Jin, the eldest member of BTS, is known for a variety of things, including his great voice, Worldwide Handsome looks, love of food, and cringe-worthy dad jokes. Jin, on the other hand, would be a natural actor. Look no further if you need evidence (or simply want more Jin stuff in your life).
1. He earned a bachelor’s degree in acting.
Jin made ARMYs everywhere happy when he tweeted this photo of himself in his graduation cap and gown in February of 2017. He earned a degree in acting and the arts from Konkuk University, which is even more impressive given how busy the group was at the time with performances and tours. His commitment to acting is already commendable, and he hasn’t even started yet.
2. In this hanbok, he made the news.
Despite the fact that it has nothing to do with acting, this traditional Korean attire made headlines for a reason! Jin wore it to the airport as a punishment for finishing last in one of their “Run! BTS” episodes during their journey to Hong Kong for the 2017 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and it quickly became a worldwide hit. ARMYs interpreted it as confirmation that Jin should star in a historical drama, and I couldn’t agree with them more!
3. He didn’t burst out laughing throughout this scene.
The other members of BTS got quite… creative with their self-made drama script that Jin and fellow vocalist Jimin had to perform as a punishment for losing the episode’s games. It’s impressive enough that Jin managed to get through the scene’s lines without breaking down as the other members laughed in the background, but he did it with the grace and good looks of a K-drama lead.
4. His performance in the music video for “Epiphany”
This music video for Jin’s solo track from the group’s album “LOVE YOURSELF ANSWER” is a must-see if you haven’t already. Aside from the excellent vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Jin’s impeccable acting makes this piece read more like a short film than a music video. In the great scheme of BTS music videos, it’s a relatively simple set-up, yet Jin’s poignant performance manages to make every moment magical.
5. His narration of the highlight reel “Love Yourself”
If you’re new to the world of BTS or if you somehow missed it, this is a must-see. The members all gave outstanding acting performances in this highlight reel, which is almost entirely devoid of conversation save for Jin’s narration. His smooth voice is ideal for voiceover work, and the emotion he injects into the words demonstrates that he doesn’t even need to be seen to tell a tale beautifully.
