Jin

## Kim Seokjin

**Kim Seokjin** is a member of BTS and student at Korea University, who is a talented singer. He comes from a wealthy background. He and the gang are a pivotal part when friend’s disappearance has become the focus of an intense media circus. Jin sees the spotlight turned on them when it’s suspected that they may not be innocent.

Although he is a very good-looking man, Jin doesn’t actually think he’s *the* “School-wide Handsome.” He says it to be funny because it makes people laugh. If you know Jin, it’s his passion to make people laugh, cringe, and smile. It’s also a confidence booster because he was recruited to the University for his stunning beauty and, apparently, he’s been telling himself that he was handsome since he was young.

All in all, Jin means no harm or arrogance in calling himself “School-wide Handsome.” It’s just fun and games for himself, and the gang.

## **Physical Appearance**

Like Taehyung, Jimin and Cho-min, Jin has a jaw-dropping gorgeousness that he can make everyone around, whether they are male or female, stop dead in their tracks at the mere sight of him. What makes Jin so attractive is what we refer to as the “golden ratio” or “golden triangle”. His features are organized in a way that forms a triangle shape. They are close enough and far enough from each other that they are perfectly balanced. Not one feature of his face overtakes another. This kind of face is usually the most pleasant for people to view, because his whole facial structure is in constant harmony. The thing about Jin also, is that he has very Western European features, however his nose bridge is slightly scooped inward, and his nose tip is rounded downward, like many Korean noses. When you look at his eyes and nose, and even his eyebrows, he has more of a regional ethnic look. His face is a little bit bigger than most of the other guys, however, he gets away with this in Korean culture because of that golden ratio. His face is also deceptively small-looking when he covers his forehead with his bangs. Once that forehead is revealed, not only is light brought to all his features, but it shows the true size of his face.

## **Personality and Traits**

A huge part of Jin’s personality is his vanity and pride -- he’s enamored with his own physical appearance and takes any opportunity to flaunt his “school-wide good-looks”. Jin can’t go more than a few sentences without complimenting himself. Despite constantly talking about how handsome he is, Jin is *not* in any way narcissistic or arrogant, in reality. He is a really friendly, optimistic, and selfless young man; someone that can adapt to people based on their personalities. He has the ability to modify his behaviour to suit other people: how he is silly and goofy when around the gang, and is much more reserved and insightful around others, people who are closer to his age.

Jin is honest and knows when to assert himself. He knows when he is to be respected and isn’t shy when giving his two-cents in a conversation. Even though he is seen as confident and outgoing, Jin is insecure. He needs praise and he needs to have validation and that's why the gang gets a little hard for him at times because, as they all know, Jin doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves.

Jin is that one person you know will always be there. The guy people turns to when everything just seems hopeless. He's a safety net of sorts, and while he definitely enjoys being the go-to-guy for motivation and love, Jin is never someone's first option when it comes to friendship or even love. Sure, he's the reliable back-up who'll take you as you are, no matter what, and it's nice to know people count on him to always be there. But people only want him when what they had gets lost, broken up or just doesn't work out. Would he like to be comforted every once in a while? Sure, but Jin also knows that as everyone's second choice, he can't be fussy. He'll take what he's given no matter how unfair that may seem, Jin feels as though it's just what he's worthy of.
