Recent sightings of Jin have been circulating online, along with photos of the global idol visiting one of his favorite restaurants.
Jin was recently spotted at Yoojung Restaurant, a beloved eatery the BTS members frequented during their trainee days. According to reports from international fans, Jin was seen at the popular restaurant during regular operating hours, bringing a pleasant surprise to all the fans who were there.
One fan shared about this encounter on social media and explained, “A Taiwanese ARMY met Seokjin (Jin) at the Yoojung Restaurant. They went around 11:30 and there weren’t that many people. Past around 12, more people started coming and suddenly they heard the aunt say ‘Oh My!!!’ and went into the kitchen and someone called ‘Uh-Muh-Nee (Mother)!!!’” *Uh-Muh-Nee (어머니) is a preferred term to show respect when calling an elderly woman who you are acquainted with.
The fan continued, “They looked and Seokjin and his manager were there on the left of where they were sitting. The auntie came out and asked how they were doing. The staff told everyone jokingly, ‘Don’t take photos since he looks ugly right now,’ because they just came to eat.”
The fan who saw Seokjin further gave an account of their encounter and explained, “He was right next to me, and Seokjin’s skin was so good and was very handsome.” The fan explained that Jin ordered Pork Stone Pot Bibimbap and also a pork belly dish. The fan added, “Seokjin was wearing the blue tracksuit that he was wearing in the photo he posted a few days ago. I was so moved to see Seokjin visit the restaurant to eat and see the auntie when he has no filming or schedule, so I posted this.”
