of a fansite master but wasn't sure if they were his fansite or not.
In the video, Jin was seen glancing at the camera six times with trepidation and apprehension before happily waving and realizing that they were his own fansites. It's only been a few months since his debut, his expression that has changed from worry to excitement has moved fans as they can see how happy he is when he found there was a fansite master took pictures and videos of him. Maybe in his heart he thinks he doesn't have that many fans.
Fans who saw these photos couldn't help but fall in love with Jin all over again:
- “Seeing his debut photos shows just how cute and lovable he is, but it also makes me a bit sad.”
- “He is so lovely.”
- “Thank you to the fan site master who took picture of this lovably baby.”
- “He is such a warm person. He always remembered where I stood and told me that he read my letter. His kind words are what make me continue to be a fan. He is really a great person.”
- "Years later he didn't know he would become a grammy nominated artist together with his members and of course, become one and only Mr. Worldwide Handsome, you know. Seokjin, I wasn't there before but I am in now for the long haul. Fighting Seokjinnie"
- "He looks like a real life Disney prince, so breathtakingly beautiful and innocent and adorable"
- "I don’t know why I crying so hard when I see him he’s such an angel I want to protect him"
- "I'm quite grateful for the earliest ARMY and Seokjinnies."
- "my heart skips a beat. he's so gorgeous. look at those expressions on his face"
By now, Jin has been sought everywhere when he arrives and even has millions of fans waiting for him to complete his military service and return. He will no longer have to doubt or worry about how much he is loved!
