He also released the first series of conceptual photos, presenting himself in a retro aesthetic. She sported a long, straight brown hairstyle that we had never seen before.
ARMYs loved the Y2K vibes of the shoot, saying that Jin looked like the male lead from a K-Drama from that era. We’re definitely getting it Boys over the flowers OR Prince of coffee from it!
I don’t know how to put my thoughts into words, but this Jin is giving the male role to 2000s Japanese protagonist/Y2K or K-Drama/Movie and it’s damn hot 🔥😳🥵#Jin_Happy#Jin_IllBeThere#Jin_RunningWild#Jin pic.twitter.com/gVUc7xhUPw

ARMYs in particular thought that Jin might be a member of F4. Many have compared Jin to Yoon Ji Hoo (SS501‘S Kim Hyun Joong).
Reminds me of Ji-Hoon sunbaenim. I can’t see, I know the OG drama lover would agree with me. I can’t be the only one who sees this. 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/5LwWvs00Xm

Some thought he was straight out of the second generation K-Pop era. It has been compared to icons such as Kim Jaejoong.

Some even suggested a younger version of the Japanese actor, chef, TV presenter, entrepreneur and model Mokomichi Hayami.

He is not the only Japanese to whom Jin has been compared. Many also couldn’t see a resemblance to death Note protagonist Light Yagami.
