Sometimes he’s car door guy, other times he’s “Worldwide Handsome.” Jin is one of the seven members of BTS. He appears on songs like “Life Goes On,” “Moon,” and “Boy With Luv,” often making ARMYs laugh with jokes and funky hairstyles.

BTS’ Jin sometimes sports silly hairstyles ‘because ARMY likes it’

Worldwide Handsome Jin is the oldest member of this K-pop group. Still, he loves to have fun with the other BTS members, joking around during V Lives and at concerts.

Jin reacted to BTS’ return to the stage during his Weverse Magazine interview. It was an understandably emotional moment for both BTS and ARMYs, especially after BigHit Entertainment canceled the Map of the Soul tour of 2020.

“When we were about to do the first concert in LA, I kept saying to the other members, ‘What if I cry while we’re up there,’” Jin said. “I tried not to become overwhelmed by that kind of sentimentality, but there were times during the concert when one of the other members would be speaking or something and I just stared out at ARMY.”

Jin explained ARMY is part of the reason why he sported a silly hairstyle at the Permission to Dance on Stage concerts. For one performance he added a flower to his poof hair. Another night he included a plush of RJ, his BT21 character.

“I do that because ARMY likes it,” Jin mentioned. “Even though it only lasts a really brief moment, they find it fun. If they’re enjoying it, I do, too. I mean, it’s rare that just one person laughs alone. We all laugh together. I was looking for that kind of mutual exchange, too.”

The BTS members appeared in several live performances post-COVID. In between rehearsing for their Las Vegas residency, this K-pop group performed at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

“But I couldn’t do it in Las Vegas,” he added. “We were so busy getting ready that I ran out of material so I finally understood how the concert writers feel: Man, what am I going to do? I’ll have to think of something brand new when we end up doing our next tour.”
