“Jin, Take Off Your Jacket!”… BTS Jin Reacts to Fan Banner at Munich Concert, Reveals Sleeveless Shoulders, Sending Fans into Euphoria
BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) member Jin (Kim Seokjin) has garnered enthusiastic global fan reactions after being captured on video shedding his jacket to reveal a sleeveless top during a concert in Munich, Germany, in response to a fan’s banner.
On July 11th (local time), during the BTS Arirang World Tour concert held at Munich’s Allianz Arena, a fan displayed a large banner that read: “OPEN THE JACKET, KIM SEOKJIN! / IT’S ALREADY HOT ENOUGH IN EUROPE!” The banner featured both English and Korean text. When Jin spotted this banner mid-performance and actually took off his jacket to reveal his sleeveless attire, the 75,000-seat stadium erupted in cheers.
The fan who held the banner posted a photo of themselves in tears on their SNS, exclaiming, “HE SAW MY BANNER. WTH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH @jin.” At the concert venue, surrounding fans who witnessed the moment were also seen crying, laughing, and embracing each other.
Social media accounts quickly reacted. @IndoForJin commented, “Seokjin saw the banner! Munich is exploding for Jin!” while @seokjinfile posted a short but powerful “OMG Jin.” @1204_roro playfully requested, “Everyone, please submit your sleeveless Kim Seokjin photos from today,” drawing laughter from fans. One fan remarked, “It’s so touching how Jin immediately responds to a single fan’s banner in front of 75,000 people,” and another applauded, “Kudos to the courageous fan who prepared the ‘Jin, take off your jacket’ banner.”
BTS held concerts on July 11th and 12th at the Allianz Arena, becoming the first Asian artist to record two consecutive sold-out shows at the venue. This German performance marked their first in eight years since Berlin in 2018, and their inaugural visit to Munich. Previously, at a London concert, Jin made headlines by nodding in response to a fan’s banner that asked, “Shall we go fishing?” Jin’s consistent warm reactions to fan banners continue to generate buzz throughout this European tour.
Even after the concert, the images of “sleeveless Jin” continued to trend on social media. Comments like “Europe was already hot enough, but Jin made it even hotter” received thousands of likes, resonating deeply with fans.
In South Korean online communities like TheQoo, reactions were equally fervent, particularly given that Jin, generally known for being conservative about revealing skin, made such a bold and unexpected move in response to a fan’s banner.
