BTS’ Jin Humble About His Looks: Fans React to ‘I Don’t Look Handsome’ Comment at Airport Before US Departure

On October 4, 2024, Jin from BTS was spotted at Incheon International Airport as he prepared for his upcoming trip to Los Angeles. The popular singer showcased a striking brown outfit from Gucci but seemed to be concealing his face with a black mask and a baseball cap. He humorously noted that he didn’t feel presentable that day, opting for a no-makeup look.

While reporters captured the moment, they engaged in jovial conversations with the idol. One reporter complimented him on his charisma, dubbing him the “main character.”Jin modestly replied, expressing that he felt he was not looking his best and preferred not to be photographed.

He jokingly mentioned that if he had known the press would be there, he would have put on some makeup to improve his appearance. Despite his humble comments, fans quickly took to social media to praise Jin’s looks. A user on X, @jellyjinah, commented:

“Now that was a surprise! So our Jinnie is traveling… And he’s so handsome.. No need to hide, you handsome guy!!”

“JIN IS REALLY THE MAIN CHARACTER YEAH TELL THEM!!!,”a fan commented.

“uh excuse me sir?! YOU ARE THEEE WWH hello?! YOU ARE HANDSOME, / stop that nonsense!,”another X user remarked.

“Sir, if you are calling yourself ugly while looking like THAT, then I don’t know what I am…,”another person mentioned.

“Hope BTS knows that as an ARMY, I appreciate their looks with makeup, but their bare faces are what I treasure. I hope others feel the same too,”a fan explained.

Many fans took to criticizing the reporters for continuing to follow and film Jin despite his clear discomfort. One fan expressed,

“I really do love him with or without makeup. But maybe this was him trying to subtly say, please leave me alone. Idk I might be wrong,”

“He looks good always, but if he feels uncomfortable with being filmed like this, why do they keep filming him? He’s saying it all politely too.”
