BTS Jin reveals he doesn't want to act in his Weverse comment

In 2022, The Astronaut singer-songwriter previously mentioned on Weverse that he hasn't considered acting in K-dramas or motion pictures. However, when he debuted as a member of BTS in June 2013, the Tonight singer was known to have an interest in acting and took acting classes as well.

Earlier, the BTS star mentioned becoming a news reporter when he was in high school, to help disadvantaged people. After watching South Korean actor Kim Nam-gil in the 2019 K-drama, Queen Seondeok, he desired to become an actor and enrolled in acting classes. However, he was scouted by BIGHIT MUSIC after three months of his enrollment and started training under them.

Even though the BTS star has changed his opinions about debuting as an actor, he is keen on participating in various Korean variety shows. Before his military enlistment, Kim Seok-jin appeared on the popular variety show, Running Man, starring Yoo Jae-suk, Jee Seok-jin, HaHa, Kim Jong-kook, and Lee Kwang-soo, among others.

The Awake singer-songwriter also filmed his own variety show, The Drunken Truth, with celebrity chef Baek Jong-won. The episodes showed the BTS star's journey in making home-brewed alcohol, which he later named the Honey Jar of Butterfly.
