Jin is the oldest BTS member, although he doesn’t often act like it. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter is one of the most playful members in the bunch.
He’s known for his dad jokes, describing himself as “Worldwide handsome,” and grabbing the opportunity to wink and blow kisses to the camera whenever it lands on him, and fans love every minute of it. But it seems that ARMYs are not the only ones who get excited when Jin makes his flirty movements.
On June 7 and 8, BTS performed in Paris as part of their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour. They gave fans many precious memories, including Suga‘s “caught in the rain” look, Jungkook‘s French serenade, and a flirty moment between Jin and Jimin.
During “Boy With Luv,” Jin makes everybody swoon when he sings, “come be my teacher.” Usually, Jin sings this line to ARMY, but this time he got his flirt on with Jimin instead.
The unexpected gesture made Jimin burst into laughter and covered his face with his arm. Even though the 23-year-old was flustered, he didn’t miss a beat. Jimin smoothly transitioned into the next part of the choreography while smiling the whole time.

Nobody can resist the Worldwide Handsome’s charms — not even his members. But how did Jin’s popular title start?
Jin previously revealed the roots of his nickname “worldwide handsome” and how it came to be. At a press conference for the 2017 BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour The Final concert on December 10, Jin introduced himself as “worldwide handsome.”
He went on to admit that the title was a self-designated one, saying, “I gave myself [the name] ‘worldwide handsome.’ It’s a nickname that I came up with during an interview. Even I find it a little embarrassing to say, but many people like it, although I’m not worldwide handsome.”
Even though Jin feels that the nickname is quite embarrassing, the BTS star has proven time and time again that the title perfectly suits him. It’s no secret that Jin’s appearance keeps going viral. He can make ARMYs lose their minds as he changes from being cute to sexy in just seconds.
In 2017, international fans noticed him and asked about who’s the “third one from the left” at Billboard Music Award. Even without any knowledge of BTS whatsoever, the viewers at home were quick to notice Jin's standout handsome looks on the red carpet, leading to hundreds of enamored tweets all highlighting the same member.
Amusingly, it wasn’t even the first time Jin caused a panic at an awards ceremony with his mere appearance. Back in 2015, at the MelOn Music Awards, Jin became known as the "car door guy" simply for looking good while getting out of a car.
