Who is Jin from BTS? What is he really like? Some new fans have had a hard time figuring it out!
On X (formerly Twitter), ARMYs trended the hashtag #ArmyConfessionTime to share the funniest misconceptions they used to have about BTS. Here are 10 “incorrect” facts about Jin!
1. Jin Hit Entertainment is real

Fact: “Jin Hit Entertainment” began as a joke, back in 2015, but fiction became fact (somewhat) in 2020, when Jin became a shareholder in HYBE, along with the rest of his members.
2. Jin’s dad owns Big Hit Music
I really thought BigHit was owned by Jin’s father🙈🙉 #ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/wmjtUE9SSS

Fact: Jin comes from a family of entrepreneurs, but his father doesn’t own BTS’s agency. It was founded by Bang Si Hyuk.
3. Jin’s dad owns…everything?
I thought JIN’S dad was the ceo of Samsung when I first joined #ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/LkBKjrBLIR

Fact: BTS have been brand ambassadors for Samsung, but Jin’s father was not involved in that — as far as we know!
4. He’s related to the other Kims
When I decided to know BTS I thought RM, V, and Jin are brothers because they have the surname Kim I don’t know that time that it was normal for Korean to have the same surnames.#ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/oINK269sS6

Fact: Although they share the same family name, they are not related!
5. He’s the most serious member of the group
#SEOKJIN My love💜#ArmyConfessionTime
When I joined the fandom,I first thought that Jin was a serious and matured man!🤷😂💜 pic.twitter.com/FtVze8Th5e

Fact: Although Jin knows when the work and when to play, most fans probably wouldn’t describe Jin as the “serious” one.
6. He isn’t the oldest member
When I first saw them, I really thought Jin wasn’t the oldest.#ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/JkedVIcgZj

Fact: Jin often acts like the maknae, but he really is the oldest member of BTS. He is, however, the youngest member of his family and has an older brother.
7. He’s Jungkook’s older brother
When I was a new army I thought Jin and Jungkook are siblings cuz they’re really look alike to me😭#ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/Hx7FoAKMZz

Fact: Jin and Jungkook do act like siblings, but they aren’t related.
8. He is part of the rap line
When i was a baby Army i thought jin is the rapper among the members,beacouse i saw the video of him,bickering with the members and his rap is so Good😭#ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/slrl2GVFIb

Fact: Jin can rant so quickly that it sounds like he’s rapping, but he is not part of the rap line — yet.
9. Jin and Jungkook are interchangeable
so apparently most of us had the same issue as baby armys of not being able to tell jin and jungkook apart #ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/Envc0mvOCn

Fact: Many fans confused Jin for Jungkook and vice versa, even though they are five years apart.
10. “Jin” is short for “Jimin”
I thought Jin is a nickname for Jimin. Namjoon and rap monster were two different people #ArmyConfessionTime pic.twitter.com/wAVMmlofYN

Fact: “Jimin” and “Jin” might sound similar, but they are two completely different members.
