It seems that anonymity is his forte as he always seems to be missing a name at award shows. On his return to the Billboard Music Awards in 2018, he stunned the internet again whilst sporting a snazzy waistcoat, which earned him yet another nickname: “waistcoat guy”. 

Even without knowing about BTS, they definitely gained several new members to their fanbase as viewers were quick to notice Jin’s handsome looks on the red carpet. Talk about the power of looks.

3. Car Door Guy

Who knew getting out of a car could be attractive? Jin’s effortless and ethereal exit from a vehicle earned him the nickname “Car door guy” at the 2015 Melon Music Awards. 

As the car door slid open with Jin emerging from the vehicle, fans and netizens commented on the scene’s resemblance to a K-drama. Indeed, with his looks and charisma, Jin may just as well begin an acting career. 

4. The guy with the pink mic

BTS’s appearance in MTV Unplugged was a hot topic amongst fans as they sang to their latest singles. While the septet was belting songs, the hashtag “#theguywiththepinkmic” was slowly gaining traction on Twitter. 

Netizens and fans alike rallied together as the hashtag remained trending on social media in more than 14 countries.
