Thai actor Gulf Kanawut recently shed light on his now-viral interaction with BTS' Jin during the Milan Fashion Week’s Gucci Show. At an event, Gulf was asked about Jin's reaction to his spontaneous “I love you” confession, and the actor shared that the idol responded with a laugh.
Gulf added that Jin probably didn’t expect him to express his admiration so boldly and was likely surprised by it. He said:
"It came on its own. When I saw his face, he is really handsome. I’ve heard many BTS songs, when I saw him he was nice and every cute so it naturally came out."
