VIXX’s Ken and BTS' Jin’s friendship through the years
BTS’s Jin and VIXX’s Ken have been close friends for years, both being part of the ‘92-liner idol group alongside B1A4’s Sandeul. Their friendship has been evident through public interactions, from Ken sharing their hangout photos in 2016 to meeting at events like the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
In 2019, Ken shared in a live broadcast that Jin had gifted him a necklace for his birthday. Despite their busy schedules, they have remained in touch. In 2022, Ken mentioned on a broadcast that he had spoken with the BTS member and Sandeul, hoping to meet them soon. He said:
“I talked to Sandeul after a long time. I talked to Jin too. Jin worried about me…I need to see them.”
On Jo Kwon's YouTube show, Sandeul shared a funny story about meeting the BTS idol for the first time, revealing that Ken introduced them. He said:
"Jin looked straight at me and looked like someone who was possessed. He then came up to me and grabbed my belly like this."
Despite the funny first encounter, Sandeul said their friendship has been normal since, and they often go out to eat together. Ken, who introduced them, remains a key part of their trio.
In other news, the BTS idol is involved in a police investigation following an incident at a fan event in June 2024. A Japanese woman allegedly kissed him during his hugathon, despite the event being limited to hugs. A complaint was filed, and authorities have since identified the woman, urging her to come forward for questioning.
