On October 17, 2024, BTS fans had much to celebrate, especially when Jin, the group's eldest member, won hearts worldwide with a thoughtful gesture. During J-Hope's official discharge from his 18-month military service, the eldest BTS member stepped in to assist a female reporter while J-Hope addressed the media.
As the rapper addressed reporters gathered outside his military unit, a female journalist found herself kneeling in front of the idol to hold multiple microphones. Observing the situation, Jin, who had come to welcome J-Hope with a grand bouquet, quickly offered his assistance.
He knelt beside her and held the microphones, urging the reporter to step aside to avoid being on camera, especially as photographers were capturing the moment.

While the reporter initially hesitated, he insisted, reassuring her that it would be better for her.
Fans took to social media to applaud the artist's thoughtful gesture, with many praising him as a "true gentleman" for his kindness and awareness. A user on X, @theJINPRlNT wrote:
"A WOMAN WAS HOLDING THOSE MANY MICS SO SEOKJIN WENT TO HOLD IT INSTEAD. A TRUE GENTLEMAN."
"He's so thoughtful," another fan commented.
"Wow he is genuinely considerate..," an X user remarked.
"Seokjin did this bc it looked very awkward to have a woman kneeling in front of J-Hope, holding the mics like this. Absolute gentlemen, they act immediately to prevent exploitation of women," a fan wrote on X.
"other ppl around can do this, but it's him who did. It screams his character! Truly Manner IDOL ! He is a superstar but he is so humble!," another fan commented.
Other fans mentioned:
"I knew it! I was like "ah that lady is gonna be in the pics, don't love that for her" and he swoops in like the lovely, socially conscious man he is," an X user wrote.
"those who calling him unserious should know the true gentleman that he is," another person remarked.
Additional highlights from BTS' Jin and J-Hope's interaction during the latter's military discharge
In addition to the artist's gesture, fans were overjoyed to witness the reunion of the two BTS members, especially since the Epiphany singer was the first to complete his military service before J-Hope.
The camaraderie between the two, often referred to as the "Sun and Moon" by fans, added an extra layer of joy to the already significant day.
The excitement heightened when BTS’ eldest member made a surprise appearance to welcome his bandmate after his military discharge. Dressed in a striking maroon Gucci outfit, the singer arrived with a large bouquet, which many believed symbolized the rapper's animated character, Mang.
Fans and reporters, already gathered to see the idol's return, were thrilled when the Moon singer stepped out of one of the cars. In a playful moment as they prepared to leave, he jokingly tried to take J-Hope to his car, humorously teasing about "kidnapping" him for a variety show shoot.
Due to their other commitments, they shared another hug before heading off in separate cars.
Meanwhile, Jin is set to release his solo debut album, Happy on November 15, 2024.
