If you ever wondered why BTS’s Jin is beloved by millions, here’s your latest reminder: he’s out here gifting fans raincoats, towels, and SEOM cards just for showing up to support him. Because of course, even after military service, Jin is still setting the bar impossibly high for what it means to care about your fans.
On June 30, Jin wrapped up his “Run Seokjin” offline fan tour at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, meeting 1,000 ARMYs in person for the first time since being discharged from the military. But in true Jin fashion, he didn’t just show up, wave, and leave. Nope. Worldwide Handsome decided that if fans were going to stand outside waiting for him in the heat or rain, they were going to leave with more than just blurry phone photos and tears in their eyes.
Each attending fan received a raincoat, a towel, and a SEOM game card personally prepared by Jin. The raincoat was practical, the towel was for dabbing away tears (or sweat from screaming too hard, let’s be real), and the SEOM card was a sweet nod to BTS’s mobile game, giving ARMYs a tangible piece of Jin to hold onto.
Fans, naturally, lost their minds in the best way possible, flooding social media with posts like “so precious,” “only Jin would think of this,” and “he’s truly the standard.” Because let’s be honest: who else is going to think, “Ah, my fans might get rained on while waiting for me, better buy them all raincoats”? Exactly.
It wasn’t just about the gifts, though. Jin’s gesture reflects the relationship BTS has built with ARMY over the past decade—one rooted in mutual respect, gratitude, and genuine care. This wasn’t a flex or a PR stunt; it was Jin being Jin, ensuring his fans felt seen and valued for their effort and love.
And while some might think, “It’s just a raincoat,” we know it’s so much more. It’s a reminder that BTS’s connection with ARMY is different. It’s not transactional, it’s family-level care, and it’s why fans will stand in the rain, heat, or cold just to see them, knowing that BTS will always think of them in return.
The “Run Seokjin” tour itself was a celebration of Jin’s return to civilian life and a promise of more to come. Now, with his discharge complete and his warm re-entry into ARMY’s embrace, Jin is proving that while he may have completed his duty to his country, his duty to ARMY continues, and he takes it just as seriously.
So here’s to Jin, the man who shows up with raincoats when the sky looks grey, who makes sure his fans are comfortable while waiting for him, and who reminds us why we chose BTS in the first place.
Welcome back, Jin. We missed you, and thank you for reminding us, once again, that you’re not just Worldwide Handsome—you’re Worldwide Kind.
