Heā€™s Mr. Worldwide Handsome, even though sometimes heā€™s a little quirky and unique. That includes one time when he cut his own hair and posted the video to Twitter.

Hereā€™s what we know about this member in BTS, and the singer behind songs like ā€œEpiphanyā€ and ā€œMoon,ā€ Jin.Ā 

Jin is the oldest member of BTSĀ 

V hates wearing shoes. RM lost over 30 AirPods. Jungkook is, reportedly, afraid of microwaves. Each of the BTS members are unique in their own way. Even though Jin is the oldest member of this K-pop group, he still acts young at heart from time to time.Ā 

ā€œAs the oldest member, I think I experienced the world a little sooner than many people my age, so I think I am a grown-up,ā€ Jin said of his age, according to South China Morning Post. ā€œI just act like a kid on purpose. But I feel like a grown-up when I talk to my friends and they ask for advice.ā€

One time, Jin cut his hair and posted the video to social mediaĀ 

Sometimes, hair just gets too long. In 2018, Jin posted a video to Twitter with the translated caption being ā€œmy bangs.ā€ In it, he takes a pair of scissors and cuts off chunks of his hair in front of a mirror. Donā€™t worry, though, Jin can rock any look.

According to one translation, during the video, Jin said while snipping away, ā€œbecause I canā€™t see the front I will be cutting my hair. Oh, this is good! Oh, this is good! But something.ā€ Even though this video is from 2018, it earned almost a million likes from the BTS ARMY.Ā 

This wouldnā€™t be the only time Jin surprised fans. During BTSā€™ 7-second interviews in conjunction with Map of the Soul: 7, Jin shared the one thing that he always has in his bag. Spoiler alert: itā€™s a utensil.Ā 

ā€œIn my bag is a spoon always. I donā€™t know why. I never use it so itā€™s just there,ā€ Jin said.
