Jin in BTS
The eldest member and the group's mood-maker. Jin's warm, powerful vocals anchor BTS's most emotional ballads, while his legendary dad jokes and shameless self-confidence ('Worldwide Handsome') make him the fandom's favorite comedian. His 2024 solo album 'Happy' was a love letter to ARMY after his military service.
