Simon Pegg about working with BTS idol Jin

During the Instagram live session, Pegg said that he agreed with a fan's statement that he and Jin should work together on a Korean project. The star, who rose to fame with his work in the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy, also said that he would love to see the BTS idol in Squid Game Season 2.

Fans react to Simon Pegg's statement about BTS member Jin

Pegg's statement left fans excited as the ARMY has long awaited for Jin to debut as an actor. The BTS member got into Konkuk University with his acting skills, according to his fans. The year that Jin entered Konkuk University, around 2000, there was great competition to get into the university's acting course.

Fans revealed that he was one of the top 10 students and that he demonstrated high potential as an actor.

The ARMY, therefore, hopes that Jin will take Pegg's statement as a sign and plan his debut.

A few fans also mentioned that Jin had received multiple acting offers, but he hasn't accepted any so far.


Why do fans believe that BTS' Jin deserves an acting debut?

The first and biggest reason is Jin's eligibility. The 30-year-old star graduated with a Major in Acting in February 2017. A picture from his graduation ceremony was shared by BTS' handle on Twitter.

Time and again, Jin has portrayed his acting chops in different ways. From his performance in the music video of Epiphany to the way he carried out certain tasks on Run BTS, he has repeatedly captured the hearts of fans with his talent.

Jin also proved that he would be a great addition to a historic drama. This was when he had appeared in a hanbok at the airport. This was when the group had to fly to Hong Kong for the Mnet Asian Music Awards in 2017.

It was a punishment for Jin as he had come last in one of the tasks on Run BTS. The moment, however, was enjoyed by fans globally.

Another incident that fans believe showcased Jin's acting talent was the narration of the Love Yourself highlight reel. All members of the band had to perform and Jin's narration had held the highlight together.

It is believed that the voiceover style of work is something that Jin might excel in due to the way he emoted the dialog for the highlight.
