Witnessing Jin's achievements, talents and personality, it can be said that it is not difficult for him to receive compliments. Even compliments for him can come up on a very regular basis because he deserves praise for what he's done.
However, there was one compliment that Jin always wanted to receive and even felt touched when he received it. It's also a compliment that makes him feel shy when he hears other people say that about him.
This was revealed on the recent Hal Myung Soo show that Jin was on:
It is not difficult to say that Jin in particular and BTS in general are very successful artists in Kpop. So looking at what they achieved, others couldn't help but praise them.
Jin is also praised for being a very confident person and doesn't try to appear modest but actually admits what he is. So he often doesn't feel shy about other people's compliments for him and BTS.
Recently Jin was a guest on the YouTube channel of comedian Park Myung Soo, Hal Myung Soo. The two kept fans entertained throughout their videos with their hilarious jokes and surprising chemistry as leaders in the entertainment industry.
As they began the interview, Jin showed how comfortable he was by gently calling Park Myung Soo during their tumultuous first meeting, where the industry veteran turned him down. a photo with BTS in 2014. Then, Park Myung Soo asked Jin why he chose to appear with Hal Myung Soo.
Like Big Hit Music very rarely let BTS participate in 3rd party programs or people who are not partners of the company. However, Jin touched the comedian by revealing that he wanted to meet him officially.
It must be said that Park Myung Soo's generation gap was quite large when he was the one who appeared on television in 1993, a year after Jin was born. Despite this, Park Myung Soo couldn't help praising the younger star, while acknowledging BTS's incredible global popularity.
He also couldn't help but praise Jin's unreal appearance. Park Myung Soo noted that Jin had a "celebrity aura" as soon as Jin nearly slipped out of his chair.
The two then shared a more serious moment when Park Myung Soo sincerely congratulated BTS on their unprecedented success, sharing that watching their popularity grow over the years. He said that: "You're very amazing. It's hard to do an excellent job like historically. You guys so amazing".
But one thing in particular, Jin was surprised and suddenly became shy by the unexpected compliment. He also shared that he was very touched by the compliment.
It sounds quite strange because perhaps people think that it is something that Jin hears often and is no longer strange. But then Jin explained that he doesn't usually become shy when complimented. There's one kind of compliment that confuses him, one that revolves around hard work.
Park Myung Soo asked why that was the case, and Jin shared that being praised for his hard work makes him feel like an “amazing person.” It's like he recognized Jin's ability and effort after a long and tiring journey to achieve the current results. That compliment makes him feel like he's truly achieved and officially recognized.
Jin truly shared that: "I'm weak over compliments like this. I'm usually don't get shy over compliments but...If you compliment my looks, it can confidently accept them. It makes me feel like I'm amazing person when I hear compliments like that..."
This also shows part of Jin's humble personality and skillful expression. Even when he is at the peak of his career and receiving more honors, praise for his hard work still makes him shy and emotional.
It's also one of the reasons why BTS and Jin have become as successful as they are today!
