BTS‘s Jin recently shared a story about dreaming of re-enlisting after his discharge in June.
On August 26th, Harper‘s BAZAAR Korea released a video titled “Worldwide Handsome Reigns at BAZAAR, This is Great,” where Jin participated in an interview for their ‘Encyclopedia‘ segment.
When talking about his nickname, Jin recalled, “In elementary school, people usually made nicknames from your name, so I got called things like ‘Gimbap’ and ‘Kimchi.’ Later, in middle school, high school, and college, I was called ‘Kid.'”
As for the nickname ‘Worldwide Handsome,’ he laughed, saying, “It seems to have become more famous than I expected. I made it up in an awkward situation, but a lot of people started calling me that.”
Reflecting on his time as a torchbearer for the 2024 Paris Olympics in July, he shared, “A French fan said in an interview, ‘I’ve already waited over a year for you to finish your military service, so what’s another six hours?’ That really stuck with me.”
Jin, who considers himself a ‘tennis expert,’ humorously admitted, “Recently, I played tennis against an elementary school kid and lost 20-0. It was so embarrassing that I wondered if I should still call myself an expert. But honestly, there’s nothing else I’m better at than tennis. Among my friends, I’m still the best player.”
When asked if he ever dreams about re-enlisting after his military service, Jin confessed, “That’s a truly terrifying dream.” He added, “I did have that dream. I dreamt about being back in the military, but when I woke up, I forgot the details.”
He also mentioned, “Sometimes people ask me, ‘Do you remember this?’ but I’m not great at remembering things like that. So I hope people aren’t too disappointed if I don’t remember. I enjoy the present moment. But I do remember every moment I shared with ARMY.”
Finally, when asked what he thinks when he sees himself on camera, Jin confidently said, “I think I’m handsome. I like it. I’m really happy that I have a handsome face. Of course, there are people more handsome than me, but I’m satisfied with my face.”
