BTS’s Jin recently reunited with his ‘Daehwangjang Kianjang’ co-stars at the ongoing BTS World Tour, delighting fans and showcasing cherished friendships.
BTS, featuring the globally acclaimed Jin, successfully staged the second night of their ‘Arirang’ World Tour at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on the 11th. Known as both the ‘Visual King’ and ‘Vocal King’, Jin delivered a mesmerizing performance. His flawless vocals and elegant stage presence earned him a new moniker, ‘Siren’, as he effortlessly captivated the sold-out audience with his fantastic stage.
Attending the concert that day were Kian84 and Ji Ye-eun, who previously worked with Jin on the popular variety show ‘Daehwangjang Kianjang’, demonstrating their close friendship. Kian84 later shared a photo of the trio—Jin, Ji Ye-eun, and himself—on his Instagram, humorously remarking, “Thanks for the invitation. Next to Seokjin, my face looks like a hotteok (Korean pancake);”.
Jin’s versatile talent shines beyond his primary music career, extending to advertisements and successful variety shows. He made his Netflix Original debut last April with ‘Daehwangjang Kianjang’ Season 1. This groundbreaking show not only secured the #1 spot on ‘Korea’s TOP 10 series’ but also achieved a remarkable 6th place on Netflix’s Global TOP 10 series (Non-English category) from April 7-13, 2025. This historic achievement marked the first time a Korean Netflix Original variety content, not a reality survival show, entered the global charts, writing a new chapter in K-variety history.
Further solidifying his widespread appeal, Jin was also honored with the Global Netizen Popular Star Award in the K-SHOW Male category at the prestigious ‘2025 FUNdex AWARDS’.
Code Kunst, a fellow cast member with Kian84 on the variety show ‘I Live Alone’, added to the online buzz by commenting on the photo with a captivating GIF depicting a brilliant light shining on the trio. This comment deeply resonated with netizens, sparking further engagement.
Fans responded with immense enthusiasm, sharing comments like: “Jin’s face is so small, and his shoulders are so broad – he’s unrealistically handsome!”, “Kian’s hotteok face, lol, so cute!”, “Jin looks great in glasses. So cool!”, “Even the KianJang producers came!”, and “I love the KianJang family so much. I hope Jin and Ye-eun both return for Season 3 to show off their sibling chemistry again.” These reactions highlight the deep affection fans have for Jin’s visuals, his friendships, and the ‘Daehwangjang Kianjang’ series.
