Fans React to ZEROBASEONE’s Gyuvin Calling BTS’ Jin His Mom’s “Forever One-Pick”

On September 25, 2024, ZEROBASEONE’s Gyuvin hosted a live session on Plus Chat, where he shared that Jin from BTS is his mother’s “forever one-pick.”During the chat, he reminisced about his visit to D’ICON LA during D’FESTA, where he took a photo next to the cutout of the BTS idol.

“When I visited D’ICON LA, a lot of people inquired about who I took a picture with, which sunbaenim. It was Jin-sunbaenim. There’s a reason for this. Primarily, he’s my mom’s ‘forever one-pick.’ And, although I say this with a hint of caution, I believe he’s among the Top 3 visuals in K-pop. My mom initially had no interest in idols, but Jin sunbaenim changed that,”he remarked.

For those unfamiliar, D’FESTA LOS ANGELES provides an exciting and exclusive K-pop experience, featuring an art exhibition, a virtual stage, and a performance movie for fans to revel in.
