This seasoned actor has starred in a variety of K-Dramas, films, and web series, including The Innocent Man (2012), A Little Love Never Hurts (2013), and Once Again (2015). (2020). It’s unknown when he and Jin met, although they recently golfed together.
2. Lee Won Geun
In the 2012 K-Drama Moon Embracing the Sun, Lee Won Geun made his acting debut. Since then, he’s starred in over a dozen films and television shows, including Cheer Up! (2015) and One the Woman (2015). (2021). Jin and he had been pals since before BTS debuted in 2013.
3. Yoo Seung Ho
Yoo Seung Ho began his acting career as a kid in the film The Way Home (2002). I’m Not a Robot (2017) and My Strange Hero (2017) were two of his most memorable parts (2018). As a present for his friend, Jin sent a coffee truck to the set of the Memorist in 2020.
