Jin is the oldest member of BTS while Jungkook is the youngest. Although his age gap between the members is not that big, Mr. Worldwide Handsome always takes his hyung role very seriously, especially with their golden maknae.
Jin and Jungkook have a five-year gap, but the 27-year-old singer and songwriter always treats the 22-year-old singer, songwriter, and record producer like his baby. He feeds him, takes care of him, plays with him, and a lot more. In fact, their bond is so tight that the younger one adapted some of Jin’s traits.
Here are 7 times Jungkook proved he was raised by Jin.
1. “Because of Jin Hyung”
Jin is known for his dad jokes and cheesy lines. And since he and Jungkook spend a lot of time together, the golden maknae is slowly morphing into Jin.
“Do you smell something burning?” Jungkook asked Jimin. The older BTS member then turned around to check if something is burning. All of a sudden Jungkook said, “My heart is burning.” (Watch the clip here).
When Jimin asked what happened to Jungkook, the younger one said, “Because of Jin hyung.” (Watch the clip here).
2. How to eat cheese
Jin loves food so much that he has a segment on VLive called “Eat Jin.” In one of his food journeys, Jin tackled a very stretchy cheese pull. Instead of cutting it with his teeth, he kept pulling. (Watch the clip here).
On a separate occasion, Jungkook also struggled with cheese while eating his pizza. And just like Jin, he also kept pulling the cheese instead of biting into it. (Watch the clip here).
3. Rules Schmules
Jin probably gave their hairstylist a heart attack when he cut his hair by himself. (Watch the clip here). Jungkook then dyed half of his hair pink in one of the episodes of Bon Voyage. (Watch the clip here).
4. The pouty kiss
At the end of their “Boy With Love” performances, one member would turn around and look at the camera. While the other members just smiled, Jin and Jungkook both did a pouty kiss which the former is famously known for. (Watch the clips here and here).
5. Blowing a kiss
Every time Jin sees a camera pointing at him, he always blows a kiss at it. (Watch the clip here). This habit seems to have rubbed off on Jungkook. (Watch the clip here).
6. Acting extra
Both Jin and Jungkook dropped on the floor in separate concerts just to keep fans entertained. (Watch the clips here and here).
7. Selca
Jin previously demonstrated that low angles can create a good selfie. (Watch the clip here). Of course, Jungkook had to do the same. (Watch the clip here).
