Jin, a member of BTS, enlisted for his obligatory military duty on December 13, 2022. Although fans have only seen a small portion of his life as a soldier, a recent post on the online forum Theqoo gave some comprehensive updates on his whereabouts and activities.
A post captioned "Pretty Jin Who Buys Us Food" started doing the rounds on social media on November 8, 2023. The original poster (OP) provided some information on the BTS member and purported to be a relative of one of the Epiphany singer's fellow soldiers.
According to the OP, their nephew, who had just finished serving in the military, disclosed that the BTS idol often buys meals for every member of his battalion.
As a result, fans poured their hearts out on X (formerly Twitter):
More specifically, they said that the vocalist of The Astronaut utilizes his earnings to purchase food for his younger comrades from food trucks on a weekend basis. By posting a picture of themselves at their nephew's graduation ceremony on the community page, the OP further demonstrated their legitimacy.
"My nephew, who was discharged yesterday, told me that when food trucks come on weekends, assistant instructor Kim Seokjin buys delicious food for everyone, about 15 portions. It seems like he eats with his fellow soldiers in the same unit, so he has been nicknamed ‘Pretty Jin Who Buys Us Food.’" (as reported by Koreaboo)
They continued by saying that because of The Astronaut singer's thoughtfulness, his fellow troops have given him the moniker "Pretty Jin Who Buys Us Food."
Fans lavish praise on BTS Jin for buying food every weekend for the younger soldiers of his battalion
In order to establish their legitimacy, OP further posted a picture of themselves at the completion ceremony. BTS member Kim Seokjin enlisted in the South Korean military to serve his mandatory conscription where every male in the country has to serve a necessary period of 18 to 24 months.
Hence, the BTS ARMY became emotional to know the dynamic between the Moon singer and his comrades.
As per their reported nephew, the Epiphany singer has been exercising more since he has gained some weight. Additionally, the singer is employed with the Fifth Infantry Division in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, as an adjunct instructor at the moment.
Additionally, he has attained the esteemed designation of "Special Class (Elite) Warrior," demonstrating his exceptional physical ability.
Meanwhile, the BTS fans took to social media and commented on the post of @Jiniya1204 and admired the BTS idol vehemently, while a few others independently tweeted on X (formerly Twitter):
In the meantime, on July 9, 2023, after a month-long hiatus, the Epiphany singer finally returned to social media and shared an unexpected statement. The BTS idol disclosed that he was commissioned as a Corporal in the armed forces rather sooner than expected.
