Story highlights

BTS member Jin countered back at a troll after the post, which is being widely circulated on social media, shaded other members of the K-pop boy group. 

Ever since BTS' oldest member Jin was discharged from military service, he has been grabbing attention. But his latest counter with a troll after a social media post edit, which showed shading the other members of the K-pop group, has grabbed eyeballs. But, netizens loved how the oldest member defended his friends.

What was the post about which led Jin to hit back at a troll on social media?

A fan had shared an edit showing all the members’ ambassadorship and deals, but in the past, these kinds of pictures have been used to compare and shade idols, although the ARMY probably meant no harm.

To this, Jin replied, “Ah.. I just did a lot of them, but the others have dozens or even hundreds of ad offers too. They’re just choosing not to do them. Because I’ve turned down dozens myself… I think I won’t be taking on more (though if something I really like suddenly comes up, I might change my mind).”

Soon, ARMYS took to the comment section to support their beloved idol, and one user wrote, "Jin out here turning down ads like he is allergic to money, respect". Another user wrote, "I love Jin so much". "King behavior, only doing what he wants, not what the world expects", wrote the third user.
